Sam you can match 3 monkeys or any number of monkeys before you fill the cages. They just cannot fall of the board before you fill in the cages.
Linda when you have completed the 5 coin match in the other area it may unlock the monkey area. When you open the monkey area what does it say on the right page of the book? Does it still say you must not let the monkeys fall off the board?

Hi again. The Hidden Quest says- Fill all traps before allowing any monkeys to escape. I have just done this correctly once again and still no jewel. I have completed every other Quest it has shown me, so I now am stuck on this game. Frustrated Sam.

Sam sometimes those monkeys fall off very fast. Try one of the "easier" monkey boards so you can be sure no monkeys fall off the board.
Also make sure when you go to each Continent" that all the circles are all the same color indicating you completed all boards in that area.

After hours and hours working on this level I finally made a 5 gold coin match....the jewel went to the bottom left side of the board. I didn't finish changing the board squares all to gold. The jewel stayed where it was and I hit the try again button. This time I turned all the squares to gold...got a jewel, Chicky Mask and it took me out of the region. However nothing changed in that region...All dots still white...I don't know where to go from here...I am very frustrated to say the least. The book says, silver completed, hidden quest completed, gold locked. If you read the book it says the 5 gold coins show the suns radiance or something to that effect...this is what it said before I matched the 5 coins and got the jewel. Help please! My board says 48% done. In the circular area before you go into the map room these are the jewels I DO NOT have yet: Aquamarine, Adventure Scarab, Quartz Timepiece, Delicate Zircon Crystals, Unswappable Fluorite, Lapis, and Black Pearl. Then behind this are areas that say yet to come and there are other jewels behind these areas....Can anyone tell me exactly where and what I have to do to get the jewels I have mentioned I DO NOT have yet...before I even attempt to reach the other areas of play....thanks...I just can't figure out this from the game tips on Gamezeno. Sorry to keep posting with so many questions but I can't get anywwhere by trying to sort out the Gamezebo tips...

linda you need to play the white levels. After completing each one they should turn to gold.

I have played all the white levels but can't figure out why they still are all white...so I don't know why some say silver level complete, hidden quest complete, gold locked. Others say silver level complete, hidden quest undiscovered, gold locked. I need to know how to establish what to do in each of these regions...I also have 2 blue dots ot the board. For example the Africa level says sivler lever complete, hidden quest compelte, gold locked. So why is the gold still locked? I played for the Chicky Mask and got that so I am confused...Thanks for any insight.

If you have 2 dots that are purple what color are the rest of the dots on that board? If they are different that means you have not completed the rest of that Level. If you got the Chicky Mask and the Level is showing 2 blue dots then you need to play those 2 blue dot Levels to complete the Level and get a 2nd Jewel. That should unlock another Area.

O.K. I went back to the Africa area and the whole region is showing white dots....even though the book says silver completed, hidden quest completed, gold locked...so I just don't know what to do there anymore...??? Thanks. Do I still have to play something here and if so what...??

Linda in your previous post you said there were 2 blue dots on one of the Levels. You need to play that Level so all the the dots turn to the same color to complete that Level. Also go into every other Level and make sure the dots are all the same color indicating you completed everything.

Remember when you complete a Level if you did not "match" the way the Level says (like matching a specific number of coins) you will have missed getting a hidden jewel and you need to get it to move on. On the "map" Levels will show a green dot to indicate you can go back in to complete it.

Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Wow, thanks again. I apologize but this game is confusing me...I will go and play the areas with the coloured dots first now and see what happens.

where did you buy this game? sounds like a good one

do you think BigFish will get it - the ones I checked out were all $20 --

It is generally a 19.99 game. BF may get it, they have a few other Jewel Quest games, but no telling when. You can download from Spintop here.

menahune I think I saw it at Target and BestBuy in a Jewel Case for $9.99.

I found my came here in Canada at a Stapeld store. They were clearing out PC games and this one was $9.99. Since then I haven't seen any Jewel Quest games anywhere here. I see you can download the newer version Jewel Quest Heritage from some sites.
