These Mystery Quests can be tricky, but they follow the same mechanics as any of the other levels.
The Mystery Quest option only shows up if you have not synced your progress with Facebook. It looks like the game would rather you buy it or bother your friends than give you an easy option to keep playing for free.
If you happen to be stuck at the jump-off point to the next stage of levels, check to see whether or not this option shows up under "pay $0.99 to play instantly" and "ask your friends on Facebook." Most of you will not. It is a little more time-consuming but it is FREE. You can only complete one every 24 hours, and you will need to complete three of them in order to earn enough keys to progress. There are extra levels that you can complete in order to earn (sour) keys. But there is a secret third option! Mystery Quests What are Mystery Quests?
CANDY CRUSH SODA 455 FULL
Neither of these options are very pleasant to most people (unless you have a full friend circle that enjoys helping each other out in silly social media games). Bother your friends on Facebook to give you tickets to proceed.
CANDY CRUSH SODA 455 PLUS
If you were like most people and connected Candy Crush to your Facebook profile (a good idea if you want to play on multiple devices, plus you can take advantage of the daily bonus wheel), you'll only be able to see two options to continue:
CANDY CRUSH SODA 455 FREE
But if you want free and you're looking for a way around shelling out (and once you start, the fun don't stop), keep reading. If you've been paying your way through, this shouldn't be a great concern for you. Whether you've paid to keep playing (no judgment), or you've ground through countless lives and idled through the 20 minute wait times, if you've got past level 35, you will realize that you are no longer able to progress. Perhaps you were like me and had gotten there without giving in to the frustrated impulse to pay real money to keep playing when you run out of lives, or when you have one more jelly square that you need to break and you're fresh out of lollipops.īut at least with Candy Crush, I have options. If you've gotten past the first hurdle of Lemonade Lake in Candy Crush, you'll understand what I mean. If I had my choice, I would rather pay for a game without being nickel-and-dimed to death.
