Nineteen-year-old Shubham Kumar from Dighwara, Bihar, has achieved a remarkable feat, earning a place in the International Book of Records for reaching an extraordinary level in the popular mobile game, Candy Crush Saga.
Kumar was officially recognized for attaining Level 22,222 in the "Highest Level Achieved in Candy Crush Saga (Teenager)" category. The record was officially logged on July 5, 2026, when he was 19 years, 8 months, and 25 days old.
A Testament to Gaming Dedication
While many play Candy Crush Saga casually during breaks, Kumar's consistent engagement over several years has propelled him to an elite tier of players. The game, known for its escalating difficulty, presents increasingly complex challenges as players advance through its thousands of stages, requiring strategic matching of candies to complete specific objectives.
Beyond the Record: Continuing the Journey
Interestingly, Level 22,222 is not the highest point Kumar has reached. He later shared on the official Candy Crush community that he had progressed even further, surpassing Level 23,165. However, his official recognition by the International Book of Records remains tied to the 22,222 milestone.
Candy Crush's Enduring Appeal
Shubham Kumar's achievement underscores the sustained global popularity of Candy Crush Saga. For over a decade, the game has maintained its status as one of the most recognizable mobile puzzle titles, with a vast community of players worldwide continually striving for higher levels. The official Candy Crush community itself celebrated players reaching the 23,000-level mark in August 2026, demonstrating the game's expansive progression and its dedicated player base.
