No race between levels 17211 and 17225 and again between levels 17226 and 17240; is this new? There is no way to win gold bars for those that don’t spend money on the game.
Hi everyone,
Thank you for your patience.
The team is still working on fixing the Episode Race issue, and we understand how frustrating this has been. We don’t have an exact timeline yet, but rest assured that we’re doing everything we can to resolve it as quickly as possible.
We'll keep you updated here with any new information.
Thank you again for your understanding! Hang in there 😊
Hi everyone!
We’re currently experiencing an issue with the Episode Race! If you're affected, you might receive a pop-up about a new race, but that race is not starting.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused. The good news is that the clever people in our studio are already hard at work on a fix. Sit tight, we’re doing our best to get the Episode Race back to your game!
We’ll keep you updated in this thread and thank you for your patience.
We’ll get this problem fixed as soon as we can 😉
Hello @PummyRaj I had the same issue at the end of those episodes near the end of the map. In my game it alternates from either the episode race not showing up at all and having the moving target (the flag shows up and we are promised that the race will start with the next level, but it never happens) . The moving target was present for two episodes and then the flag disappeared again. I have since given up playing at the top of the game as this is not possible without gold from the race. This fault appears to be linked to being near the end of Candy Crush.
It was discussed here:
Thank you @runovercat🤗
I sent these details and the screenshots to our Community In-charge. I will get back to you if I have any update!
iphone 14 device current ios. game version 1.285.0.1 updated 5 days ago. problem started a couple of days before i updated to try to correct problem.
@Alienscar, this is very helpful to know. Thanks so much for the additional information. Since this has been identified as a long standing problem, it would be nice to think that the developers are working on solutions.
Hi everyone and Happy Friday 🤩
I wanted to let you know that I have passed on your feedback as well as your game ID so the team can investigate further.
We suspect that the reason could be that there are not enough recordings of other players to start the Race but team is going to take a closer look at this 👍
I'll keep you all updated once I know more,
Thank you all for your patience and I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience caused!
I find it all very strange @christinewupp I've had it happen a few times in the past, but a long time ago, and I didn't believe it was because there wasn't enough recordings of other players either. Think it's more to do with them keep messing around with the system, doing lots of different things, for example adding Yeti's with a bun one end and a stick the other 🤭 They need to stop messing around and concentrate on keeping things simple, oh and add a ⬇️ feature 🤞
I would like to add my own experience to this thread also and I'm not sure the statement that we lose the episode race because there are not enough recordings of other players can be the answer here.
I play on mobile only and I used to reliably get the episode race last time I was at the rainbow end (that is before I gave up at 15,000 when the levels got too boring). After I restarted playing I had the episode race and I was at the top of the game for several weeks until it suddenly disappeared three weeks ago. As we are always two weeks behind Windows players I cannot see how a lack of data from other players can be the issue here, King are finding excuses if that is the reason they give. Since the episode race is a timed event the other players are irrelevant anyway and King could pit us all against the same four players. If @Carol-38 gets the episode race then so should I and everyone else playing on mobile. However, as this does only seem to be an issue for players at the top of the map it probably is related to this somehow, so I will follow your advice @Boybinary and wait. I might play a few old episodes to gather boosters and start the episode race in a brand new game after reinstalling, then log in to my game and see what I find. In the meantime I have two other games to amuse myself with.
Thanks for all those lives @cookiemae ! I do use them, so do appreciate your generosity. But if like me you find that all that mouse clicking and swiping is hard on our aging joints then better lay off a bit. You'll need those joints for next year's All Stars!

I do have a very short friends list. Under 20 on my main that includes you and 5 others from here. My other game have 5 friends so it's not that hard..
Not at all! I personally don't use them because I rarely lose a life only if the game glitches!I have been retired since 2006 myself, I guess I am not as thoughtful as you!
On the lives I have been retired for over 10 years so I don't mind spending an hour giving lives. I do the same as everyone else open and close the game. I used to play on Facebook it really had a lot of issues so now I only play on Windows for my main game and my tablet on the second game. Am I sending to many lives?
I just started doing that in February, I had no gold, now I have about14.5 K just from episode and a few top that but that got old quick! On another note, how do you give so many lives? did you write a script or is it a Facebook thing?
