Art Student From Brazil Crowned 2026 Candy Crush All Stars Champion

The final stage transformed casual mobile gameplay into a high-stakes spectacle. Finalists from the United States, Germany, Spain, and beyond gathered on stage to compete under the scrutiny of fans and media. The event introduced a high-intensity bonus round, testing reflexes and speed, which awarded an additional $10,000 to the quickest player.

Luana’s prize includes a unique piece of jewelry crafted by Icebox. The championship ring features a spinning blue 'Wrapped Candy' dome at its center, surrounded by sapphires, rubies, and emeralds fashioned into iconic game elements like Colorbombs and clusters. For the champion, the transition from a smartphone screen to a physical podium was surreal. 'I never imagined it would one day take me to a live stage in London,' said Luana, who began playing the game as a casual pastime.

King President Todd Green noted that the tournament serves as a demonstration of how mobile gaming can foster high-level skill and community connection. Among the notable participants were Ingrid and German, a husband and wife from California’s Bay Area who reached the finals independently. Following the event, King continues to highlight the game's longevity, as it remains a staple in mobile entertainment more than a decade after its initial release.
