June 5, 2019 at 7:39 amHOW TO TURN 1 FRUIT GEM INTO 3 FRUIT GEMS:
1. Play normally like Whylynn suggested: “When a level is finished, and the new game screen appears, click on “menu”, then “quit”. Then choose ‘classic’ again from the main screen. Each time you do this the counter that counts down to the bombs will start at 20 again.”
2. When you finally get a fruit Gem STOP PLAYING immediately!
3. Exit the game by going to Pogo homepage.
4, Reload the game and click on Start Game-> Classic-> Continue
5. The grid will be the same as you left it BUT THE FRUIT GEM will be missing! 🙂
6. Make 1 match and magic – the FRUIT GEM RETURNS! Yippee
7. Repeat steps 3-7
8. Play until you finish the level or get bombed out.
MysteriousMoods says
June 5, 2019 at 9:39 amYou 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.
Michele says
June 5, 2019 at 3:49 pmFor some reason the bombs would not disable for me arggg but finally got the badge after a couple of hours playing. Was a very frustrating badge to get. But it is done! Thanks for all the tips
MomsBassetHound says
June 5, 2019 at 7:11 pmYou can no longer disable the bombs, Pogo changed it years ago, and Lura mentions it in her article that is linked above.

June 8, 2019 at 10:12 amThank you, thank you, thank you! I was never going to get that. Your help was spot on.
Beverly says
June 5, 2019 at 12:26 pmI followed this explicitly and still have zero.
Do you at any time play (match) the fruit gem? I did only after exiting 3 times.
Beverly says
June 5, 2019 at 1:32 pmi just got the badge, and I have absolutely no idea how. I don’t think I had anything that looked like a fruit….
But I am so glad that it is over !!
PrairiesDweller says
June 5, 2019 at 1:41 pmNo I didn’t match the fruit gem. Check your badges. Even if the strategy failed you should be at 1/3.
Life4Style says
June 5, 2019 at 1:14 pmI tried this tip but I must be doing something wrong. Everytime I re-enter the game it takes me to the game where I left off and the fruit gem is still there. I don’t get your steps #4, #5 etc. Not a big problem though, I rather like the game.
Tnriomom says
June 5, 2019 at 2:00 pmThank you for this tip! It worked and saved so much time!
dawn says
June 5, 2019 at 8:02 pmi have played this since 10am and still not one fruit gem, i called customer service even but they are no help, i have read all the tips, here and in the forums, nothing is working, i am tired of paying for pogo and it’s getting worse and worse, am i the only one who can’t get any???
MomsBassetHound says
June 5, 2019 at 8:37 pmYou have to go slow and not make any wrong twists. If you don’t see a good move, WAIT, and the game will show you what to twist. See the twist in your mind before you do it.
If you make wrong twists you will go backwards.
I started my 2nd account from scratch, must have blown myself up the last time I played, and had the badge in about 10 minutes. But I never made a single wrong twist.
Good Luck!!

mommalove44433 says
June 6, 2019 at 11:09 amI had it up to 9 before Wed. but had 4 bombs ticking away and I couldn’t get em to go away, so I lost everything. I’m still not sure about the tip for starting bombs back at 20 I like the game but wow, this is a toughie for me at least.
mommalove44433 says
June 6, 2019 at 2:23 pmI just want to THANK EVERYONE for the tips on bejeweled, It took me 3 tries to get it up to 10 cause of bombs, but I finally got it finished just now…Even had more fruits than needed lol. Whew. Thank you ALL.
MomsBassetHound says
June 6, 2019 at 4:22 pmCongrats on getting the badge!!

Shy says
June 5, 2019 at 10:56 pmYou are not alone! I like this game, but can not get a dang fruit. Did the other day, but not sure
how I did. I disabled the coal and bombs on foxfire. Played without them. No luck.
Don’t think I have the energy to keep trying. Soooooo many challenges. I will never get
them all done. The hints are great and much appreciated. lol, actually I don’t know where
to start. So guess I will just play what I can. It exhausts me just looking at what has to
done.
I admire all of you and what you have accomplished. The badges and tokens that were posted
boggled my mind. Especially you Suz……….holy moley!
Much good luck to all. Me?….. a challenge is a challenge but his lady thinks what they are
throwing out there is a bit much.
Susan says
June 5, 2019 at 9:10 pmPrairiesDweller, thank you, thank you, thank you! I was beginning to believe this was the one badge I wouldn’t earn! Took another hour, but now it’s finally done.
slabook says
June 5, 2019 at 11:02 pmThat was an awesome tip! Thank you so much!
FADEDWILDROSE says
June 5, 2019 at 9:18 amBlessings 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.

