Hi Gerry,

Thanks for the complement, but the credit goes to Robin Jackson, over on GZ. She wrote the T&T on the game, I just extracted the info from her Great write-up because I thought it might help Linda. Robin did a heck of a job on the T&T and had some good ideas on ways to beat the game

Judy & I love the Jewel Quest games (we have them all except the 4th one; hope to get it later this year) and continue to play them. Right now, I am still trying to get past the last Gold Quest location (Hekia) in Iceland and it has been giving me fits...I know the stragety to beat it, just haven't gotten it to work yet...but will not give up! lol

Hidden Quest question: I have played both the silver and hidden quest for Europe. The book says silver and hidden quests completed. Gold locked. Why is the gold still locked then if silver and hidden are done? I also had hidden quest showing on the map from time to time but there are no areas of hidden quest there now. I am somewhat confused as to why the hidden quests are giving me so much trouble. Thank you for the insert above it certainly has helped me but still not 100 per cent sure about how to move along. I have have managed to open 3 gold quests at this time. Thanks for any help.

linda make sure you have found all Jewels because some boards have to be completed in a specific way in order to get the "2nd Jewel" on that board. Try playing and completing another area other than Europe then go back. Good Luck!

Thanks!

Iceland hidden quest...I have a question about melting 3 iceblocks with 1 warming jewel...I can't get past this quest...how do you line up the iceblock to melt 3 jewels...when I drop a warming jewel above an area that is frozen..only the top jewel melts...so how can I melt 3 at one time? Thanks for any suggestions. Also I am having a terrible time trying to match 5 gold coins horizontally. It almost seems that the longer I play the fewer coins come down for me to work with...any ideas on how to do this one as well??? Help please...I have been reading the gamezebo tips and tricks but still stumped!

linda333, sorry I can't answer your question, but if it is any consolation, I am about 51% done, and I am still confused by this game. I'm still not sure what's ulocked,or where to go next. I even think I replayed some boards that I had already finished! Keep trying and good luck!

Thank you anyway! Confused is right on this game...I will just keep working at it...I know I have replayed boards but still didn't accomplish enough...Grrr....I hope the next Jewel Quest game is better than this one for knowing exactly where you are and what to do next to move on.

I guess you just have to keep trying it took me months to finish this game

There is even one board where you have to end the board in a tie score with Sabastian. Read the right page of the book carefully prior to playing a board because in order to get the "jewel" you sometimes have to do something different to get that Jewel.
Also when you first open the game you can see which areas have not been completed and in which area the missing jewels are to be found.
Hope this helps.

Have more questions. Help please...does anyone know the secret of lining up the 5 gold coins horizontially??? Been at this for hours. Just can't get it! Also when you have a gold dot on the map does that mean you have completed the gold level or you have to go and play each place in that region with a gold dot??? If a region has only a whte/silver dot does that mean you haven't completed the hidden quest even if the book says silver quest completed, hidden quest completed...gold locked???

Linda you can line the 5 coins up vertically or horizontally. I try to get 2 coins next to each other and 2 coins across from them on the same line and then try an drop a coin down between them to form 5 in a row.
Don't worry about turning all the spaces to gold just focus on matching 5 coins. Once you have the jewel you can go back and match all spaces to gold without having to do the 5 match again.
I believe the gold is locked if you didn't get that "matched number" of coins completed.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Hi, has anyone any tips on how to beat Sebastian in the Gold Quest in South America I am now pulling my hair out. I have 3 levels to beat him on and I just wondered if there was any help out there. Thanks Sam
