Life at the end of the map - a discussion

I had the episode race for two episodes only this week. I played all three episodes in one go, quite early this week on Wednesday evening. The third episode race was missing, I guess they hadn't created the opposition yet.

Does anyone have any good advice on how to handle the chocolate boxes at the end of the map? What do you do if all you get is new levels for the last order? Or if you get something like 3 party boosters and decide to try for better and just get new levels? Is it okay to fail the chocolate box and have to go back to earn the other boxes to move back up to gold?
Just asking again because I am now 17 hours away from failing my chocolate box because it's on the last choice of new levels, so I can't finish in time since I don't have any more levels, so I'm not sure what to do next.

As I wrote before, my game crashed after a few bad decisions. In fact, it all started with the chocolate box. I wanted to avoid party boosters and I got new levels on the first try. I forced them and lost everything. Since then, playing old levels and choosing UFO for the last order I reached 360 gold bars (from 28). At this point I stopped because I received party boosters, and I'm playing my new game that I'm getting more and more attached to. I would say you shouldn't have any trouble getting the box of chocolates back, but it takes patience for 5 days. @christinewupp , if I play without saving, on another device, I convert the gold bars into boosters, what's the next step? Do I go to My account and log in to the account where I want the boosters to go?

Hi @dia_candy Yes, that is exactly what I do. I have not done it for a few months and I know that King have made some changes to how the inventory works, so I hope they haven't ruined this since. If for some reason it does not work let us know! Make sure you choose the bottom option "already have a King account? Log in with email" in My Account. (The bigger option in bold green will create a brand new account and once done cannot be undone.)

I have had to let a few gold chocolate boxes expire too @Nobody1 . The game tends to give us a variety of options most of the time but once in a while it will give us exactly those options we never choose. For those players who prefer the boosters it will give a box with only levels and those who prefer levels it will give only the boosters option. But it does not happen very often and once the box expires the whole system seems to reset and the options get better again. The first two boxes are filled in no time and the timed boosters come in handy. The silver box gives me 10 gold bars already in my game and it does not take very long to get back to the gold box though I think there is no way to hurry along the waiting time. I don't fill multiple boxes per week in my end of map game but try to get the timing right to fill one. In my other game I often get offered extra moves plus a UFO for watching adverts after a failed level, and when I do I use that UFO to fill the last chocolate order. I don't know if you ever get those, but my game offers me the adverts for free moves plus UFO for old failed levels as well, which is really handy. But of course each one of us gets different offers.

Thank you so much @dia_candy and @christinewupp for the input. My gold box will run out 11 hours from now and then I will see how the other 3 boxes go.
Things are looking good for winning my section of Sweet Sailing 26 minutes from now. Hopefully it holds. I'm happy that I have been able to apparently win this without spending any gold bars! I've done it all with boosters I got from watching ads - no UFOs, party poppers, or paintbrushes since the competition started. I will post my leaderboard here when it is done - clearly I got put in a very easy group, which was helpful.
I'm thinking that is one of the advantages of being end-of-map. On the small competitions like this one, where the prize is too small for most people to justify playing hard, it's possible to win the competition without spending any gold bars if you watch ads for boosters and play the Star Tournament, since it doesn't cost anything to keep going in the Star Tournament, as compared to doing the things necessary to keep going at a constant rate with new levels. The large tournaments (like All-Stars) seem like they might be cost-prohibitive, although Christine's experiment earlier with candy-gathering speed was promising. But the smaller tournaments, where everyone else is figuring it's not worth spending more than you win, might be best won by someone at end-of-map.

Success! Won my group of Sweet Sailing without using any boosters requiring gold bars and no gold bars for extra moves! 75 gold bar prize at no cost to me except watching ads.

@christinewupp , It works! I didn't have the patience to collect a lot of gold bars, I wanted to see if it works. Thank you so much!

On several occasions, I had all 4 options on my last order with "new levels" to fill. This is how I handle it but not guarantee to work: Open up the Gold Chocolate Box on 2 devices simultaneously. If the first device offers no booster option, try the second device. Once I selected the booster option on the second device, I work on it immediately.
So far, it works for me more often than not.
