sorry if this is old news, but it’s the first time my chocolate box options have included “in new level wins”
I really don’t like this development (considering that some of the week some of us don’t have new levels to win…)

Well said @Jumpery my sentiments exactly. Whoever is running the show at King just doesn't seem to get it. I've said it before, I'd love to be a fly on the wall at one of their whiteboard, tea, coffee, biscuit meetings. Just a small fly though otherwise they'd hear me laughing 😂
King don't seem to find the balance between keeping their players engaged, happy, encouraged (to watch ads, spend gold, spend money) versus annoyed. Taking away the parts of the game that bring joy and replacing them by stressful challenges no one really got time for in a brute effort to make one more buck is embarrassing. People will pay money if a game offers an entertaining balance of fun and (sometimes) complex challenges. If there's no fun anymore and the money grabbing is this obvious, why would anyone want to pay or even keep playing and watching ads for that matter? King, get your head out of your a- wallet and think about the future and not just the next buck. Seriously, is everything run by short-sided venture capitalists now?
Yes, it just happened to me today. Now it's impossible to "earn", for example "purple" in older levels.
Hello @cwgames99, I have noticed a number of changes in the map view for Candy Crush Saga. Some items have been moved from the "Events" section to the sides of the map. Such changes are also affecting daily login streaks. I don't expect them to be permanent, but I share your frustration with such changes. I will ask our team for details.
@MountainMom I very much appreciate the effort you put in as a volunteer and in no way did I criticise the amount of time you spend in this chatroom.
It just seemed as though this particular issue, being a large thorn in a vast number of the community, had not been addressed by anyone until I tagged you.
since yesterday, I no longer see the “events” icon on the bottom of my maps screen. Currently I have no access to the chocolate box. Is this change permanent?
Hi @Charleyfarley, Moderators are not given advance notice regarding changes made to special events or levels in Candy Crush Saga. Consequently, I, too, am surprised about changes to the chocolate box, but assume this is more testing being done by developers.
As volunteers, we do not keep regular hours, so I apologize if you are disappointed about how much time I spend in this Community. However, please be assured that I forward issues to management when they appear to affect many players.
@Carol-38, FYI @QueenB will be back next week.
moderators conspicuous by their absence
That to me is the strangest part. One would think King's primary goal is to keep people in the game and active, but these chocolate box changes would seem to do the exact opposite of that, driving us away from spending time in the game.
I might as well sit it out and wait for it to expire (4 days)
I would’ve thought it was in King’s interest to have me watching ads/ playing rather than not being involved
But what do I know ?
So I completed the 2,960 blue candies at a great cost ; a complete episode later and copious gold squandered
My reward ? 4th task, 22 unplayed levels
Cheers King 🍾
Thanks for testing my tag @Charleyfarley it worked. So it must be hit and miss for me at times.
Any comment mountainmom ? @MountainMom

Hi, collegeamoco. I have seen that problem a number of times - it even happened to me once yesterday. I have found that closing Candy Crush and then reopening it, and then opening the chocolate box, usually allows it to advance as it should.
The only change I have so far is that it won't update, ie go to the next one when the old one is completed. Example: collected 6 hands but won't move on to the next choice. 😔🤷♀️
Agreed. At least there is hope they have left some ability to navigate this change.
Thanks @3family. This is very helpful.
I thought I’d update it, and I’ll be honest I’ve made a significant profit on gold this morning. After passing a level (using coins to pay for extra moves) that awarded free switches for 20 minutes, I used them and this was my task for the 4th chocolate on the silver box
A new task and one that is easy to complete. So this was a pleasant surprise Running gold total of -2
Gold box (25 coins)
first option was “in new level wins” but switched to that. Easy to clear
Easy
First option was green “in new levels”. This task takes a while but no issues for me
This was the final chocolate task
I went for this as I was on a +45 level already. I spent 10 gold here to clear the level so made a profit of 15 gold on the box (plus the other boosters)
Running total of gold +13
Next gold box saw the first three chocolates be a repeat of above (colour bombs, stripes, wrapped) in different amounts. Always in first two options (with the colour + “win new levels” being the others I rejected)
So on the second gold box of the day, these were the options for the final chocolate
It doesn’t state new levels but 24 is still a large number even if you have 30 mins free striped + wrapped. This could be useful though, particularly if you have a ton of these you don’t use
standard option I try to avoid
25 extra moves again. I used this (paying 10, getting 25 back) for a profit of 15
Profit on the morning of 28 gold from one silver box and two gold boxes. I also won the episode race (25) for a total profit of 53 gold.
So if I can avoid the colors + “in new level wins” tasks, (and the final “win in first try” or “win 23 new levels”) tasks I think there’s a chance to still use chocolate box to earn gold. And I actually think that 25 moves option is favourable to the player (compared to 2/3/4 UFOs, party boosters etc)
Realise this is a long post but thought some might get useful info from it
Good to hear from you, Jumpery! Haven't seen you around here much lately. So sad it had to be over such bad news.
I was thoroughly appreciating my nice normal gold chocolate boxes yesterday; I went through 4 of them in a single episode. I guess that won't be possible anymore once this goes through to everyone. Very sad.
Well that's some BS! Saw this change yesterday, hate it since then. Kings rotten ideas really know no bounds.
