Best Of

Before the hearts take over tomorrow… We just wanted to say something simple today…

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Every match you make
Makes this community bloom too 🌸

Whether you're switching candies on Level 25
Or battling it out in the 15,000s,
You’re the reason this place feels special.

Thank you for your tips.
Your feedback.
Your celebrations.
Even your “why is this level so hard?” moments. We see you 😉

Wishing you a sweet Valentine’s Day filled with joy, fun… and maybe a lucky cascade or two 💕

Your Candy Crush Saga Community Team 🤩

Hey everyone 👋
Quick bit of good news I wanted to share.

We believe an issue that caused some rounds or events to end too early (for example dragons/sprinks not being collected before the end screen appeared) has now been fixed. The change is live in game version 1.317.

Hopefully this means things should behave as expected now, but I’d really appreciate a heads-up if you happen to see players still reporting things like:

• Dragons/Sprinks not being collected
• Rounds or events ending too soon
• End screens appearing before everything on the board has finished

Thanks so much for keeping an eye out 😉

(edit October 2025)

If you are a long standing player of Candy Crush like me and find that you have hit a wall with level after level impossible to pass, then that is probably because you have hit a wall deliberately put in the game to make long standing players spend all their saved up gold bars and boosters.

The worst such wall is at the last two thousand levels of the game: Anyone who has made it this far and never spent any money on the game is a lost cause to King, not a valued customer. So they make it impossible to get to the end of the map for anyone who does not have a good stash of thousands of gold bars saved up. Anyone else will have to spend hundreds of real life dollars to keep playing.

These are my best tips from my own playing experiences.

Choose one of the following options:

• Forget about Candy Crush and have fun doing something else with your spare time

• Delete the app. Reinstall the app. Play a new game starting at level 1. You may find that the game has changed a lot since you played the early levels, and some of them are harder to pass than you might expect, so do check my tips here:
  https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/510797/tips-for-anyone-starting-a-new-account-how-to-play-candy-crush-from-the-beginning

• If you enjoy the new game then great: Keep going and save the game using a different email or login method from your previous game.

• If instead you want to get back to your saved King account, you must not save this new game. Ignore the prompts to save your progress and play until you have made enough boosters and gold to help you back on your feet. You MUST turn your gold into boosters before logging into your existing account, since gold bars cannot be transferred, but boosters are stored on your device so will transfer. Buy boosters with any gold you have, using your inventory. Then use the "log in with email" option at the bottom of this screen to get back to your previously saved game with the boosters you earned in the new game:

• Other options are:

• Give the game a long break. I mean several weeks. If you are breaking for a long period two things are likely to happen: King will make that level range easier to pass generally. They will do this if too many players quit or are stuck at a certain level range. They also make the last 2000 levels of the game harder to pass than all other levels, so if you pause to fall back behind this wall you might find the game is more enjoyable again. King will give players a welcome back reward after they have been absent from the game for a long time. You might get a large number of extra moves to help and some boosters, for example.

• Take a definitive break from playing new levels but log in daily to collect boosters from the daily wheel, daily treat machine, use old levels to complete any event that still lets you gain boosters from replayed old levels. The old Season Pass works for this, though the new version does not. There are some chocolate boxes you can get boosters and gold from older levels if you choose the correct options. If you have ads there may be events like Sweet Cinema to give you boosters for watching ads. Don't be tempted to waste these on new levels for a few weeks, not until you have gathered a bucketful of boosters. Then try playing one new episode through using your saved up boosters to pass the trickiest levels. It should help you win the episode race gold and may help you back on a winning track. Try playing no more than one episode in 24 hours, as that seems to be the most efficient speed to stay afloat with boosters and gold

As we reach the end of the year, the Candy Crush Team wanted to share a small thank you with you. Every day in this community, we see your passion, your ideas, and the way you support each other. You help make this space what it is.

This note below is simply a moment to look back at some of the things you were part of this year. You gave feedback on Pins and helped us make them clearer. You shared your thoughts on the Fish update, and your reports made a real difference. And many of you shared ideas for Level 20 000, which helped inspire how it turned out.

These are only a few examples, but they show how your voice helps guide us. We also know there are still areas that need improvement. There are features that you want us to look at, and things you want to see fixed or changed. We continue to send your feedback to the teams, and your comments help us focus on what matters most.

For now, we hope you enjoy this note from the Candy Crush Team.
Thank you for being with us, for playing, for sharing, and for being part of this journey 💛

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re unwrapping your sweet wins from the year. We want to reflect on what has been a fantastic year for Candy Crush and the role you’ve played in that.

This message is a heartfelt thank you to you, our players, as we close out an incredible year. Your feedback, creativity, and support have shaped the game in meaningful ways, from inspiring new features to making key moments even more memorable.

Here are just a few of the ways you helped made the game better this year:

You helped fix the Fish.

When you told us that Fish boosters weren’t targeting blockers the way they should, we listened. The updated Fish now prioritize tricky blockers like Toffee Swirls and interact more intelligently with special Candies. The results have made levels more satisfying and strategic to play.

You shaped the Pins system.

Your feedback helped us simplify how Pins are earned. Thanks to that, Pins have become one of the most loved features in the game. All your comments and interactions help us, so please keep coming to us with new ideas.

You gave us design feedback for Level 20,000.

You supported  this important level, and we listened to your ideas about how you wanted it to look and feel. 70 of you shared your thoughts, and feedback. You left your candy-coated fingerprints all over this one. Thank you!

You guide us each week.

Your feedback shapes improvements to level difficulty and game balance. Your comments, bug reports, and ideas go straight to our design teams. We know not all levels feel perfect, but your feedback helps us make them better week after week.

You made the Candy community what it is.

This year, we’ve seen more collaboration, support, and kindness than ever before. From tips and encouragement to shared moments during tournaments, you made Candy more than a game, you made it a community. We see you, the fan who brings Denize the dragon to life every season, the one who celebrates the Candy Frog with pure joy, and the members who are always there to help others when they’re struggling or need support.

As we look ahead to 2026, our focus is on giving you more of what you love. We’re creating new features, growing our events, and polishing the whole experience so your time in the game keeps getting better. And your voice will continue to guide us as we go.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We’re so proud to build this world with you, let’s keep Making the World Playful.
