Gem Maze sends a little explorer into five original hedge mazes full of sparkling gems. Four beetles roam the paths, and each has its own personality: the red Chaser takes the shortest path to you, the pink Ambusher cuts you off, the teal Wanderer turns at random and the orange Patroller hugs the walls until you get close. Grab a big pink gem to scare them — then catch them for bonus points before they recover.
How to play Gem Maze
Goal: Collect every gem in all five mazes without losing all three lives.
Keyboard & mouse
- Arrow keys or WASD steer — press a direction early to turn at the next gap
- P or Escape to pause
Phone & tablet
- Swipe in the direction you want to go (or swipe and hold)
- Turns happen as soon as there is a gap
Rules
- Steer through the maze; every gem you pass is collected (10 points).
- Touching a beetle costs a life. They each move differently — learn their habits.
- A big pink power gem (50 points) scares the beetles for a few seconds: catch them for 200, 400, 800 and 1600.
- Caught beetles return to their start after a short while.
- Clear every gem to finish the maze. Stars: no lives lost 3★, one lost 2★.
Tips and strategy
- Press your next direction before you reach the junction to turn smoothly.
- The Chaser is fastest — keep corners between you.
- Save power gems for when beetles are close, then turn and catch them.
