GemDom Rush

Someone has pinched every gem from the royal crown, keep by keep. As the kingdom's last jeweller, it falls to you to put them back. Each board gives you a crown with empty settings and a ticking rush timer. Swap neighbouring gems to make rows of three or more and watch them fly home to the crown. Fill every setting before time is up and the keep is yours. Hesitate, though, and The Crack spreads across the stone, freezing gems where they sit until a match sets them loose. A KINGDOM WORTH WINNING BACK There are 120 keeps to reclaim across five realms, from the Bronze Marches to the Crown Keep itself. Each realm has its own tricks up its sleeve: ice that needs melting, gold coin tiles, chained and vine-bound gems, ancient relics to dig out and stubborn stone blocks. Every twelfth keep is a Seat, a sterner test that holds half the realm. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Kingdom Run – work your way along the kingdom road and earn up to three stars per keep • Daily Rush – a brand-new board each day, with as many attempts as you fancy • Endless Vault – forget the crown and simply outlast the clock • King of the Board – one special board for the whole week On the Daily Rush and King of the Board you are up against the royal court, seven house jewellers whose scores are set for the day or week. They live on your device, so you can chase the top spot on the Tube, on a plane or anywhere else without a signal. CLEVER GEMS, BIGGER BLASTS Four in a row forges a Tower gem to clear a whole row. Where two lines cross you get a Siege gem that flattens everything nearby. Five in a row makes a Crown gem capable of clearing an entire colour. Swap two special gems into each other for a spectacular combination, and bank extra seconds with every line of four or more. A HELPING HAND Five boosts are ready when a keep gets tricky: Time Stone, Battering Ram, Jeweller, Reshuffle and Double Setting. Coins come from playing well and buy more boosts or one of the collectible crowns. REBUILD THE KINGDOM Coins are not only for boosts. Fifteen works of masonry lie in ruin across the five realms — the Masons' Yard, the Counting House, the Relic Crypt, the Star Vault, the Beacon of the Keep and more — and each one you pay the masons for stays rebuilt for good. A standing work keeps paying you back on every board: more coins, extra seconds on the Kingdom Run timer, longer before The Crack spreads, a richer Daily Boon and heavier realm chests. Realms you finish rebuilding light up on the kingdom map. The rush modes are left exactly as the royal court plays them, so those tables stay a fair contest. REASONS TO RETURN • Fifteen works of masonry to rebuild, realm by realm, each with a permanent reward • A seven-day reward calendar, with an exclusive crown waiting on day seven • 23 achievements to earn and a rank ladder from Bronze Keep to Crown • A treasure chest for every realm you complete with a full set of stars • A progress card you can share with friends MADE TO SUIT YOU No sign-in, no connection required, and everything you earn stays on your device. It looks right on iPhone and iPad in portrait or landscape, and the game pauses itself whenever you step away. You can switch music, sound effects and haptics on or off, tone down flashes and movement, and add outlines to each gem cut if you find colours hard to tell apart. A guided first move and quick tips for each new obstacle make it easy to get going.
