There are still only 10 players per group? If that is so then wait!
I have started my first test game and there are 10 players in its group, no more seem to be added, so that would suggest that in Knockout round 2 there are still indefinite leaderboards being created, so if you want to conserve you crushing energies, wait to play and don't join any of the early groups just yet. My timer…

Why are the final knockout rounds lasting a full week without time to rest?
I know that King won't answer this here, but I'm just highlighting it: The three final knockout stages last a full week, starting from April 20th through to April 28th with only two meagre six hours breaks during the entire week. This is a mega endurance marathon! Why are these rounds so long? It encourages non stop…

What is it with these player cards? (And what is it with those keys?)
Now we can see player cards when competing in All Stars I thought this might be a great way to assess the competition. But what do I make of this one I'm competing against? How can a player at level 108 have completed 149 levels in the past seven days? And while I'm here, why haven't King fixed those keys yet? I've just…

Maths calculations for participant numbers
Is there anyone out there good at maths and can check if I get these numbers right? I posted similar calculations last year but of course all the All Stars posts have been deleted by King since. A lot of players get confused by the scale of the event and think they are almost there when there are millions still in the…

I'm bored with this already. Why are these qualifying rounds so long?
Is it even possible to NOT qualify for the knockout stages? There are only 10 players per leaderboard and the top five get through. By my maths that means half of all Candy Crush players go through to the next round. And the other half that didn't make it gets a second chance a week later… It's all too drawn out and…

How to make All Stars disappear from your game
I did this test to see if changing the settings on your device will make All Stars disappear. Before: After: Lesson: Don't turn back the clock! Not that there would be any reason to do so, of course. Just testing… I assume the other players will continue to see me, but of course my score won't increase, so this will give…

What score is possible in All Stars?
I am starting this thread to refer anyone to who later on in the competition complains about being beaten by a bot or cheater.

Will All Stars be fair to all players?
This is a question many will be asking once the tournament starts. There will be questions if certain players are at an advantage depending on their level range or which events they have. So assuming every player sticks to the Terms and Conditions and does not use any cheating as set out here: 4.6.1. Using or taking…

Mathematically impossible levels- deliberate or design error?
So my attention has been drawn to level 10489 over in the support forum. I have run some tests on it and come to the conclusion this one is, in its current form, mathematically impossible. The starting board is this: I will run through my proof in my next post in this thread.

Is level difficulty affected by events e.g. Candy Royale?
Is anyone finding that as soon as Candy Royale shows up in their games levels get harder to beat? I am playing two separate games at exactly the same episode at the moment. In both games the starting boards are identical and the level rating is the same. But on my iPhone I had Candy Royale pop up today, on the iPad just…

Bash for bars
This event we all love showed up in two of my games today: Unfortunately my third game (the one that really needs the gold!) has not got this event. I have played a few previous levels to try to trigger events (and Season Pass came up as expected) but I did not want to start a new episode today. Can anyone tell me if it…

What are those levels 15,000 -16,000+ really like to play?
I need some advice from my community friends here. I have an as yet unsaved game on my phone which I started in January. Originally I'd planned to use it to test out how far I can get in All Stars with it but I cannot play the knock-out stages due to the timings, and anyway I still have my iPad game for that. So I am…

Candy Royale caught in the act
There is nothing like a Monday morning to test things out: I still had the offer to start the grand special triple Candy Royale this morning at a quarter to nine UK time. Here are my screenshots. At 8.59 am I turned off Wifi, just to be on the safe side. Candy Royale continues without Internet, throwing random players out…

Testing, testing.....Comparing different events for different players
I have three well established games now and am trying to work out who gets what events and if they are a fair match. The events that I think every player gets I do not mention here: These are Booster Wheel, Daily Treat Machine, Chocolate Box, Daily Win ,Weekly Contest, and the Episode/Champions Race All of my games also…
