when I found out the reward it wasn’t a new character or a new outfit I feel so much relief, because I already missed my chance to get the pilgrim and leprechaun, haha
I was in the same boat as @mysticalmysty as I was waiting for new levels. No more waiting as level 861-880 are available now. I am 5 stars away from getting the bonus.
Prepare yourselves; We're about to reach the 900 levels in Candy Crush Friends!!
