Gem Match
Gem Match is a mini game located in a building on 
Gemstone Mountain, to the right of the 
Dance Hall and above the 
Gemstone Town mailbox.
Paying one 
Game Ticket to the 
Nul opens the door to the Gem Match room. Once the player enters the room, they can activate any of the 12 
crystals that are placed on a 4×3 grid, which will turn one of the following colors: red, yellow, sky blue, green, or purple. Then, they must activate another crystal, attempting to choose a match to the previously activated crystal (There are always 2 crystals of every color except for green, which has 4).
Matching a set of 2 crystals earns a basic reward and keeps the crystals lit. Failing to match earns nothing and causes the pair to turn back off. If all crystals are lit, the player wins a better prize.
If the player fails to activate a matched set of crystals twice, the current game ends, and they must pay another Game Ticket to continue again. The crystals that were matched correctly during a previous round will stay lit for the next round. Once the player has found all of the correct matches, all of the crystals will be reset. The player can continue to make matches after the game resets, until they run out of tries. [1]
"Two turns for one Game Ticket. Each match gives you a free turn!"
Tips for Winning Gem Match
Colors on an unmatched pair vanish roughly 1 second after a second gem is guessed, so memorization is key to winning the game.
If you have a difficult time remembering the color order of the crystals, take notes outside of the game. It can be especially helpful to take notes of what crystals are what colors if you do not have enough tickets to finish a room, so you will have them when you continue playing another day. (Your progress is maintained between days.) Some players take notes by writing down the color name or initial in a grid, while others use image-editing software to mark the colors onto an image.
It may also help to play in a systematic way. For example, start with the top left crystal, go crystal by crystal to the right, start the next row, and repeat. If you move erratically between crystals, it is easier to lose track of where you spotted what color.

- In version 1.8, the gems gained more distinct colors to assist with players with visual impairments or colorblindness.
- In version 1.9, the gems were changed to be much wider and to have additional icons on top of them to make them even more accessible.
- After having paid one Game Ticket, the player can walk out of the building again, and can later return to the building and see that the door is still open and the Nul does not charge a second Game Ticket. This state will even carry over between closing and relaunching the game. The exception is if the player gets one missed pair in the room and then walks out of the building without a second missed pair, in which case the door will be closed on re-entry and the match grid will have been reset.
