💎 Jewels of Oz
About Jewels of Oz
Jewels of Oz is a magical match-3 puzzle adventure where Dorothy sets off to gather powerful jewels scattered across the Land of Oz. The Emerald Engine, the glowing heart of Emerald City, is losing energy, and only the Wizard can restore it. Your job is to clear the right jewels, complete each level’s requirements, and help bring power back to Emerald City as the journey moves from Kansas and Munchkin Land to Cornfield Farms and the Oz Forest.
Oz story and characters
This game leans into classic Oz vibes: Dorothy leading the quest, the Wizard’s mystery in the background, and Emerald City as the bright destination. In the wider Wizard of Oz world, Dorothy’s best-known companions include Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, plus figures like Glinda and the Wicked Witch. Even when a match-3 game keeps the cast light and playful, these familiar names help frame the adventure and make every level feel like another step down a jewel-studded road.
How to play
Swap jewels to create matches of 3 or more. Each level has a goal (usually collecting specific jewels). Keep matching and collecting until you complete the requirements and advance to the next area.
Tips and tricks
- Scan the whole board before moving. The “best” move is often the one that sets up your next match.
- Make matches near your target jewels to clear them faster.
- Prefer 4+ matches when you see them. Bigger clears help when a level gets tight.
- Work from the bottom when possible. Cascades can do free work for you.
- If you’re stuck, reset your focus: look for moves that change the board the most, not just the nearest match.
