This is an update for December 2025:
Events and features are a key part to playing Candy Crush. They give players boosters and gold to help pass levels which are designed to require gold or boosters to pass. So playing features and events wisely is so, so important to success.
King control which features and events we get. King place players into different test groups and each group gets a "bespoke" selection of events and rewards.
Events are full of illusions and manipulations. Players need to see through those to make the most of the events.
Those other players are not real. They have been picked by King from their enormous database especially for you, to match your own playing style, to compete against in:
- Episode Race
- Candy Royale
- Weekly Contest
- Factory Frenzy
You are not competing against others, you are competing against the game.
Understand how these and all the other events work and you can beat the game.
