Opponents on live leaderboards: random or fixed? Real or fake?
For one reason or another I have hardly played Candy Crush in the past two weeks. This has lead to some interesting discoveries as prize palooza shows up. My theory is that we are each given bespoke opponents by the game to match our own activity. So having been inactive in all my accounts I should be seeing easier…

Please remove the misleading "green button" features from the game!
This is my plea to stop the deliberate inclusion of certain features in the game, which quite frankly take advantage of any player who: plays in a rush is distracted and not paying attention to their game has difficulties understanding complex language or lacks good English skills (many players in Asia play in English but…

New: useless hints
I have noticed today that game hints have become simplified and follow a strict hierarchy. This must be a new change as I am sure I would have noticed this before. It seems to be so in all of my games. The pattern the hints follow is: a combo of two special candies firing off a special candy creating a special candy some…

January 2026 Winter Cup finals experience
I was taking a nostalgic tour into past Winter Cup threads and it saddens me how the game has changed. There were over 500 posts in 2023/24 and such a bustle of enthusiasm. Those were the days when players still had control over their achievements and strategies gave us control. Then I came across this thread from a year…

Prize draw
This popped up in my game just now: Ten thousand gold bars for one player? Do I read that right? Does this mean that the 200 gold limit won't be implemented and that players with huge gold reserves are now going to be tolerated by the game?

Multiplier tokens in Winter Cup: A theory
I am playing four accounts in the 1st knockout round, one of them has the multiplier tokens. As it's been Christmas family time I only started playing the round on Sunday on one account and Monday on the other three accounts.

How does Spearmint Snowstorm work? What are the mechanics to release the sprinks?
I find this event confusing and am not sure if it following any rules. Please could someone clarify what makes the sprinks come out of their icy cages and if this event is actually functioning the way it is meant to?

I can't believe they are offering this:
Wow guys, this is one offer that has swiped me off my feet: Timed party poppers for gold bars…… it's a dream come true isn't it? I hope it stacks. That would be a nice one to have during the finals of a live leaderboard event. If this works they've gone completely mad now. It may be a great offer for some of us (I LOVE…
