Fake live leaderboard events
I am quite shocked by the findings I am making with the Valentine Cake event. To be fair the official info for this event makes it quite clear that this is not a live leaderboard: No terms and conditions, and the way the information is all phrased is pretty much like other fake events (episode race, weekly contest etc).…

The results are in: What the Valentine qualifiers taught me
Here my results from five leaderboards in the Valentine event qualifiers: All these accounts started within 45 minutes of the event, so played three full days. Scores per level are an average over all the levels played, so are more accurate for players who passed the most levels. Final position Score per level levels…

New feature: Sweet Choice..... What????
Update Feb 2026: This feature is very basic: It picks levels apparently at random and gives levels a harder label by removing a few moves.

How does the game determine level difficulty?

Opponents on live leaderboards: random or fixed? Real or fake?
For one reason or another I have hardly played Candy Crush in the past two weeks. This has lead to some interesting discoveries as prize palooza shows up. My theory is that we are each given bespoke opponents by the game to match our own activity. So having been inactive in all my accounts I should be seeing easier…

Please remove the misleading "green button" features from the game!
This is my plea to stop the deliberate inclusion of certain features in the game, which quite frankly take advantage of any player who: plays in a rush is distracted and not paying attention to their game has difficulties understanding complex language or lacks good English skills (many players in Asia play in English but…

January 2026 Winter Cup finals experience
I was taking a nostalgic tour into past Winter Cup threads and it saddens me how the game has changed. There were over 500 posts in 2023/24 and such a bustle of enthusiasm. Those were the days when players still had control over their achievements and strategies gave us control. Then I came across this thread from a year…
