What is Rubi and Sephir: Crystal Quest!

Join Rubi and Sephir on a sparkling journey through mystical lands. Swap gems, solve puzzles, and help them collect the crystals they need.

How to Play

Click on a gem and then click on an adjacent one to swap them, creating a row or column of three or more matching gems to clear them from the board. Keep clearing gems to meet each level's goal, such as collecting a certain number of crystals or clearing all the obstacles.

Tips for Playing

Look for moves that create cascades, as each consecutive match can trigger powerful chain reactions.
Prioritize clearing obstacles and locked tiles early to open up the board for more matches.
Save special gems like bombs or rainbow crystals for when the board is crowded, then use them to clear large areas.
Plan several moves ahead to avoid getting stuck with only one or two possible matches.
If the board has no moves, try a different swap direction or use a power-up to reshuffle.
