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…)

3rd time for this to happen, this time will expire on Tuesday early-monring instead
Unfortunately, Pins come back on Monday and the chocolate box is the only good source of rare pin packs. Having a Gold box with only level options in the fourth task while not having new levels is not a great option as this can make the pin progression slower than expected. Most events do not give out rare pin packs and even I can't easily get the Podium prize any longer as I'm mostly unable to keep at least the 3rd position in Weekly Contest three weeks in a row due to the fact that Star Tournament doesn't work with that event.
Here we go again on the Chocolate Box. This is the 2nd time that I cannot complete out a Chocolate Box in time because this time all four options of the fourth task was levels (Between Unplayed and First Try Wins), this means that even with the old chocolate box style players in the Higher end of the map are hindered still, but only if the fourth task only contains level options
So within the old style, the fourth task must contain at least one option of between Party or UFO so such players won't be hindered out at all. Likewise, with the new style, all tasks must contain at least one option that can be done within old levels.
I bet the other three levels (Classic, Bronze and Silver) also have Elite versions but we got used to see the Gold Box as the only box with Elite Challenge as evidenced by the Chocolate Box files (CSV to be exact).
Im also fine with the 24 hour limit, seems rasonable. Probably many people were earning too much gold with the chocolate box.
One other thing that happened today, was that i didnt have ads when loosing any level but ads are active, because i could see the sweet cinema. Anyone else who have ads, realized this?
I would agree that waiting 24 hours is reasonable if I weren't in the 18000s 🙂 Being able to fill more than one box per episode helps to stay afloat.
On the plus side all this seems to suggest that the 200 gold limit trial failed and that nonsense is not going to be rolled out to all.
I hope so.
Good. At least the gold cap experiment didn't went out to more players in the end.
I've had a similar experience with the gold elite box. It's kind to players who prefer to scroll back to go-to levels and not play more than one episode per day. I think the delay seems reasonable to be honest. I don't mind waiting 24 hours to do the next. I remember that is how it used to be years ago as well. It helps King keep track of the maximum of gold players can make in the game. On the plus side all this seems to suggest that the 200 gold limit trial failed and that nonsense is not going to be rolled out to all.
You can't get an Elite Chocolate Box if you have the old style any longer.
On the contrary, I did get the 'win levels with three stars' task for the third chocolate, and I found the Elite box to be different from the normal one. The color collection tasks seem to be absent, but you can encounter 'pass 20 new levels' as a task for the first chocolate, and 'use 5 hands' for the fourth one. Everything seems to be mixed up in it. One thing I haven't encountered yet is a special candy collection for the fourth chocolate.
So I guess you don't get Win Levels with 3 Stars task as one of the first three tasks on an Elite Box and you get just the Lollipop/Free Switch/Candy Collection (In new level wins)/Special Candy Collection in them. The last time I had an elite box, was in the old style and had encountered the Unplayed levels task even before getting into the final task. Because the Elite Box is not much different besides more Gold, lower duration and longer cooldown (The non-elite ones has a cooldown too but its too small to notice it as it is 5 minutes), it might be as similar as the non-elite box.
Mine has not been elite so far this weekend, although I haven't done any yet today. I am still back on the old chocolate box orders - I had the new ones for a few weeks and then it went back to the old ones. I got back to the end of the map on Wednesday, and since then it has been very kind to me. I have done 5 or 6 chocolate boxes since then, including 2 yesterday. It keeps giving me UFOs for the last order, and then giving me UFOs with extra moves for ads after I fail a level. So I've been doing a lot of Star Tournament for that.
How was the first three tasks?
In three boxes, I've seen bombs/stripes/wraps, use hands/hammers, 'win levels with three stars', one 'pass 20 new levels' (!) task, i.e. anything but collecting colored candies.
How was the first three tasks? It seems for accounts that play less they don't appear to offer the Elite Chocolate Box as they don't seem to give it to accounts with the old version.
I've got it too, in all three accounts. So it really does look like this is a universal feature.
Yes, I got the 'Elite Challenge' chocolate box with a 24-hour timer this weekend. The timer starts when a new box is started. Now, the cooldown timer is the last thing I would want to see in a chocolate box. If it's a weekend-only feature (I hope it is), I guess I will have to stop playing on weekends. If every box comes with a timer from now on… 😡
Hello.
My chocolate box changed once again. Now when I fill the chocolate box, I get a 3 hour timer untill next one.
Anyone also have this timer?
Judging from another user, it seems they no longer offer the Chocolate Box changes to accounts that play 60 or less new levels per week (Also accounts who are at the top of the map). For those, they could give out the new fourth chocolate tasks plus the color tasks that don't require new levels instead of seeing the original version. This mirrors the recent Prize Palooza event (Which I can't see due to 30+ Gold amount) in where such players do not get the version where only new levels work (They get the version where all work but new levels and Star Tournament give out x30 multiplier)
I have moved on to the Gold level again, however. Now done all three initial box levels (Classic, Bronze, Silver). I will keep the Box open until new levels come out but on the first Gold box I've done all possible booster tasks you can get on the first three chocolates. This would be done even with the new style, too as this would save a lot of work for new levels (Or for later in the current case, box will continue with 2500 Orange (Not Orange in new level wins)).
If I will still be receiving out old style boxes again for a long time, then the only obstacle will be the fourth chocolate if all of its options lack a booster option this time. While the silver had 6 First Try Wins, I've finished it with a single UFO.
Those tasks weren't too bad for me as I don't usually get stuck but without having the ability to finish them using Star Tournament is makes the box more difficult to be finished or even impossible. I'm waiting for new levels to pop up this Wednesday but they won't serve any usefulness for the first three tasks as unfortunately I got back to the old version today and means that I can finish them without a hitch with old level replays. Though I got used to the "in new level wins" color collection tasks for the higher levels (Silver and Gold). For the last new levels I've done, I've done only those color tasks in new level wins for the box followed by First Try Wins, one of the four original tasks you could find in the fourth task
I HATE HATE HATE any tasks that require New Levels wins. The chocolate box is one of the only sub-games that works for players at the end of the board, so this development is a major bummer. I hope it goes away, along with ALL the other "New Level only" things that only serve to leave out your most loyal players.
