Emily Jones is working at the Archaeological Museum.

The discovery of an ancient stone tablet in the museum sparks her interest.

She ultimately concludes that solving tile-matching puzzles will lead her to a secret Aztec city.

Emily's journal acts as a record of her findings, and newspaper articles and other documents keep the story moving along at a preset pace.

The objective during the tile matching games is to collect all of the sparkling gems in a level before the time runs out on the ticking pocket watch.

The number needed for the level is displayed above the main grid.

Swap one stone at a time by choosing a pair, which trade places with a click, slowly eliminating all those which contain gemstones.

The entire board can be shuffled twice and hints can be purchased for the cost of points.

The number of gems needed to clear a stage increases by increments of five for each level, maxing out at 200.

Therefore, the player needs to work much faster and wiser in later levels to get all of the gems.

Luckily there are power-ups that are activated with the golden stars earned when each level is solved.

Aztec statue totems in six colors and other modifiers take action in the level when two identical color tile matches are done by the player.

The Fire Totem (red) bombs bunches of tiles, for example, while the Time Totem (orange) adds time to the countdown clock.

There are also timed mini-games sprinkled throughout the game which provide more opportunities to earn gold stars.

Those include a simple "accuracy challenge" (click on stars that fly across the screen), and concentration (find two matching tiles) as well as others.

The game has five chapters and 41 total levels.

After completing the game once in Adventure mode, the Hard mode becomes available with high

About PlayStation 3

Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.

Gamevaro tracks The Treasures Of Montezuma for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding The Treasures Of Montezuma to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2006.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
