New player experience (Oct.2025)

I've been starting to wonder if my old advice is outdated in these days of AI and jelly fish. I'm trying to see how Candy Crush plays for a real life new player, so I'm going undercover:

I started a new game yesterday.

I'm not trying to copy SirPyro here: I'm no good with computer programming and am not analysing algorithms or anything like that. I'm trying to see how the game feels and how far a quick learner new player will get playing exactly as the game intends (except spending money, of course)

Here come my first impressions.

You're right that there is no necessity for a new game to be saved in order to participate. However if you want to play the event on two or three devices, which is allowed according to the rules, you have to do so. I was thinking of doing that in order to keep my gold balance low. If you purchase boosters from your gold and spread those out over two or maybe even the three allowed devices then you might stand more of a chance of actually being allowed to participate in the first place. That was my reasoning, since in 2025 so many of us were excluded, apparently because our gold balance was "suspicious".

I suggested you playing another sister game of King, because this could let you compare this game with another.

I actually think they blacklist accounts, not emails as such.

If you play other games of King and register it by a same email account you have used in Candy Crush, you will get a same UserID. An email account will be assigned a definite UserID.😬

You said: Testie wants to participate in the All Stars next year, so she would register and then become a flower. Do you mean if a player doesn't register her game, she cannot participate in any tournaments? But I don't see the registration is one of the criteria for participation in the clauses.

If Testie is above 18 years old and has passed a certain levels the event required, she should be able to participate it😆

Of course I have a lot of experience I cannot switch off as much as I tried. For those new players you mention and any other new players you might encounter, I have summarised my best advice here:

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/510797/tips-for-new-starters-how-to-play-candy-crush-from-level-1

Part of the Testie diary was to try and put myself in a new player's shoes so I could come up with some useful advice from their perspective. One of the first things I mention is the need to make friends. It is so important in this game, especially now that many levels the game will not let us pass for more than five attempts.

The difficulty of these early levels has changed since September. Anyone who started playing months ago is playing a different Candy Crush than player starting now. That's why I put the month in the header.

I agree with u , my sister started playing few months back and she was only playing for half an hour or so .
she don’t wanted to add other people for more lives .
These days because of TikTok I think people don’t have patience to wait for more lives or boosters

They don’t play for pleasure . They just play for time pass . Especially when net is not connected or poor network .
my son play with me sometime he ends up saying “ mum it’s too hard” and gives up , he is in his teens .
It over all a good effort and I enjoyed reading it .

I have enjoyed reading Christine's thread, but based on two new (ish) players that I know you can see Christine's years of playing/expertise creeping into her thought processes.

The two new players that I know do not play as quickly or for as long as Christine does and they are always asking for help to complete difficult levels. They both hoard gold and one of them doesn't even bother using the Booster Wheel.

Neither of them will ask friends for lives or invite friends to their game because they don't like the thought of interacting with strangers 🤦😀

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3417862#Comment_3417862

We’re working on it 🧐

Seriously, @christinewupp, your ability to make your brain forget everything you know and think like a new player is highly impressive and this has been a most entertaining thread. Kudos to you! 👏

Dear testie

It’s been fascinating to follow your journey as a new player over the past few days.

You really seem to have this game sussed and have realised how easy it is, so are obviously a much better player than those who have played it for years. I can see why you feel you have a great chance of winning the big cash tournament next April.

And as the host of Family Fortunes used to say - if you’re right, I’ll give you the money myself.

Thank you for your response @QueenB. However at the moment I think getting rid of the spammer should be top priority because this community cannot function while this is going on, so there is no point posting anything as all anyone sees is spam on page one.

Wow 🤩 thank you for putting so much thought into this and for taking the time to test and explain what you’re seeing so clearly. This kind of detailed feedback is really valuable for the team because it highlights how the game feels from a player’s perspective, not just how it performs technically.

