Hi,

There is a challenge running on Candy Crush right now, where one can win boosters by collecting certain kinds of candies which are only spawned on specially marked levels, as explained herein.

Certain levels are shown on the map with a raised, bouncing platform icon with the letter "C". These are the challenge levels:



When you play these levels, cascades of a certain length (not terribly long... possibly 3 or 4 chains) will cause a candy to turn into a "C" candy:



When you match these special candies, they go into the collection jar:

This is located on the left.where the ingredients/order lists are located.

At the end of the level, whether you pass it or not, the "C" candies from your jar get added to your running total, which also shows up when you open a challenge-marked level to play it:

When you hit a certain number, you receive a reward. I got the first reward at 42 -- lollipop, free switch, striped and wrapped. I now have to collect 72 (starting from 0 again) for my next reward. Not sure how many rewards there are, but when I claimed the reward it showed me a total progress bar of 42 out of 400 something... so there are a few.


 * you can only play each "special" level once. Then the "C" goes away, so don't "try again" if you fail it, at least not before checking the map to see if the level is still marked.


 * you are awarded the special candies collected regardless of whether you pass the level.


 * I noticed the insanely hard and some very hard levels are the ones they picked for this challenge.

Maybe you guys already know. I didn't, and found no info on it with a quick google. Apologies if this is not "news" to some (or to anyone).

Best regards,
