Make sure you read the instructions for the goal for the hidden level because sometimes it is different than what you did for the silver level. On the challenge where you are playing against an opponent you are not trying to copy them you are trying to beat them. There is a number assigned for each goal, for example, whoever reaches 34 first wins, and you have to take turns so you want to get the maximum squares per turn so that you reach the goal first and win.


Also, if the board ends up in a tie with all squares completed, it counts the same as a win--I did it on two locations in S.A. Gold.

BEATING SEBASTIAN--GOLD LEVEL, SOUTH AMERICA.

You have to let Sebastian move first. If he gets more than 4 points on the first move, restart the board.

If he gets more than five points ahead, restart the board.

Ensure that you get 3 or 4 jewels with each turn and not just two.

If the game ends up in a tie, you will get the location the same as if you had won.

Persistence pays off, but you have to watch carefully to make the most points with each move and not set up Sebastian to make more points.

On some boards, I had to restart 10 times until he got 3 or 4 points on the first move. If you are ahead by one point exactly and there is one square left, help Sebastian to get it, because it will count as a win if you or he gets it (tie score / same as win).

I tried completing the board without lining up more than 3 white pearls, tried ending with no more than 3 white pearls on the board, but neither work. Can someone please please tell me what I'm supposed to do.

I have Jewel Quest II I got so frustrated with that game on the super hard i gave up after months of trying to complete the puzles. This is different, I just don't understand what to do. with Pacific Northwest Hidden Quest. Please Help.


You have to complete the hidden quest in Pac NW level (just one board) without letting any pearls fall off. Follow the instructions in the book before the location exactly and it will unlock the next level.

Every time I go to a different country the locations there are either "Locked" or "Completed". What am I doing wrong? There are 2 different Hidden Quests but when I go to them they also are either locked or completed (I can't remember which). ...Please help.


You have to do the hidden quests in the right sequence. When you leave the map room and reenter it, the globe will be positioned on the area you need to work on next. Follow the clues in the book before each location for an area to complete the hidden quest, then that will unlock the next silver or gold level.

When this happens you typed in a different user name, even if you missed one character, deleted or added a space at the end. Check the name in the guest book and try again. Also, you can verify which names you have in your guest book in the following location: Windows only:

c:\users\public\public documents\iWin\Jewel Quest 3

Click on the folder in that location, and it will show you the exact names of players in your guest book. It is suggested that you back up this folder from time to time, then you can reinstall it on demand.

The previous time I was 41% in game, I copied and pasted the save file to new windows but after installing the game, it didn't recognize them and I had to start from 0% with new name.
Now, I am 71% on game and want to reinstall the windows, what should I do to keep my records?


There is a folder in the following location that contains all your data. Copy it whenever you need to back it up to a jump drive or data disc, then you can reinstall it on demand. Simply replace the old folder with the one you backed up, or you can use your backup to replace a new installation of the game:

C:\Users\public\public documents\iWin\Jewel Quest 3

You cannot let any monkeys fall off the board before you have them locked in the cage first. Put the monkeys in the cage on any one of the China Hidden quest level and do not let any monkeys fall off the bottom, then complete the board, then you will get the jewel. Pick the board with the fewest cages. I did it after about five tries. Now i am on the Gold level in China at 69%

Remember, the book before each location gives you the clues you need to successfully complete that area. You have to do that before you can move onto the next, although you are free to go back and do over boards in areas that you have already completed, but this would not advance your percentage. You cannot unlock the gold level in East Asia until the Gold level in China is completed. There might even be a hidden quest after Gold level China, but that level is hard enough I may not see it for a while. Trapping the monkeys in the cage and holding them there is hard enough.

I have read the info about the hourglass, the token that you win, and it says there may be a way to use it to extend the time, so I have been experimenting with clicking and dragging it to the area I need to complete. I'm trying different combinations of doing this, and maybe the other jewels will make the boards easier, but the game is hard enough now where I need some help, because it's taken nearly two years just to get to the 69% level. That's after one area completed in the Gold level China.

Remember to leave the map room and re-enter it if you need to know which quest to do next, and right before the specific area, the book will tell you exactly what you need to do to complete the hidden quest. You only have to do this once -- pick a location within an area that works for you, complete the task according to the instructions, and you will get the jewel and it will unlock the gold level in the next area. You do not have to complete all locations in any one area of a hidden quest to advance. But you have to follow the instructions in the hidden quest to the letter, plus you still have to finish the board within the time allotted to get the jewel.

There is a message in the book before each quest that tells you what you need to do to successfully complete hidden quest. You cannot progress to the gold levels on the quests you want to complete unless you complete the preceding hidden quest. The book before each location gives you the clues you need to successfully complete that area. You have to do that before you can move onto the next, although you are free to go back and do over boards in areas that you have already completed, but this would not advance your percentage. You cannot unlock the gold level in East Asia until the Gold level in China is completed. If you need to know exactly what you need to do next, leave the map room and reenter it. The globe will position itself on the quest you need to work on next to advance. Hold the CTRL key down and this will show you only the gold and uncompleted squares with all the jewels gone (of course they don't go anywhere, it's just a visual aid).
