I started playing Candy Crush - only because the news said it was addictive, which made me curious - but now I’m stuck. I’ve gotten to level 65, and there’s no way to go farther without Facebook or money. I refuse to pay, so I need to know how to game Facebook to get further. I have 3 facebook accounts with made up names, which I was able to use for enough lives to get this far, but it doesn’t seem to be enough any more. I have no desire to have a real Facebook account - only fakes to use for games. So how do I connect with other Facebook accounts that could give me a boost to go farther in this silly and yes, addictive, game? ---

I quit playing a while ago so I don’t remember the details but if you join a fan site or two people post their (usually fake) face book pages for CC on there. If you friend them and all of their friends, you’ll have dozens of CC friends in a day or so. I’ll PM you my fake FB page. Friend me and PM me your page name, and then all you have to do is friend request from my list. ---

That is friend _request_ me and I will accept the friendship. ---

If you already have 3 fake facebook accounts that’s all you need. Just ask your fake accounts for tickets at the end of each section and you have no need to buy anything. Lives will completely recharge every 2.5 hours. ---

You know, my mom’s been having trouble with a certain Facebook game, and stupid me never even thought of helping her out by making a fake account. ---

Thank you so much, **hajario**. I sent the request. I’m working from an ipod now, so I’ll check on a real computer at work tomorrow. **Mr Shine** , the three accounts don’t help as much as I’d like somehow, since you don’t get the same options as a full computer. Or maybe you do and I’m just a techtard. But I’m getting help now. Yay SDMB! ---

OK, I _am_ a techtard - or at least a Facebooktard. I put Candy Crush into the “find friends” field and got to the page, but for the life of me, I can’t find a place to make a friend request. I don’t have these problems with web pages - is Facebook a difficult page? It seems cluttered. Little help, please? ---

Request friendship from them, especially the ones with candy pictures as their avatar. These accounts exist for playing Candy Crush and giving tickets and extra lives to each other. ---

You can get past level 65. They can all be beaten with some luck. But, basically, you have to create some of your own luck; don’t make a move if the setup isn’t right. For LEvel 65, start the level but do not make a move unless; 1. You can, on your first move, finish a 4 or 5-candy line that will also destroy a chocolate, and 2. You can see that you are certain to have a move AFTER that that will also destroy a chocolate. Remember that \*\*if you don’t make any move you don’t lose a life. \*\* If the above conditions are not met, immediately exit and go back in. You keep all your lives, but you get a completely new random setup. Then in level 65 in particular, kill the chocolate first, and then put all your effort into creating a supercandy and marrying it to a striped candy. Following these rules I just now beat level 65 with 8 moves to spare (3 starts, 228060 score.) No cheats, no money spent. But I exited twice without making a move to get a good setup. Waiting for a good setup is everything. ---

Thanks, **hajario**. I’ll take a look at that at lunch. I’m still gobsmacked at the idea of level 200 - how high does it go?!?!? And **RickJay** , thank you ever so much for the strategy. I don’t think I would’ve come up with it on my own. The game felt sorry for me soon after I started this thread, and a Tooth Fairy granted me access to Level 65 & beyond. I guess it felt sorry for me practicing level 60-65 over & over. I did get to level 69 on my own, but only 1 star each. I’ll be better armed with a game plan, I think. ---

I stopped at 201 but it goes to at least 450. There are plenty of strategy sites out there where people discuss specific strategy for each level. The one I used was [crushingcandies.com](http://crushingcandies.com). ---

I’m at level 460 and I haven’t paid a cent. Level 181 was the worst. Level 435 is my favorite. Sometimes I just play it over and over again for the hell of it.
