Before you spend money during All Stars read this first
Before you spend your life savings during the next round of All Stars make sure you understand how this event works. Have you read and understood the Terms and Conditions? There are still millions of players competing for just 10 places. There are four (4) more rounds to go, each with at least 50 players you will compete…

My final big test: Can a non cheater win All Stars?
I have spent a year running this test, ever since All Stars 2023. The verdict isn't quite in yet. I have started two games and one of them is still definitely in the running, the one I started in January. But for Sunflower which I started last summer I fear the end is nigh and I don't know if I will make it to the Final…

Why is my timer /countdown for All Stars Final Knockout 1 wrong?
Hello. I just opened my game this morning and I get this screen: It is currently 07. 24 h UK Summer time, Friday April 19th. So the timer must be wrong. Or the time we have been given for the start of the next round is wrong?

Attention all players from Brazil: Visa required!
Any person with a Brasilian passport needs a visa to qualify for the live final. Check with your embassy about visa application wait times. The cost of a US visa is 185 US dollars and the wait time might be days or weeks depending how busy they are. King have not answered my question if they will allow time after the 3rd…

So far, so good....
I am still working my way towards the first Final Knockout round with all three of my flowers. My strategy for this round was: Just do enough crushing to make sure I end up in the top 5. It's been boring so far, but maybe the next round will be harder. I might have to decide which of my flowers will make it to the Final…

Strategy for Final Knockout Round : How to prepare
I will post my best advice for anyone in the final knockout round 1 here later on in the week. For now, all I will suggest to anyone who has not yet done so: If you don't know what score you are capable of to achieve then please use the remainder of the current round to calculate it! You absolutely must know what score you…

Knockout round 2 What's the best strategy?
I've just started with my first test game. Surprisingly there are still only 10 players per leaderboard! So I would suggest the best strategy will be to wait! Don't play yet, for if you start now you'll be grouped with all the enthusiasts and will have to crush hard for 113 hours flat! Wait and then join a group later, so…

The difference between haves and havenots. How can this be the same game???
So I'm competing right now as two players (two flowers: Echinacea and Sunflower) playing exactly the same levels. Why oh why is one of my two games such fun and the other so frustrating???? I know why: Sunflower is fighting hard to survive, losing all the gold she accumulated since the summer. Echinacea is rich, really…

There are still only 10 players per group? If that is so then wait!
I have started my first test game and there are 10 players in its group, no more seem to be added, so that would suggest that in Knockout round 2 there are still indefinite leaderboards being created, so if you want to conserve you crushing energies, wait to play and don't join any of the early groups just yet. My timer…

Why are the final knockout rounds lasting a full week without time to rest?
I know that King won't answer this here, but I'm just highlighting it: The three final knockout stages last a full week, starting from April 20th through to April 28th with only two meagre six hours breaks during the entire week. This is a mega endurance marathon! Why are these rounds so long? It encourages non stop…

What is it with these player cards? (And what is it with those keys?)
Now we can see player cards when competing in All Stars I thought this might be a great way to assess the competition. But what do I make of this one I'm competing against? How can a player at level 108 have completed 149 levels in the past seven days? And while I'm here, why haven't King fixed those keys yet? I've just…

Maths calculations for participant numbers
Is there anyone out there good at maths and can check if I get these numbers right? I posted similar calculations last year but of course all the All Stars posts have been deleted by King since. A lot of players get confused by the scale of the event and think they are almost there when there are millions still in the…

I'm bored with this already. Why are these qualifying rounds so long?
Is it even possible to NOT qualify for the knockout stages? There are only 10 players per leaderboard and the top five get through. By my maths that means half of all Candy Crush players go through to the next round. And the other half that didn't make it gets a second chance a week later… It's all too drawn out and…
