Candy Crush Level 252 Video

Level 252 is a Timed level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to score 15,000 points in 30 seconds. In order to complete a Timed level, you have to reach a certain score in a certain amount of time. Its more difficult than it seems, since you don't really have time to think about the moves you're making.

How to Beat Timed Levels:

  • Some of the candies have +5's on them. Match these candies! They'll give you five extra seconds in the round, which could be the difference between winning and losing.
  • The timed levels can vary a lot in time, so watch out! Some of them can be as short as fifteen seconds.
  • Some timed levels still have blockers on them, so watch out for them.
  • If you've achieved the minimum score but still have time left, stop playing unless there are no blockers on the board. There's no point losing a level that you have already won.
  • Sugar crushes can be a huge advantage on these levels! Any special candies that you have formed, but that haven't been activated yet, will be activated by a sugar crush. This will get you a HUGE amount of points.

Bonus Tip: Speed Matching

AI

In timed levels, speed beats perfection. Quick matches anywhere beat slow perfect matches. Let cascades work for you while you scan for the next move.

Assuming you get through the early stages of this round, once you take off it goes on forever. Yes, really, forever. You have only 4 colours, you get +5 gems like confetti and blow them up en-masse and your clock never runs out. Plus you get loads of wrapped candy explosions to rake up the millions. I got bored and had to just stop and let the clock run out.

Cassie, you are so right. I do not like the time levels, but this one did seem to go on forever. Like you, I received over a million points. I must say after the hard levels it is nice to get to play some easy ones.

I got over 30 million points. I just let it go, go go and it went for almost an hour. But then I really needed to go to the bathroom… ;^)
