Play Bejeweled Online
From LoveToKnow Online
You can play Bejeweled online at a number of websites. Depending on what you are in the mood to play, you can choose a basic game or a more complex game that takes up a little more of your time. Bejeweled has been around since 2001, when it was just a simple Flash game. Currently, there are two sequels, Bejeweled 2 and Bejeweled Twist. To play Bejeweled online, all you need is a web browser, a computer and a quick hand.
Play Bejeweled Online at Popcap
Want to play Bejeweled online? Then go right to the source. Popcap lets you play the game within your browser. If you don't really want to download the game or you only have a short time to play, this option may be right for you. The original Bejeweled--originally called Diamond Mines--and the sequel, Bejeweled 2, are available for you to play. They are the exact version you purchase for the computer, except the screens are smaller so they can fit into your browser. Since the games are free to play, you do have to sit through a quick commercial that runs about 15 seconds, but that's a small price to pay for free gameplay!
If you have an account with Facebook, then you can play Bejeweled Twist. You must add the application to play it, but the process is easy. Go to the Applications button and select "Browse more Applications." In the search box, type "Bejeweled Twist", then add the application. The version on Facebook is very similar to the full version except that you play one minute at a time in order to achieve a high score. On the right side of the screen is a leaderboard between you and your friends. Any of your friends who are playing Bejeweled are also listed on the board with their score. The listing is reset each week so get your score in early to be number one.
