  1. Blessings on thee PrairiesDweller. I just want to add that the credit does not show up until you finish a level. So count up your 3 gems by this beautiful tip and then finish.

  2. You can also go into the game click options at the bottom of the screen disable the bomb and coal gems click quit click Classic play the game as you would normally try not to make mistakes as you build through the levels If you don’t see a match wait the game will show you a match. Once you get the fruit gem you can quit reload the game and you’ll get another one as long as you don’t miss you can get the 3rd one with making a fruit gem as well.

    • The fruit gem appeared on screen. I immediately quit, then reloaded , made a match and the fruit gem appeared again. I repeated this 3 times. But it does not show that I got a fruit gem. Still zero. What am I doing wrong?? thanks

    • No, you can no longer disable the bombs. If your option list has it you must be very special.

      If you read Lura’s article that is linked above you will find the date when Pogo changed it all.

      Suz

        • They disabled the coal and lock tiles, but there is no way to disable the bombs. Read the article that Lura linked and you will see for yourself.

  3. I got this badge plus I activated a PC for the 1 fruit gem and got it the same time. I used the instructions from another post here at Badge Hungry. I would never had figured it out without the great instructions on how to do this. Thank you!

  4. My account was already at the rainbow and only took me a few minutes to get my 3 fruit gems. I played it normally as I like the game.

    My second account I must have blown up the last time I played so started from scratch, but still only took about 10 minutes or so.

    The main thing is to just WAIT if you don’t see the move, it will show it to you. It’s better to wait a few seconds than to go backwards.

    Suz

  5. Got the badge and Amen, that’s over! Thanks for all the tips and, simply put, Lura, where would we ever be without you?

    • Your level has nothing to do with the fruit gem. There is a meter at the top of the pole thing on the left of the game screen. You must continue to make perfect matches in a row to advance that meter to 10 and fill it up with making matches for the gem to appear. So it is not the level of the game that matters, it’s the level of that meter filled with matches in a row without mistakes.

    • Maybe you are completing levels too quickly. Try only matching 3 gems at a time, not 4 or more, unless there is no choice. Don’t match special gems like flame gems.
      When I played I started on level 1 & got my fruit gem on level 6. I only matched 3 at a time.
      Good Luck! 🌝

  7. I got the One Big Diamond Badge with all your BHers tips and Prairie Dweller tips yea …..
    also everyone said you need finish the level to get for the fruit gems or bomb out which i did ….
    if you can level 14 no fruit , try menu quit and go back in try agaiin
    perhaps clear your chache and start over ugh…. gl sorry your fruit troubles.

  8. I have played this game for at least 10 years plus…. I enjoy it. BUT I have never been able to get a fruit gem, NEVER! Even 10 years ago when I was younger and smarter!!!!

    • Hi Pam.
      Read my comment above about completing levels too quickly.🐆
      Good Luck! 🐌

  9. Really like Bejeweled Twist badge was received in no time, just took my time . Did Jet Set Sol first but should have waited for have several from the Magic Marathon so back to it I go. No problems with anything this week so a happy camper.

    GL All!

  10. I completed the first level, Level 1, but I don’t see the new game screen, it doesn’t appear, instead I see the game summary, my rank, and the big yellow PLAY button.

    • Got it! Thanks everyone for the tips! Once I got to level 10 and got the fruit gem, Prairies’ tips did the trick!

  11. Great suggestions, but how do you earn a fruit? I am still confused about that.

    Thank you!

  13. Following everyone’s advice I got the BT badge first thing this morning in about 10 minutes (got 2 fruit gems after I played level 10 which I set up beforehand). Then I played again and got the 3rd fruit. I went very slow and sometimes waited for the match to blink when I wasn’t 100% sure so I wouldn’t make any mistakes.

    What took more of my time was the Sweet Tooth Town Event since I don’t play that game but I finally got it. Been playing different games from the Magic Marathon and combined Jet Set with a badge from the Marathon. I did get 4 Quinn’s but I really like that game.

    Good luck all!

  14. Okay, I had just quit and decided that this was one badge I would never get but thanks to PrairiesDweller I am going back and trying what you said. I pray it works for me! Thank you!

  15. PrairiesDweller, you are truly a Bejeweled Twist Master (Mistress?, ha ha). I love BT but did not know about your little trick. I haven’t tried it yet but am confident you know your stuff.

    For anyone wondering how to get a fruit badge: You just have to keep making matches in one move Just don’t make more than one move to create a match and you will build toward the gem award. As Suz said, if you don’t see a match, juts wait and sparkles will appear on the game board to show you a legal, one-move match.

    Happy badging everyone!

    • all this advice is well and good but it’s impossible, i have been playing for 11 hours now and none of this advice has worked still not even 1 gem, no matter what i try nothing is working, pogo i have had it and won’t be renewing my membership

      • Are you making wrong twists? If so, that moves you backwards.

        You have to go slow, make sure the twist will make a match and remove 3 or more gems.

        If you don’t see a good twist, WAIT, and the game will highlight a good twist.

        See the twist in your mind before you do it, make sure it’s correct before you do it.

        If you do that you should have the badge in less than 30 minutes starting from scratch.

        Good Luck!

        Suz

        • I realize my problem trying to get this badge is moving too fast and not being sure the twist is going to produce a match. I’m not patient enough to sit and wait for sparkles, lol.

          The good thing is that this is a weekly and perhaps after things have calmed down with all the June marathons etc I’ll give it a try again after reading all the hints. After all, we have all year, right? :).

