Mobile game bestseller "Candy Crush" has made its way to television to the delight of the digital game's countless fans. Host Mario Lopez also made his way to the three "Candy Crush Saga" mobile games.
The virtual cartoon Lopez will appear in the games, hosting special events and giving away virtual prizes. Here is a breakdown of events:
Each week in "Candy Crush Saga," players are given four mini-challenges to finish. These are similar to the giant-sized challenges that contestants are given on the TV show. Players can claim a prize for each mini-challenge they complete. Once they complete all four challenges, a treasure chest full of prizes awaits them.
In the game "Candy Crush Soda Saga," players choose between four teams from the TV show's contestants for that week. Each team is then provided with a game objective. Gamers play the game as normal, while an in-game tracker keeps track of their progress. The winning team will be given a pick from a selection of different rewards.
Lastly, in "Candy Crush Jelly Saga," players are faced with a single challenge that they need to complete in a set amount of time. Players receive rewards for reaching the goal within the time frame.
The show aired on CBS on Sunday featuring contestants from previous seasons of Big Brother and Survivor competing for the prize of $100,000.
One of the most successful mobile games ever, "Candy Crush" is once again attempting to make its mark on history by tying up the mobile game with a live-action TV show in a way that has never been done before. Long-time fans and new players alike will be excited for the events that this new tie-up will release. The success of this endeavor may also jumpstart a new trend in the mobile gaming and television industries.
