While it’s seen many iterations since its original version,Geometry Dashhas managed to remain one of the most frustrating games around. If the challenge of completing levels wasn’t enough, players can also collect resources like diamonds, which can be used to unlock secrets inside the game.

While there are several different ways to collect diamonds, many of them require hard work and repeating some of the hardest levels for dozens of attempts. However, if you put in the time, you’ll be rewarded with a rare resource.

The small chest is available every four hours, and the large chest is available after 24 hours. They’reselectable from the ‘Daily’ iconon the main menu.

Finish Daily Quests

For those who like having a benchmark to aim for,thedaily quests allow players to earn a pre-determined amount of diamonds. The quests seem to be heavilyfocused on collecting resources, meaning players mustplay several levels each day to get them all.

These rewards aren’t extravagant, but they’ll help you slowly add to your total with more diamonds than you could typically get from a chest.

Gauntlets are the predecessor to the mobile release, Geometry Dash World. These levels, which the developer or official player contests can create, allow you tocomplete five levels on a paththat gets increasingly difficult.

When you complete all five levels,you’ll be awarded a large chestwith diamonds. There arecurrently 19 gauntletsin the game, witha total of 95 levels to complete.
