While Candy Crush Saga is known to be the sweetest game out
there, with this tournament it is time to get serious! Anyone who

the very first swipe, players will be unleashed in a contest
against the nation’s Crushers that will bring out competitive
spirits like never before. As tournament host, Khloé Kardashian
will be showcasing her competitive side and hyping up players from
across the country to do the same. A longtime fan of the game,
throughout the tournament she will invite celebrity friends to join
in on the fun. Watch a video of Kardashian announcing the

“I love competition, and I’m a fan of the game, so hosting this
tournament is super fun for me,” said Kardashian. “Anyone who knows
me knows that I think I’m the most competitive in my family, and
it’s no different when it comes to Candy Crush. This game has
always provided an outlet for me to release my inner competitor.
The All-Stars tournament offers the perfect opportunity to take my
crushing skills to the next level. I wish the best of luck to
everyone playing and look forward to crowning the first-ever Candy
Crush All Star! For now, get those fingers warmed up and get
practicing!”
Since 2012, Candy Crush Saga has become a global phenomenon,
attracting hundreds of millions of players from around the world
and maintaining its status as one of the most played mobile games
year in and year out. Now, King is inviting players to put their
skills to the test and crush the competition across the country in
the hopes of being crowned the nation’s No.1 Crusher! The
tournament kicks off on September 23 at 8 a.m. EDT. It is free to
play and can be accessed by all who have passed Level 25 in the
Candy Crush Saga app. The Qualifier Rounds take place from
September 23 to October 7, but if you don’t qualify, don’t get sour
yet! Players will have a last chance to qualify in two Wild Card
Rounds. Once qualified, only the strongest Crushers will progress
throughout the Quarter Finals, Semi-Final and the digital Final in
November, where Khloé Kardashian will help crown America’s first
Candy Crush All Star and award them a years’ supply of gold
bars!
“For almost 10 years, Candy Crush Saga has been one of the most
popular mobile games across the world, having been downloaded over
three billion times,” said Todd Green, Head of Candy Crush Saga.
“Now, players all over the country who have prided themselves on
being the best can lay it on the line and face off. We’re excited
to let the games begin and look forward to seeing who is truly
worthy of being named the nation’s No.1 Crusher.”
