Note: I was compensated for my work on this campaign. All opinions are my own.
I work late at night, so sometimes it can be hard to get my mind to shut off at bedtime. I like to do something soothing to quiet my thoughts, like read a book or play an easy but fun game on my phone. I recently downloaded Jade Monkey, an arcade game, and it’s so fun I’ve caught myself playing it outside of bedtime, too!
When you first begin playing Jade Monkey, you can choose between Arcade Mode & Zen Mode. Arcade Mode gives you one minute to get as many matches as possible, which is a great option if you’re trying to set a time limit on your play time {like I do when I’m trying to go to sleep} or if you’re extra competitive. Zen Mode allows you to play without a time limit, which is great for general play and in particular, for little ones!
You play the game by making matches of 3 or more of a jewel. You simply swipe the gems already on the board to make a match of three in a row horizontally or vertically. If you work fast enough, you can even unlock power-ups!
The game is not only entertaining but even educational. Shane loves playing it & I encourage him to sometimes because it helps him recognize patterns.

How do you quiet your mind at night?
This really is a great way to recognize patterns! Looks like fun!
reminds me a bit of candy crush. cute though!
We love games like this! Even my little toddler son knows how to make little matches and loves to play.
Those kind of matching games are endlessly entertaining for me!
I wish these games weren’t so addictive 😉 I can’t play them before bed, because I always want to do “just one more level” LOL. To wind down I usually read.
this is sooo candy crush! that game is annoying but addicting!
game looks a lot like bejeweled and lots of other similar games out there. i love these types of game so it should be fun to play for me.
This game looks very addicting. Oh no… her we go… got to download!
I love that games are so educational now! Patterns, logic. . .Even simple games like this are helping them learn skills that they will need!
Looks like a fun game! I think I would enjoy playing it myself before i fall asleep since I too, can’t shut my mind off. I love how educational games are these days! Thank you for sharing.
This looks like something my kids would play. My daughter is obsessed with games like this were you have to match things. It does look like fun. But not before bed. I would never go to sleep.
It looks fun, I never heard of it before so I appreciate the review
My kids love to play games on my phone, and this looks like fun!!
I’ve actually never played those kind of matching games as I’m afraid I’d get hooked. This one looks like it could hook me.
I see I wasn’t in the first 10 to comment. Have to check it out.
Super cute and we just love when they’re super affordable too! M is obsessed with the iPad 🙂
Looks like a really cute game.
