Based on the famous but complicated arcade game. The Claw – One player would hang over the on-the-floor board while the partner navigated the hanger.The catch was that they were placed back to back and spinning around throughout in a random manner. Spin Cycle – Both players on the team in control would swing side to side facing the stand-up big board.The Balloon – One player would swing in the air facing the stand-up big board, with his/her partner holding him/her by a rope.Sugar Swing – While suspended over the on-the-floor board, one player would use a long pointer to make the matches while his/her partner navigated.Candy Cart – The team in control would wheel around the on-the-floor board on a two-person cart trying to make the matches.The teams (who were stuck together) had to clear the frosting by making matches near it, and then make matches to drop the hazelnut to the bottom of the board. Stuck on You – A hazelnut at the top of the board was surrounded by frosting.
Licorice Maze – One player from each team would scramble through three Licorice Mazes and then remove a Licorice Lock by making a match by swiping an unlocked piece.The first team to four points won the round. Once the candy reached the box, the swiper had to match that candy in order to move on. A candy would appear on their boards and that would be the candy the throwers would throw into a box in front of their partners. Candy Toss – One member of each team were the throwers and their partners were the swipers.
In the early rounds, the teams competed in a series of qualifying games for the right to play a two minute physical challenge of their choosing. In the game show, four teams competed for $100,000. Candy Crush is a "Match 3" game where the player has to line up three candy pieces by swiping or clicking to score and remove them from the board and matching more than three (either four or five) gives the player a special bonus or power to remove other candies from the board.
