How to play Jewel Christmas
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Swap adjacent tiles |
| Left click / drag | Make a match |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time. Nothing about it assumes you have played it before.
