Gems

Gems are the premium currency in Hungry Shark Evolution. They can be earned in a number of ways, but are quite rare.

Generally, the conversion rate between coins and gems is gem = 100000 coins (note that you currently cannot convert coins into gems or vice-versa). However, for substantial sums of gems/coins, the value of a gem increases

Earning Gems[]

There are a few methods to earn gems: Just note that gem collecting has been nerfed recently and some of these methods might not work.

  • Watching advertisements

You can watch an advertisement typically between 15-30 seconds in length. This rewards you with one gem. This feature is not available for some devices.

Occasionally, when you are destroying Small Fishing Boats, you will receive a gem. You can only destroy Small Fishing Boats with Megalodon or higher

Sometimes, when you eat a Paraglider, you will receive one gem. This can be done with any shark, but it is quite difficult to catch a Paraglider with the Reef Shark without a Jetpack.

Like Small Fishing Boats and Paragliders, Harpoon Men sometimes yield gems when eaten.

  • Eating Gemfish and certain other prey

Eating a Gemfish always yields one gem and restores your energy by 200 health points. Exotic Birds, Shark Finner Boats, Shark Men, and the King Of Summer can occasionally give gems.

The Daily Bonus rewards you 10 gems on the fifth consecutive day that you receive the bonus and 20 gems on the seventh consecutive day.

  • "Liking" the Hungry Shark Evolution page on Facebook

"Liking" the Hungry Shark Evolution Facebook page rewards you with five gems.

  • Purchasing Gems

The fastest way to earn gems is to purchase them with real money. This method is somewhat expensive but is the fastest and easiest method of earning gems.

  • Eating a Giant Crab

Giant crabs will drop from 0-5 gems, depending on which crab you are eating.

Occasionally, a sunken treasure may yield a gem.

  • Logging in to the game
  • When Hungry Shark Evolution is left idle for a few days in a row (meaning that you do not play the game for several days), a notification from the game will appear (Your shark is hungry! Come back and feed him and claim x gems reward!). By signing into the game as soon as you receive the notification, you will receive the said number of gems. Initially, the first notification will not reward any gems. The following notification will offer 3 gems, and the next will offer 5.
  • Playing the "Keepy Uppy" game
  • Eating people in shark cages

Uses[]

Gems can be used for many things:

  • Unlocking sharks
  • Reviving your shark ( 0 gem is used, then it doubles each time, and then they are disabled to use)
  • Unlocking items and accessories
  • Purchasing maps, save for the Basic Map.
  • Unlocking baby sharks

Trivia[]

  • During a Gold Rush, Paragliders, Harpoon Men, Tropical Birds and Fishing Boats, (which do not turn golden), have a 0% chance of yielding gems.
  • As the Big Daddy And Above have the broadest diets in Hungry Shark Evolution, they are the best choice for earning gems since they are able to eat all varieties of potential gem-yielding creatures with ease.
  • Since Update 3.4.0, destroying an Enemy Robo Shark in outer space almost always yields a gem, and even destroying bi-planes can, in rare occasions, yield multiple gems.
