Hello Community Crew!

The Community is a great place to get to know each other, but what about knowing the people behind the magic of the Kingdom?

We thought it would be a great idea toย share some of the personalities from behind the scenesย andย meet fantastic Kingsters!ย ย 

These are theย minds that create all this delicious universe:ย From Game Artists, Level Designers, Content Specialists, Game Producers and Customer Support Agents - all of them are included, so come and meet the team.

This week, we sat down withย @CandyCrushinator, our talented Game Designer for Candy Crush Friendsย and here is what we got to know! Please come and say hi!



"Hello Everyone Iโ€™m a Senior Game Designer on Candy Crush Friends Saga!ย ย 

Itโ€™s my job to ensure that you all have fun playing the game.ย  The designer is the advocate of the player, if Iโ€™m doing my job right then youโ€™re having fun.ย  So basically itโ€™s the best job that you can haveย ๐Ÿ˜Š โ€ฆperhaps Iโ€™m biased thoughโ€ฆย  I have worked on a bunch of features that you may have seen including the Yeti Santa, Nutcracker King of Hearts, Olivia and Bubblegum Troll events.ย  I also work on our โ€œcollectionโ€ team trying to make sure that your candy surprises and everything related to them are as sweet as possible".

  • Tell us 3 funny things about yourself
. I was the voice actor for a 15 year old cartoon pilot of a mechanical lion when I was 28 years old

. Iโ€™m an extrovert in a studio and country full of introverts but Iโ€™m going to slowly convert them all to my hyperactive ways

. When I was 5 years old I liked to climb a lotโ€ฆbut I wasnโ€™t so good at climbing down, so I would jump.ย  I went to the ER 4 times in 4 weeks that summer.ย  When my mom went in a few days after I was in there for the 4thย time to get something that we had accidentally left there.ย  All of the nurses said hi and asked how I was doingโ€ฆ


  • If you were a King game, which one would you be?ย If I was a game at King game I would be Candy Crush Friends Saga of course because Iโ€™m sweeter than ever!
  • If you were a candy?ย I would be a chocolate covered pretzel.ย  The perfect combination of sweet and salty
  • If you were a game character?ย I would be Oliviaโ€ฆwith far fewer tentacles.ย  Iโ€™m always trying to help people that are in a jam.
  • If you were a video game?ย I would be "Octodad 2: Dadliest Catch" because deep down Iโ€™m an octopus trying to be a father.
  • What's your favourite food?ย My favorite food is Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza.

  • Is there something that you would like to tell our players?

We work hard to make the game as fun as possible and while we do read the forums we canโ€™t always act on feedback right away because thereโ€™s so much to do.ย  So keep calm and candy on!