You’ve raised an interesting point about how boosters behave in the newer level logic, especially with the jelly fish at the end of levels. I’ve shared this feedback with the team so they can take a closer look 😉

I can’t promise changes, but insights like this help the designers understand how recent adjustments impact player strategy and experience. Thanks again for going the extra mile to show examples 🙏

Very last comment:

You might be onto something Big Brother-wise @michimune . After saving the game to a new flower my player card now states "playing since 2024". I don't get why this is, but I fear I did not delete Safari internet history before downloading the app and starting this game and it may have linked my new game to Cornflower (that game started in 2024), which I was previously playing on this device. It's not the email that seems to be at fault here, it's probably the cookies King install on our devices. Either way, I have had to ask for the account to be deleted. It's not that much of a loss, because I am really stuck at level 366 now and it's not fun playing.

Account delete request sent. Done with Candy Crush for now.

I'll go back to playing Resident Evil.

One last comment by Christine:

When I hit level 306 ads showed up. I got +3 extra moves and the booster balloon on the map. I can't be doing with it so I've chosen "reject all" in my privacy settings. But it is interesting:

Firstly the game now seems to be set so if we fail a level three additional moves are enough. This goes hand in hand with the observation that the "pass" sequence has been shortened by the jelly fish. I now find that a pass is usually brought about by a wrap+stripe combo, or by jelly fish, and it only takes just one ore two moves now.

Secondly it does go to show that right now is a good time to start a new account. The game is exceptionally kind to newbies. Those ads showed up really early.

Oh dear: I've got pre level, post level boosters now, sweet cinema, plus a heart for watching an ad at the top here:

I think I might have to make a small purchase again to get rid of all that if I'm going to carry on with this account…

Have you thought of starting a new account for next year's All Stars @Nobody1 ? Now might be a really good time to give it a go.

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3417353#Comment_3417353

We'll see but I really don't think King are that clever! There were two email tied up in that account and one of them King know about as it's the same email I use for my community account. But the other one……. no one here knows that one and I'm sure King's bots don't know it either. It's not a witch hunt after all, it is merely an automated system run by a computer. I actually think they blacklist accounts, not emails as such. But we'll see.

Dear Testie,

Are you serious? You would be replaced by the stupid cocky person you mentioned above?😜

I think you have only read her thread you mentioned above and didn't read her thread about why she deleted her first Candy Crush account 😔

One of the reasons is: this account had been blocked from many events, it's blacklisted. Therefore if you are replaced by that email, you would........…😬

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/3417294#Comment_3417294

Hi @michimune Nice to meet you!

I had no reason to keep a win streak because there was no win streak benefit in my game. I didn't know what a win streak was until I reached level 200! So why would I want to use boosters to keep a win streak? Is there a prize in this game for reaching a really high win streak? If there is no one has told me so!

At level 200, yes that is when the win streak came into my game and the super charger at the same time. But by that point I had learned that easy levels don't need boosters to pass and that if I fail a level twice the game offers me 15 extra moves for 10 gold bars. So of course this is a cheaper way to play than actually buying boosters! Ok, so I do have a university degree, but surely any eleven year old can work that out?

So yes, of course once I got the super charger and the win streak appeared in my game at level 200 I made sure I kept my win streak, using all the boosters the game gave me for free! I really like that super charger! It's so good.

I have now reached past level 300 with it intact, and I can definitely say that it helps to pass levels easily. And it helps to make lots of gold! (I've taken a look at the community and I really don't understand what this stupid cocky person is writing about here:

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/509919/super-chargers-is-the-benefit-real-or-an-illusion

What a load of nonsense, I can vouch for it that the super charger is super helpful and worth keeping!)

Here my progress:

I don't have many boosters but I really don't need them. The only useful one is the colour bomb ball, because that goes well with the super charger and helps have more of those on the opening board!

As for the other boosters, I have had to play one lollipop and one UFO to stop myself having to pay gold at the inflated price of 16 gold (remember I swore to never do that again!), and having to play a UFO, well that was on a level where the starting boosters were locked up! So no super charger was available at that level. I'm not sure if I would have lost it had I lost the level, there was a message that it did not affect my win streak, but I didn't want to chance it.

I had all the boosters I needed from events I easily won without thinking about it: I have freed the jelly queen three times now, and have noted that the Alien Invasion levels are all easier than the pop-up at the end shows. They are just fun and easy. I love that event.

