How to play against friends

Playing against your friends is easy! Anyone in your friends list who plays Bejeweled Blitz will show up on the leaderboard to the right of the game. If there is a friend you want to play against who has yet to discover Bejeweled Blitz you can invite them to play by clicking the Invite Friends button in the Bejeweled Blitz header. Simply click the friend(s) you would like to invite and press the Send Bejeweled Blitz Invitation button.

Note: You can only see 49 of your top scoring friends (plus yourself) on the leaderboards.

How is my team score calculated?

Your Team Score is a combination of all the scores on your leaderboard. Your high score counts twice when added to the total score. Your Team Score is unique to you since everyone has a unique friends list.

Note: If you win the drawing, you are the only winner. Your friends do not share in your winnings. The same holds true if someone on your friends list wins a drawing. This drawing encompasses all qualifying players.

How to Smack Talk

You can send Smack Talk to anyone on your leaderboard by pressing the Smack Talk button to the right of your friend’s name (Blue diamond). A Jewel Jabber window will be displayed where you can enter your own Smack Talk or let us do the talking with one of the default messages.

Note: You can scroll through different smack-talking jewels with the arrow buttons located under the jewel avatar on the left side of the Jewel Jabber window. Also note that your diamond will be grayed out as there is no need to send yourself Smack Talk.

What about cheaters?

We take cheating seriously and are taking steps to make Bejeweled Blitz more secure, but due to the nature of online games, it will always be possible for truly determined players to find a way to cheat. But the overwhelming majority of our players play the game as intended, and earn their scores fairly. If you have a friend on your leaderboard that cheats, perhaps that says something about your friend?

Also keep in mind that if another player cheats, it does not affect your chances to win our contest in any way. Our contest is based on a drawing, and is NOT a competition. If there are players out there with higher team scores than you, they are no more likely to win the contest than you are. In fact, players with scores that were obviously obtained via cheating will be disqualified from the contest.
