why do we play Candy Crush?


In addition to the Base Camp, climbers have to reach Camp 1,Camp 2, Camp 3 and Camp 4 before they finally embark on the final stretch to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Only 5 camps to reach the highest mountain in the world.

In contrast, Candy Crush has hundreds of levels. You can see players in the streets, in the trains, on buses, in schools, at work and everywhere. They will be furiously trying to create the striped candies, the wrapped candies and the ultimate Color Bomb. And you can never seem to outrun the Chocolate pieces which multiply incessantly.

For many of us, playing Candy Crush seems to be a losing proposition. We can never win and many a times we are tempted to open our wallets to buy Color Bombs in order to whack those pesky Chocolate pieces. And we moan and groan when we run out of lives and have to wait 72 hours to play, unless we start pestering our Facebook friends to help.

But that is precisely why we play Candy Crush. It's all these agony we go through that makes it fun. Even though we may never complete all the hundreds of levels, Candy Crush is our base camp. It gives us hope. It keeps our dreams alive and that maybe we will be given a treasure trove of Color Bombs. Don't stop Crushing. #bcc #whynot

"Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!

There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.

And the magical things you can do with that ball

will make you the winning-est winner of all.

Fame! You'll be as famous as famous can be,

with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.

Except when they don't

Because, sometimes they won't.

I'm afraid that some times

you'll play lonely games too.

Games you can't win

'cause you'll play against you."

Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!