@Boybinary Yup I did that. I didn't do any new levels for 2 weeks. Guess that wasn't long enough. I will give it another try.
That is why I have been hanging back a few episodes and I only play now if the race is available, they try to trick you with that fake start the race flag but if you wait it out eventually it will start!
Hello @dumbledore no what you are experiencing isn't new and the stop/start nature of the Episode Race is a common complaint amongst those players at the end of the map and had been since the release of level 10,000.
My guess is that because you are near to the end of the map and because so few people have completed the Episode that you are in the Episode Race can't work. This is because the Episode Race is a record of how quickly people have completed Episodes rather than being a live race.
@QueenB the issue of the 'flag' appearing and then the Race not starting has been an issue since at least 2021
That's grim @dumbledore . These levels are too difficult to do without some gold bars. I was making some from the gold chocolate box, but it's not enough for one full episode. We do need the episode race to play without spending a fortune. So without it, I am out.
@christinewupp - so sorry to hear this. I have been stuck on 17242 for a few days, no episode rewards in sight and only 4 gold bars. 😩
Right guys, this is it:
I just about managed to scrape through this week's new levels without the episode race but will not be able to proceed any further. This is my finishing board:
As I have no boosters to speak of left I will uninstall the app and reinstall next Wednesday to see if that fixes the problem. If not then the rainbow end is not for me.
@QueenB, would it also be possible to check my game? Not sure what information you need from me, but no episode race once level 17211 completed, nor once level 17226 completed Both were promised by the flag on the game board. I appreciate any help you can facilitate.
Hello @dumbledore Yes I do have the same problem. I have also lost my episode race at the end of the map. This is a problem that has been reported in the past as well. Maybe @QueenB can help you with this but would probably need to know your player ID.

ok so this looks like the problem dates back until at least Aug 23, and you haven’t been able to fix it yet? I use the Episode and Champions races to save gold bars, but I’ve also been spending money on your game…until now. Not a dime from me until it’s fixed. I am sure this can be fixed in a company this size. I do not trust this situation. And I was just offered 15 gold bars for my trouble. 😂
I’m not spending another cent on this game until they fix this. It’s been going on far too long. I do a combo of winning races and chocolate boxes, and buy bars when I have to. No longer. Bye for now, Candy Crush! 😡
is there any update on this?
Good way to get players to quit their Candy Crush addiction…I certainly won’t purchase any gold bars and can’t earn them on gold chocolate box because I’d need to spend a few. Not spending another penny and I’m considering deleting my account. 😡
I'm on level 17207. I have no idea who's in this race with me or their status. If I get to level 17210, are you giving out gold bars to everyone? I sometimes pay for gold bars, seems like a huge waste of money.
Which is the best game in the world?
E verdade aparece a bandeira mas nada acontece só promessa daí a gente não ganha barras e não passa as fases difíceis
Good luck po☺️
@QueenB I reported this to support in 2023 October and asked you about the same month. I haven't had this race for over a year all I get is the fake flag. I gave you plenty of screenshots in October but nothing happened. I finally just took it as is. Now more people are having an issue so hopefully they will try and fix it. Thank you for passing this on to the studio again as I have contacted them over and over with no results.
I've given up waiting for the episode race to come back. I will just have to find some other crooked way to get to the end of the map or give up playing. I am starting to wonder if there is some truth in the claim that there aren't enough recordings of players near the top of the map: Surely anyone who has reached the end of the map and is able to keep up playing 45 new levels week after week will be using methods that let them pass an episode more quickly than the 24 hours required to give each of us a chance to win the episode race. So maybe there really aren't any players slow enough to set us up against. Anyone who can't pass these levels has long thrown in the towel….
Perhaps in this case King could make us race against players on different episodes. It's all fake anyway, so why not let us race against bots? That would be fair as we all know it's a timed event!
I’m stuck on 17242 without Episode Race, and I have 255 extra moves but only 8 gold bars left. This has been going on and supposedly “Under Investigation” for two weeks now. Unacceptable. I’ve played the game with a combination of winning and purchasing gold bars. I just calculated that I’ve spent $415.74 on this game in the past three months! They don’t get another red cent from me until this is fixed. I suspect a ripoff of higher level players. They know we’re “addicted” and trying to get more money from us.
