Fans Have Spoken – reviews from real players:
“This game is Awesome! Challenging and entertaining. Not just some gem or gummy game. Terrific find!”
“This is like the version of Puzzle Quest I never knew I wanted. Oodles of quests, challenges, guild activities, cool monsters, arena fights, ranked fights, and man I could just play that treasure mini game all day.”
“This is gems and fee to play done right. You don't need to spend money but if you can, you will. It won't make you overpowered, but you will have fun with it. The game play is great and varied. There are tons of different options.”
“Different than other match 3 games, very fun and addicting. Keeps me entertained for hours.”
“This game is FANTASTIC! I was a huge fan of the original game
"Puzzle Quest" and this game is created by the same people. The other "Puzzle Quest" sequels have been disappointments and I haven't enjoyed them. This game however, has the same great game play.”
“It's refreshing to see a game without timers or stamina. I can play this game for hours without needing to wait.”
“This helped cure me of candy crush.”
“Over the years, many games have come and gone on my phone. But this one is always there. Free. No ads. No limited-play "lives" (think Candy Crush). No real downside. Your standard colored-gem matching game with a wonderfully nerdy twist!”
“My wife almost leave me because of this game, and it happened twice. Nuff said.”

Campaigns are receiving a well-deserved refresh to enhance their position in the overall game.

We aim to achieve this by separating Campaign Tasks from the Campaign Pass, which will permit players to play at their own pace for a shot at new and improved Campaign Rewards!
**Shiny Mythics**
Part of the new Campaign rewards include Shiny Mythics, which will behave the same as regular and Legendary Shiny troops. So now the new Campaign Mythic Troop can be upgraded even further as part of the new pass. Once a Campaign ends, these Shiny Troops will move to the Shiny Chest as rare drops after a short delay.