I have won the weekly contest easily, every episode race of course, and just today I won Factory Frenzy twice and some other event that gave me 10 gold bars after just one episode:

I also I now have the UFO (from freeing the jelly queen again) to make progress in that stupid chocolate box to get the gold, but that will have to wait until later as I'm done for today now.

So I win a UFO after I free the jelly queen, I reckon I can finish the box in the three days I've got. With hindsight I really should have opted for the previous option: passing levels on my first try! But silly me didn't know about the super charger and the win streak back then and this stupid event won't allow me to go back to a previous choice! How infuriating!

So yes, I'm quite liking this game and it's relaxing and easy to play. I'm still not sure what all the gold will be good for, but I've read somewhere that in April every year there is a cash prize event, and I'm doing so well, I might just try and participate! I'm obviously really good at the is game and it's so easy I should stand a chance to win it. So the gold will come in handy for that! I'll keep going with the account and try to make as much gold as I can to win that event!

(note from Christine I might do just that…… change Testie into a flower, use my newly freed-up genuine former Poppy email to save the game, and see you all in April!)

I'll stop my diary now.

So: Bye-bye and Happy Crushing everyone!

Dear Testie, I have read all your diaries regarding your journey in Candy Crush. But I think most real newbie would use up their in-level boosters to keep their win streak, not let it go😜.

You should play another sister game of King that you really never play, such as Candy Crush Soda, then you will find you have different behaviours there, because you will be a newbie actually.

This can let you compare different games of King, not jail in the world of Candy Crush only, maybe you would find another face of Candy Crush.

I am looking forward to your another diary regarding another journey 😜

Note by Christine:

@QueenB While writing this thread I have made some surprising discoveries and one of them I would like to pass on as feedback here. (I am not expecting you to read all of this thread as it's meant to be a diary of a newbie and I really tried very hard to forget everything I know about the game and put myself into the mind of a new player.)

The shocking discovery I have made is that I could not see the purpose of using boosters in this test game so far. It is a little complicated to explain, but I will try: I think recent changes to the way levels complete may be reason. The new fish-based algorithms, especially the "end of level" part of each algorithm apparently now makes the use of boosters obsolete. This cannot be what the game team has intended, but it is definitely what I have found. Each level either ends in an obvious "fail" requiring us to either replay or pay gold, or in an easy way to finish off the level without boosters when the jelly fish eat the remaining jellies. There used to be a situation in the last 5-7 moves of each level where we had to pause and think about using boosters to pass. The jelly fish are not allowing this and will either make sure we pass or make sure we fail. The end of level part of these early algorithms needs looking at. The "pass" levels are over too soon and too suddenly, so player do not have the chance to even think about using boosters. As well as this, in the first 240 levels I have found that playing starting boosters does not affect level outcome on any of them. This also needs looking at.

Edit after playing half another episode. Here is a great example to the point:

I won timed paint brush plus time lollipops in my first weekly contest and this board invites me to play it. If I place it next to one of the colour bombs I can create a combo. I choose the green as there are lots of green candies. Maybe the blue would have given a better result, but a novice would not think that far.

What I am finding here is that neither of the two green stripes that could have hit the purple candy bottom left did so, so there is still no obvious winning move here. I now try the free lollipop hammer to that pink. And as my last move I strike the colour bomb against a red, since two of the three jellies are red. This is the outcome

Where are the jelly fish in this level?

Of course these boosters were free but anyone thinking they might be able to pass a level "using boosters wisely" will learn from this that the only way to use boosters wisely is to not use them at all.

Wow Christina, I think you are absolutely right! Thank you for your insights and all of your contributions, I am sure so many of us find value in them. ❤️

This new super charger and the win streak is making my game so easy! The next episode was just a walk through, every level was easy, even the ones labelled as hard. I passed them all with lots of moves spare. I'm not sure what the aim of this game is really. It's not challenging in any way.

I got bored and had a look through the events. I noted this one, which is odd:

I hadn't noticed it before, but look how far ahead I am of all the others. I took a closer look and you know what: Every single one of these competitors stopped playing six days ago! No wonder I'm so far ahead! This isn't really a competition: The game is letting me win everything!

I'm kind of curious what comes next, but if this game doesn't get any more challenging then I don't think Candy Crush is for me. It's a game for kids really.

