Depending on the player's progress, they'll receive a Star Medal. The Last Hurrah bonus would then be added to the player's subtotal, which gives them the grand total for the game. When that happens, any Special gems and Multipliers would be removed from the board. After one minute, players would receive an end-of-game bonus known as the Last Hurrah.

If a Multiplier is matched with two other gems, then the point value would increase as the game progresses, starting from 2x. During Blazing Speed, the playing field would burn and every match made would explode and destroy surrounding gems (similar to a Flame Gem). If they are fast enough and when the meter is full, then a special ability would occur known as Blazing Speed. Players would earn a base value of 250 points for each match and if players matched the gems quickly enough three times, they'll earn a Speed Bonus, which adds the bonus to the base starting with 200, and continuing on until 1,000 for nine speed matches, which unlocks the Ignition Meter. Special gems can be created by making matches of four or more. When a match is made, the matched gems disappear and more gems fall into the board from above. Players make lines of three by swapping gems with adjacent gems. The main game screen is an 8 x 8 grid of gems. Players can equip boosts (which required coins to use until the redesign boosts are now free to use) to gain power-ups for use in-game, and Rare Gems, special power-ups that can change gameplay (for example, explosive gems, gems that destroy other gems diagonally, etc.).

By connecting with Facebook, players can compete with others for a high score on leaderboards. The goal of Bejeweled Blitz is to match gems and Multipliers in order to get the highest score possible in one minute. The layout shown was used until the game's redesign.
