How does the time meter with a bow in candy crush saga work? (bronce, silver and gold)

I play candy crush saga, and recently striped candies accompanied by a time meter with a bow started appearing. First it starts with a bronce bow, then a silver one and finally a gold one. At the end of all the bows a party booster appears. I would like to know how this feature works. I don't really get how to get to the party booster, could someone explain to me how this works?

Welcome! 👋

Hi @Charly-4, I played some new levels this morning and it just appeared with silver bows on it. But it's so random. I think it was on 3 levels and then gone again. I have no clue when it switches over to the party popper thing.

The meter drops after every move. You have to get the bows eliminated before the meter drops all the way. If you eliminate all of the green bows in time, the meter starts again for the pink bows, etc.

I haven't had this feature in several weeks. It was fun while it lasted.

My original question still stands though as to HOW MANY green do you have to collect before a color change. I collect every single one and only sometimes get a color change before the meter runs out. Sometimes a new color appears before I have even finished collecting the previous color and other times the next color never comes at all even though all green are collected. No rhyme nor reason to it. I think Elsa is looking into asking someone how the system works. The bows seem to appear for me every few days.

Thanks @Khaos for this information!

Hi guys, I am going to tag @Cezdiamond who is the Community Manager to see if she can ask the studio for more details about this challenge. I haven't checked if there is a specific amount that needs to be collected in order to advance to the next color.

@Matt_G, you are the first player saying that you saw the meter go down instead of up. I think I only got that challenge a couple of times but if I get it again I will have to look closer for more details.

I am with Monique_Szetho and Charly-4. I cannot figure out what makes them come about in the first place nor what specifically has to be done in order to progress to silver/gold. If they randomly appear that is fine but what get confusing for me is after I pop match them with like colors my bow meter actually seems to drop/move backwards making me think I've done something wrong. Do they have to be blasted away with a striped/exploding candy in order to progress on to silver/gold?

Charly-4

I always clear the bows before the time meter runs out but only sometimes does it give me the next color of bow (silver, gold.) Sometimes I will play a level 3 or more times and not have the bows turn silver and then the meter runs out and disappears. Whereas other times the silver bows pop up even before I've collected all of the bronze ones and then gold before the silver are gone. What gives? Sometimes I need to collect 9 or 12 bronze before they turn silver and other times only 5 or 6. There seems to be no consistency and I can't find an answer to this anywhere.

Candies with bows go from green to blue then purple and then pinata pops up. Have to be used on the same level. That is all I know as I don't get this candy bows at all.

Creative_Elsa

How are players getting the pinatas? I am not getting any!

Monique_Szetho

Some of my friends got this a few times lately. They get boosters and pinatas. One even got pinatas a few times. This seems so unfair when others have not even been chosen once. Please talk to someone at KING to spread the goodies around as Christmas will soon be here. Bring the good cheers to others too. Can't wait to see a few candies with bows wrapped around them on my board one dayl

Creative_Elsa

Hi @Monique_Szetho, I think it's just randomly chosen players. I got it exactly one time and then it was gone and hasn't come back. You can read more about this here: https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/246202/where-can-i-get-my-events#latest

Elsa: who gets chosen at random to get these bow ribbons? My friends are getting them but I have not seen hide or hair of any such ribbons. When is My turn coming up? Love to see some pop up when I am playing a level.

Hi @mariajesusbudge, this is what the Community Manager wrote about this.

“The Party Candies are coming to Candy Crush. Now you will find ribbons in some candies (beginning with bronze, moving to silver and finishing in gold). The theme is around a party celebration! Finding all wrapped gifts on the board and finishing the level will allow you to keep those boosters.

It begins with a bronze bow as part of the puzzle. Once the player removes the bow the bronze mode gets activated and from then on is a matter of removing the pieces that have a bronze ribbon to it. At a point, you activate silver mode (which is the reward you get from the bronze mode).

In silver mode, you can get three rewards that you can use immediately on the board + access to the gold mode.

The gold mode will give you a party booster that you can use on that board (you cannot save it for later).”
