Gem Jam

*A plague has swept this era.*This article is about something that is no longer available. Therefore, it is archived.
*Gem Jam* was an Epic Quest in *Plants vs. Zombies 2* introduced in the 4.6.1 update. When the player completes 10 steps, they will get 50 gems. **Gem Jam 2** was put into the game in the 5.8.1 update, which now sets the gems prize to 60 gems. The steps were the same, however. Many of the levels are remixed Brain Busters from each world. It was followed by **Gem Jam 3**, which replayed the first day of each world with a prize of 50 gems and **Gem Jam 4**, which requires you to defeat Gargantuars with a prize of 75 gems.

In the 6.1.1 update, all Gem Jam quests were removed

**Gem Jam 5** came on 16 May, 2018 as per this Twitter poll, and its steps are the same levels from Gem Jam 1 and Gem Jam 2.
