I played it once, a while ago. It's pretty fun, I guess.

No, played a bit but it just got boring to me.

My grandmother won't put it down though and it's annoying. The constant blinking and loud bursts every time you get however many in a row get very irritating when that's all you hear at 5 in the morning.

I have it on my cellphone, and yeah this is a bit TMI, but it's the perfect time waster while sitting on the toilet.

 

[Nivag the Owl]

Yeah, it's pretty time consuming (in a good way (occasionally)).

 

[HK_01]

Didn't get around to playing it yet.

played it a bit but then got bored..

I did, until I realized it wasn't actually a game, it was just a visual exercise that ended after a random amount of time, and then ranked you on how long you randomly lasted. I mean supposedly people are capable of using some kind of strategy in that game, but that requires a level of planning bordering on precognition.

I played Bejeweled when it was called Puzzle Quest. I finished it and moved on.

Not long ago, the entire household would play it on our iPhones and iPod Touch's. There's something satisfying about competing against the family when everyone takes it half-heartedly and just enjoys themselves, trying to top each other.

I bought it on steam a couple years ago. It was pretty fun but its not something I play constantly.

Needs an "I used to, then I discovered REAL games" option.

I used to, but then I discovered real games.

 

[Simalacrum]

I played it once on a plane... that was about it.

 

[Alar]

I think I've played it at one point, but I don't remember when that would be. I haven't played it since.

 

[Spiner909]

It's sort of fun, but there are a million other games like it.

 

[Kollega]

Nope. Tried it once, but it wasn't exactly "the shit".

 

[DazZ.]

I had it installed as a WoW addon, and played it during flights/Dungeon setups.

But then I got the Peggle WoW addon and never touched Bejeweled again.

Needs an "I used to, then I discovered REAL games" option.

Time for a joke!

Spoiler: What two things can be found in every crowd?

Take a guess, it's not hard to figure out.

Yes, I've played it. It was fun, but I never found any lasting appeal.

It's a Great little background game to have whilst working.
