Jane’s father never came back from his endless search for the fabled city of Shangri La. In Mac match 3 game Tibet Quest Jane goes looking for her pertinacious parent who believed in the existence of a mythical paradise where you live a long, healthy and happy life.

The match play is a little different from other match 3 games. The board scrolls across the screen when Jane’s path is cleared by making matches of 3 or more of the same items to clear. You follow her path through locked entrances by matching keys to fill the orb at the bottom of the screen. Also you match bridges in order to cross over to another grid or collect machetes so she can chop the bushes to clear her way. Look for the jugs of water to put the fire out and use the drill to blast your way through stone. There are tasks Jane must perform to help the Dalai Lama on her path to find her father. You recover stolen artifacts and rebuild a ruined temple.

The blocks and power-ups are all intertwined in the play and there are many different things to keep you busy. The glass tiles need 3 identical items above to crack to get by those obstacles.

The jigsaw puzzles present views of where you are and where you are going. The puzzles are fairly easy to do, and you can use the picture as your desktop background by going into wallpaper in the menu.

Tibet Quest is easy at the beginning but increases in difficulty later. With no option to play untimed, you are challenged to finish each level. The artwork looks as if it is made for young children but may be more for experienced matchers. There’s lot to do in this match game so you better start trekking through the jungles and tough terrain to find your Shangri La.
