Life lessons from playing candy crush

You'll eventually pass the level

Sometimes, it feels like we’re stuck on one point for ages, and sometimes it’s true- we are. But if we keep going anyway, we eventually get past it.

Money makes things easier

When you can buy the stuff you need to clear the level, you don’t have to try as hard and fail as much.

consistency wins you more rewards

The more consistently you play, the more gifts there are and the easier it is to accumulate gifts/winnings.

but so does winning consistently

The more you win, the easier it is to win and the more stuff you get, just for winning

you'll get more out of planned expenses than unplanned expenses.

It’s easy to buy cheap offers of game chips and it feels like you’re spending very little, but when you add up the spend, it would most likely have been better for you to spend that total upfront and get way more rewards and chips for your money. You’re more likely to get more for spending a big sum upfront than spending little sums here and there and getting less for your money.

Same thing as planned time vs unplanned time

If you plan when you play, you can get time-sensitive rewards and maximise it to get more game points- the same way planning out something before you do it will often lead to better results than just doing it randomly.

You’re more likely to complete things when you know what you’re supposed to do 

If you don’t know what the metrics are for completing the level, you might fail just based on that alone because you’re trying to do something different from what the game has asked. If you don’t know why you’re doing something or what you want to get at the end of it, you might just keep doing things pointlessly and getting nothing out of it.

Sometimes you’re just trying to relax and it’s not that deep

Forget everything you just read and just play the game sometimes- not everything has to be productive or sensible- sometimes it’s just fun!