          I didn’t think I’d get that STT event badge either but I did so maybe down the road for BT and Puck’s Peak.

          BTW, congrats for the 12,000 badges.

          • Cindy, things calm down?? I don’t think that’s Pogo’s plan the way we have been getting bombarded for the past year. LOL

            sirron1957

          • sirron, I hear ya. June seems very overloaded, so far July doesn’t but the month is early yet, lol.

    • Hi Catmom,
      If you think I am a mistress people will suggest you get your eyes checked!
      I learned the strategy by accident!
      Here is my true confession (hand on bible):
      “On Tuesday I started playing Bejewelled Twist to get to level 10 before the Wednesday Challenge. But I quickly bombed out. Now I was mad 🙇🏼‍♂️ (Part I). So I restarted at level 1. Suddenly on level 6 I got a pop up saying I had created a rare fruit gem 🍇 by maxing the chain meter. But it was only Tuesday. Now I was mad 🙇🏼‍♂️ (PartII). So I exited to Pogo homepage. But I was still mad so I left Pogo. A few hours later I decided to go back to BT
      and use the fruit gem to get it out of my sight. My mad had returned 😖 (Part III). But the fruit was missing. 🕵🏼‍♂️ Now I was mad (Part IV) 🙅🏽‍♂️. So I made 1 match in disgust and the fruit 🍎 gem returned. Now I was mad (Part V) 😣. So I exited again to Pogo homepage.
      Was I losing my mind 🤪 or was it Pogos fault 👿? Silly question 🤡. Then I thought 👨🏽‍🏫 this might be a strategy to turn 1 fruit gem 🍋 into 3 fruit gems 🍓🥝🥥 and give hope to people 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦who doubted they could earn the badge. That’s my true story.”

      • Nuttier than a fruitcake or “mad” scientist? LOL! Seriously, after yours and other’s tips I may actually try this again some week in the future, I truly am very bad at this game and can’t even always tell if the swirly thing will end up in the right place. It would be nice if it would go clockwise and counter clockwise.

        Will also try your Rainy Day Spider hints. I like the game OK and may play for badges but this tip will surely be helpful at some future badge.

  16. Thanks to this wonderful website, I was able to get my Bejeweled badge in no time! Thank you everyone for the tips. I even tried to explain how to get it to some people in my room when I was getting it. LOL they said, “You make it sound easy!” I told them there is excellent explanations on how to get it on badgehungry.com!

  17. Finally got the badge had two took a break and came back to game made one move and the badge appeared on the screen saying I won the badge. Also did anyone else get the We Are Pogo badge don’t know what I did to get it thanks for iinput

  18. Okay Jeff, I did every single thing you said. It’s been over an hour and I still don’t have a single fruit gem. I quit. This is just one badge I will never have.

  19. I finished the Bejeweled Twist challenge much faster (15 – 20 minutes) than I was expecting.

  21. Well I reached my breaking point. Only got to #7 with a score of 281K and still couldn’t get to #10. When a game stops being fun and it is more work then I want then it is not important to me. I am happy for others who gotten the badge and even following the great tips did me no good. Maybe later during the year I might try again using it as a personal but right now I have had enough.

  22. We;ll here I am, it was late and couldn’t sleep so I decided to give BT one more try. For some reason everything was going much smoother then it was today. Got to 10, got the rainbow chain then the fruit gem & then followed PrairiesDweller exact directions and it worked so thank you again PD for the awesome tip.

  23. Everyone has probably moved on to other challenges by now but I TOTALLY understand the people who have posted to say that they don’t get this game.

    When I first started playing it, I just could not mentally visualize the right moves. I kept trying for a while and sudden;y something in my brain clicked and I was able to mentally turn the jewels to know where to make one move matches.

    And PrairiesDweller, you are still a Jedi, even though you stumbled on your strategy out of frustration, ha ha.

  24. Well…after 4 days of trying to win the BT badge I officially give up. I cannot get past 4% on the meter even after trying all the hints and tips on this fabulous site ,( thanks Lura). First yearly album that I wont complete…oh well lol. Thanks everyone who left all the game play hints…

    • I hate to see anyone give up on a game I learned to enjoy. The way I taught myself to see a “good” twist for matches was to point two fingers directly at the screen and then twist my wrist clockwise one space to see if my finger marked gems made a match. For example I might point at 2 reds and “twist wrist” them to see if a real twist would line up 3 where I wanted. If wanting to move only 1 gem to make a match with 2 others, I still pointed 2 fingers to give me a better viewpoint. The only reason to EVER make a non-matching twist is if absolutely necessary to disarm a bomb. An unmatching twist will set you back to the beginning of your current level, NOT all the way back to the beginning. I assume that you have blocked coal and locked gems as this site shows.

      • Thank you FadedWiild Rose for the comments. Yes I have blocked coal and locked gems. I will keep trying until Tuesday lol. This is the first badge I have ever given up on and I have been a Club member from the start. Again thanks for your comments.

        • The best tip she gave you is to make sure that you see that it’s a good move. She uses her fingers to see the move, others just see it in their mind.

          The only thing I can add is to take your time. If you don’t see a good move just WAIT until the game shows you. Taking an extra 10 seconds is better than making a bad move and going backwards.

          You CAN do this!!

          Suz

  25. Ok I am up to level 10 If I get a fruit ..what do I do??? Match it or quit or what???

  26. A MILLION thank you’s for the step-by-step instructions for getting fruit gems in Bejeweled Twist. I never, ever could have done it without Badge Hungry!! I LOVE BADGE HUNGRY!!