June 5, 2019 at 11:06 amWhat is the tip he gave you

Janice Behm says
June 5, 2019 at 10:38 amThe 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
FADEDWILDROSE says
June 5, 2019 at 11:21 amAfter you get your 3, you must finish a level to get the credit.
PrairiesDweller says
June 5, 2019 at 11:23 am8. Play until you finish the level or bomb out. 🤹♀️
Good Luck! 👍
Jenan says
June 5, 2019 at 11:50 amYou must then finish/play out the level for the credit for the fruit gems to show up.
MomsBassetHound says
June 5, 2019 at 10:51 amNo, 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
MysteriousMoods says
June 6, 2019 at 11:39 amOther people have told me they were able to disable it and got the badge.
MomsBassetHound says
June 6, 2019 at 2:33 pmThey 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.
Suz
Cowkidsp says
June 5, 2019 at 11:02 amDon’t see disable bomb?
tiggerlicious196 says
June 8, 2019 at 7:19 pmYou can’t
wereingodshands says
June 5, 2019 at 10:11 amI 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!
MomsBassetHound says
June 5, 2019 at 10:54 amMy 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
jigsawing says
June 5, 2019 at 11:39 amGot the badge and Amen, that’s over! Thanks for all the tips and, simply put, Lura, where would we ever be without you?
Cowkidsp says
June 5, 2019 at 12:00 pmPlease, please can anyone help? I’m at level 14 an no fruit? Please …
Jenan says
June 5, 2019 at 12:14 pmYour 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.
cowkidsp says

PrairiesDweller says
June 5, 2019 at 1:27 pmMaybe 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! 🌝
Kathy says
June 5, 2019 at 1:24 pmI 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 ….

perhaps clear your chache and start over ugh…. gl sorry your fruit troubles.
Pam says
June 5, 2019 at 1:26 pmI 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!!!!
PrairiesDweller says
June 5, 2019 at 1:45 pmHi Pam.
Read my comment above about completing levels too quickly.🐆
Good Luck! 🐌
Kirsten says
June 5, 2019 at 2:17 pmReally 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!
marcybookoo says
June 5, 2019 at 2:41 pmI 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.
marcybookoo says
June 5, 2019 at 3:15 pmGot it! Thanks everyone for the tips! Once I got to level 10 and got the fruit gem, Prairies’ tips did the trick!
Bernadette Raftery says
June 5, 2019 at 3:24 pmGreat suggestions, but how do you earn a fruit? I am still confused about that.
Thank you!
Alwayssixty9 says
June 5, 2019 at 5:03 pmThank you Thank you PD.
It worked like a charm
DeeVermont says
June 5, 2019 at 6:02 pmFollowing 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!
Captiva007Pl says
June 5, 2019 at 7:27 pmOkay, 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!
Catmom2004 says
June 5, 2019 at 7:51 pmPrairiesDweller, 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!
dawn haschak says
June 5, 2019 at 9:06 pmall 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
MomsBassetHound says
June 5, 2019 at 10:28 pmAre 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
Cindy4764 says
June 6, 2019 at 11:17 amI 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.
sirron1957 says
June 6, 2019 at 9:01 pmCindy, things calm down?? I don’t think that’s Pogo’s plan the way we have been getting bombarded for the past year. LOL

Cindy4764 says
June 6, 2019 at 9:12 pmsirron, I hear ya. June seems very overloaded, so far July doesn’t but the month is early yet, lol.
PrairiesDweller says
June 6, 2019 at 8:42 pmHi 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.”
Cindy4764 says
June 6, 2019 at 9:04 pmNuttier 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.
JenE2001 says
June 5, 2019 at 8:04 pmThanks 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!
Lura says
June 5, 2019 at 8:11 pmThank you for sharing BadgeHungry! 💕
JenE2001 says
June 5, 2019 at 8:14 pmAbsolutely!!! Thank you for such an awesome site!
alfred burton says
June 5, 2019 at 8:11 pmFinally 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
PrairiesDweller says
June 5, 2019 at 10:40 pmWTG on the BT badge.🐥
The other badge is a Super Secret badge for filling a M&M album.
I also received some. My guess is it is for auto earned badges in the retired
Java games. The actual M&Ms have not been awarded yet.
Dan says
June 5, 2019 at 11:41 pmWe Are Pogo is one of the M&M completion badges:

Captiva007Pl says
June 5, 2019 at 9:59 pmOkay 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.
vashondude says
June 5, 2019 at 10:08 pmI finished the Bejeweled Twist challenge much faster (15 – 20 minutes) than I was expecting.
ultimatetreebe says
June 6, 2019 at 7:34 amThanks for the great tips for Bejeweled….just finished it….
shelnick9293 says
June 6, 2019 at 6:50 pmWell 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.
shelnick9293 says
June 7, 2019 at 8:14 amWe;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.
Catmom2004 says
June 8, 2019 at 1:39 pmEveryone 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.
Patricia says
June 8, 2019 at 3:53 pmWell…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…
FADEDWILDROSE says
June 8, 2019 at 8:37 pmI 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.
Patricia says
June 9, 2019 at 12:30 pmThank 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.
MomsBassetHound says
June 9, 2019 at 2:23 pmThe 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
Lizz says
June 8, 2019 at 9:36 pmOk I am up to level 10 If I get a fruit ..what do I do??? Match it or quit or what???
Debbie Dunlap says
June 10, 2019 at 1:54 amA 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!!