This is just so good and has made the game really easy, but fun as well:

I only had to pay 10 gold bars in the entire episode here:

The Alien Invasion level is super easy again, I'm not sure if it's the super charger or what, but look at this:

And that level had a fire/legendary label! (Shhhh….🤫)

I enjoyed that episode, but I have to stop, because Sunday afternoon is family fun time. I'm not an addict……yet…

I am looking forward to your another diary regarding another journey 😜

Note by Christine:

@QueenB While writing this thread I have made some surprising discoveries and one of them I would like to pass on as feedback here. (I am not expecting you to read all of this thread as it's meant to be a diary of a newbie and I really tried very hard to forget everything I know about the game and put myself into the mind of a new player.)

The shocking discovery I have made is that I could not see the purpose of using boosters in this test game so far. It is a little complicated to explain, but I will try: I think recent changes to the way levels complete may be reason. The new fish-based algorithms, especially the "end of level" part of each algorithm apparently now makes the use of boosters obsolete. This cannot be what the game team has intended, but it is definitely what I have found. Each level either ends in an obvious "fail" requiring us to either replay or pay gold, or in an easy way to finish off the level without boosters when the jelly fish eat the remaining jellies. There used to be a situation in the last 5-7 moves of each level where we had to pause and think about using boosters to pass. The jelly fish are not allowing this and will either make sure we pass or make sure we fail. The end of level part of these early algorithms needs looking at. The "pass" levels are over too soon and too suddenly, so player do not have the chance to even think about using boosters. As well as this, in the first 240 levels I have found that playing starting boosters does not affect level outcome on any of them. This also needs looking at.

Edit after playing half another episode. Here is a great example to the point:

I won timed paint brush plus time lollipops in my first weekly contest and this board invites me to play it. If I place it next to one of the colour bombs I can create a combo. I choose the green as there are lots of green candies. Maybe the blue would have given a better result, but a novice would not think that far.

What I am finding here is that neither of the two green stripes that could have hit the purple candy bottom left did so, so there is still no obvious winning move here. I now try the free lollipop hammer to that pink. And as my last move I strike the colour bomb against a red, since two of the three jellies are red. This is the outcome

Where are the jelly fish in this level?

Of course these boosters were free but anyone thinking they might be able to pass a level "using boosters wisely" will learn from this that the only way to use boosters wisely is to not use them at all.

Wow Christina, I think you are absolutely right! Thank you for your insights and all of your contributions, I am sure so many of us find value in them. ❤️

This new super charger and the win streak is making my game so easy! The next episode was just a walk through, every level was easy, even the ones labelled as hard. I passed them all with lots of moves spare. I'm not sure what the aim of this game is really. It's not challenging in any way.

I got bored and had a look through the events. I noted this one, which is odd:

I hadn't noticed it before, but look how far ahead I am of all the others. I took a closer look and you know what: Every single one of these competitors stopped playing six days ago! No wonder I'm so far ahead! This isn't really a competition: The game is letting me win everything!

I'm kind of curious what comes next, but if this game doesn't get any more challenging then I don't think Candy Crush is for me. It's a game for kids really.

This is just so good and has made the game really easy, but fun as well:

I only had to pay 10 gold bars in the entire episode here:

The Alien Invasion level is super easy again, I'm not sure if it's the super charger or what, but look at this:

And that level had a fire/legendary label! (Shhhh….🤫)

I enjoyed that episode, but I have to stop, because Sunday afternoon is family fun time. I'm not an addict……yet…

Gold bard
Hello, I just won a race. I had 55 gold bars. It should have went up to 95 gold bars but the extra 40 didn't register. How can that get fixed? Thank you.
Level 12590
Looks like it's come to years of playing, DEDICATED PLAYING, to gonna have to say See ya Candy Crush!! Level 12590 is 100% impossible w/o boosters, which I don't have. Asked for help multiple times. Nothing.
Level 9292 is impossible - (Edited by CM: working on a fix)
FYI the way level 9292 is currently set up, it is impossible to win without paying for gold bars or having some in reserve. If you play perfectly, and someone helped you out giving you 3 extra lives, you are still one short of being able to win. I've paid for gold bars before to help me pass hard levels, but I refuse to…
