A lot…

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/494252/cheater-in-final-knockout-all-stars-2025

I see the same situation in this past 3 days and more… When this part of the All Stars have been open, I was there and, in the first second I was there, I saw poeple who had already 20K! How could it be possible? I stayed in the top 4 and, to do that, I spend a lot of gold bars ans stayed 48 hours without sleeping. The winner of my group was in the 6th position with almost 1,5millions less than the top of the scale and, after I went to sleep 4 hours, I realised that this player was in the top of the scale! Unfortunately, the winner of this game is not the best one but the more cheater and the one who spend the more money… For me, not sure if others players should agree my point of view but, King should win more respect of their loyals players if they :

-Create special All stars board with the same levels for all

-Only count the point of levels played online (impossibility to play on this board offline)

-Max gold bars and boosters for all (ex. 1000 gold bars) if player want to buy them.

-Less time for each steps. 84 hours is to long.

-Check that the game of each players had been played from the same ip adress.

This is my opinion but, with this way to play, the winner of that kind of All Stars would be the best of all. What do you think of that?

totally agree things need to change. Top two never logged out for more than 5 minutes.8 million ahead of 3 rd player. I cant physically keep awake for 4 days. I have an idea how it can be much fairer. You are only allowed to play for 12 hours in 24 .

I experienced the same thing. I suspect a bot or multiple players using one account. Definitely needs investigation.

My method is to start a new game from level 1. Spend no gold at all up to level 200. This may mean you have to replay levels until the game lets you pass. From level 205 the legendary levels start. Try to get lots of friends for extra lives so that you can replay the legendary levels until the game either lets you pass or offers you enough extra moves to pass with just 10 gold bars. Play each episode in one sitting so you will win the episode races. Play boosters wisely and don't waste them. Playing no more than two episodes per day will usually earn us enough boosters from events to not have to spend gold bars to buy boosters. That's my method and it works for me. I make a gold profit in each episode that way, so eventually I have thousands of gold bars.

The key to earning lots of gold is to not cling on to a win streak at all costs. Never spend more than 10 gold bars to pass any one level!

I would like to add @golfpunkgirl that I am sorry you were playing at a level range which I think it is practically impossible to compete at in All Stars. I tried to warn players about it here (check page 1 of the thread linked below). Some level ranges just are not suitable for purple candy collection and I am so sorry you lost so much sleep trying to achieve the impossible.

hello! I just wanted to know how people save up so many gold. Is there a trick? I’ve heard of people having something like 10,000 gold bars, that’s crazy. I normally have 100-200 gold bars if anything, just winning championship races and chocolate boxes. Because obviously I use them for some boosters sometimes do it’s impossible to collect many.how do you do it?

also, I’ve been playing Candy Crush All-Stars for the last three years : finished in the final knockouts all three years. 2023 - 2nd round, 2024 - first round and 2025 - second round (I literally just got beat!). :( I realise that because I’m on level 13,000+ now, near for me to be in contention because my boards are going to be considerably more difficult than majority of players in my groups who were between 7000 to 8000 levels. I was playing five consecutive levels with no purple stars and extremely difficult games. It was so soul destroying to realise that no matter how well I played, that it would be impossible for me to keep my lead or catch up with players. A lot of the levels I played didn’t even have purple stars to collect!!! And the board is more like a puzzle rather than Candy collecting so you have to be on the case. I was doing everything right. And I made it a point to try to collect as many purple stars and getting a super candy crush by using a final move to complete the level which maximises my star collection. Despite this, I was hardly getting any stars and the levels kept getting more difficult and loads had no purple in them. It would average about four-five games per 15 that didn’t contain purple stars!!! How are we supposed to win. I didn’t sleep for three days! I’m delirious.

Anything over 10,000,000 is huge and takes a lot of crushing. But there is no system in place that would limit scores as such. In a round that lasts 90 hours such figures are possible to achieve even if we spend time asleep.

When I was looking at other scores, most were at the seven figure range.

I am not sure what you mean by this @KiwiBird97 ? Why would the scoring end at seven digits?

sarakara2013

This guy cheated the whole time. I spent an entire 24 hours to surpass him only to have him come and surpass me by double in less than and hour. There is literally no way he didn't cheat. How do I know? Because my opponent behind me spent a solid 12 hours while I was sleeping after a long flight playing and still not reaching my score. All the others behind me fought hard but the first guy even in the first few minutes of the game was racking up points like nothing I have seen before. Sounds like people are lawyering up.....I'll be on the lookout!

@kaorisann Please be mindful while using money to buy boosters/lifes. What if the top players have numerous boosters and gold bars. Play under your own risk when using money that is all I'm saying. I'm not discouraging you.

I thought the maximum cap was 9,999,999 (seven digits).

This was similar to my grouping, I had to get over 12 million to get the top spot. Still playing!

kaorisann

The best two in my race are doing roughly 126k per hour? how much money do I have to spent to get this too?

Lol...they have bots. I know because this happened in the music event. I am a really good player, seriously good. I stayed up, passing levels in that event and this other player was jumping 50,000-100,000 every 5-10 minutes to overtake me by a couple million on the last day of the finals. I didn't even bother with this round 2. When I logged in the first hour the top seed was already 500,000. That's not possible. In order to collect those, it takes longer level sessions.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3311281#Comment_3311281

I am sorry but actually it takes just half an hour to accumulate 90,000. Don't forget that we get the 30x multiplier for playing new levels. So a score of 90,000 is actually just 3000 purple candies. That can be done in half an hour.

I can confirm that what you are saying is true. Today, I was playing the second final nock out. The tournament started at 9:00 , but I started at 9:05. By 9:05 there were people with 90,000 purple start candies which is impossible. I have been playing this game for a while and I know for a fact that it takes a veryyyyy long time to accumulate such amount of starts even if you use many busters and don’t lose life’s. It takes hours. I am glad you mentioned that because I thought I was crazy.

Speaking of No. 1, it's not always a good idea, especially when it comes to the Lucky Candy Booster. If the level requires you to "collect all orders," look at the icons to the left to see what types of orders to collect. For example, if too much black licorice cover the board that results in an unusual pattern, it could result in a unwinnable situation ("Oops! No more possible switches!" after shuffle). Same thing for frosting that covers the top of the board and insufficient candies remain.

(While you are shown in advance what types of orders to collect, it will not show how much you need to collect.)
