1001 Crystal Mazes Collection is a jewel logic game in which a player pushes colorful crystals around a maze to their target destinations. The game gets more challenging with each level.

The player can choose from 1001 mazes. There is a coin with an image of a girl or a boy that shows a player's current position and can be moved using both a D-pad and a stylus (by touching arrows visible on the touchscreen). The player can push a crystal in front of them when they move. Only one element can be moved at a time and the positions of the walls cannot be changed. When a crystal is pushed in a corner or two of them are aligned next to each other alongside a wall, they can no longer be moved which causes the player to lose. [2]

The number of crystals visible on the screen is different in each maze. The simplest ones contain 3-4 elements, while in the most difficult mazes players have to move over 30 crystals.
