Ever wondered who created the sweet, addictive world of Candy Crush that has captured the hearts of millions? Let’s dive into the sugary history of this popular game.

Who thought of mixing candies in a game that has become a global phenomenon? The answer might surprise you.

The Genius Behind Candy Crush

Riccardo Zacconi is the mastermind who invented Candy Crush. He co-founded King, the company that developed Candy Crush, in 2003. However, Candy Crush itself was launched on April 12, 2012, and quickly became one of the most loved mobile games around the world.

The concept of matching candies to create explosions of sweetness on your screen was an instant hit. Players swap adjacent candies to form rows or columns of three or more candies of the same color, trying to achieve various objectives.
