Each successful match gives you either two irons, Shiny, or other rewards like furniture and music. Iron is by far the most common prize you’ll get from this, letting you get upward of eight to ten with one Game Ticket if you get lucky with your matches. Even if you don’t find any matches right away, the puzzle won’t reset, letting you memorize their locations and create some chains.

The Gemstone Match House is a fantastic way to get iron quickly if you have enough Game Tickets to play a few rounds. Game Tickets also spawn on the ground daily, so you’re able to grab more the next day if you run out.
