Start New Game!
The goal of Bejeweled is to line up three or more gems in horizontal or vertical rows. When three or more gems line up, they are removed from the board and points are earned. The remaining gems will "cascade" downward to fill the empty spaces left behind by the removed gems. When the gems cascade downwards, they can form additional gem rows which are automatically pulled off the board for extra points.

Players can switch any two gems on the board as long as they are vertically or horizontally adjacent to each other. When the two gems are switched, a three-gem row must be created or the move is considered illegal and will be disallowed.

To move the cursor around the screen and highlight gems, you can use the Up / Down / Left / Right arrows on the direction pad. You can also use the 2-4-6-8 number keys on your phone to navigate to different gems.

Once you've selected the two gems you want to switch, highlight the first gem and press "5". Now move to the second gem and press "5" again to switch the two gems. As long as a row of three or more gems is formed, the row of gems will be removed and you will be able to look for your next move.

PLAY Multiplayer mode
Select Multiplayer from the Main Menu to connect to the server and enter the Bejeweled MP Lobby. From the lobby, select the following game play options:

1. Auto Match - search the Network for any player to randomly match with. If no match is immediately found, you will be given the option to continue waiting or play a game while you wait for a match to be found. If you choose to play while waiting, a dialog will interrupt your game as soon as a match is found and place you in a multiplayer game versus your online opponent. Note, you will not have the option to reject a match against an opponent once he/she is found. To randomly choose an opponent and maintain the right to reject that match, do a "Challenge Player (Random)" search.
2. Challenge Player - select to challenge an opponent by:
1. Name - type in the specific username of an opponent to challenge
2. Rank - search online for an opponent higher, lower or closest to your overall rank.
3. Skill Level - search online for an opponent of a specific skill level (note: you can find your own skill level listed in "My Stats").
4. Random - search for an online opponent to randomly match with. Unlike "Auto Match" it will not allow you to play a Single Player game while you wait to be matched, but it will allow you the option to accept or reject the opponent that is randomly selected for you.
3. Wait for Challenge - select to wait for an online opponent to select you as an opponent by name. If no match is immediately found, you will be given the option to continue waiting or play a game while you wait for a match to be found. When a match is found, you will be asked to accept the match. If you reject the match, you can continue playing your Single Player game (if you chose to play while waiting) and if you accept, you will begin a head-to-head match against your online opponent.
