Cookie Run: Kingdomis a constantly changing game. Whether it be the introduction of new cookies, new costumes, or limited-time mini-games for certain events, fans can be certain that there will always be something that they can enjoy. However, it seems that one new mini-game has achieved quite the opposite effect.

The Secret Garden has prompted frustrated reactions from playerssince its release. The mini-game is a recent addition toCookie Run: Kingdom, which will be available to players during late February and early March. Many players have been tempted to give up on the game, but there are a few strategies to make it less strenuous.

Keep Your Highest Level Items In The Corners

Try To Organize Your Board And Think Carefully About Your Next Moves

To get the highest score, you need to optimize the space on the board as much as possible. I originally tried merging the items into the middle, butit’s a lot more efficient to keep the highest-level items in one corner,focusing on whichever one ends up getting the most items next to it at the start. I’ve had the most trouble when I end up with high-level items far away from each other on the board, as I end up clogging the space between them.

You have the most control over the board when there are fewer squares available, so I like to fill the board up and then only focus on a portion of it. I’ll usuallystart a round by completely filling the board up, then merging the items together to create space in an area that will be convenient for the next one.It’s important for the board to be orderly, so you can clearly plan out your next move.

When & Where To Use Hammers And Choco Rewinds

These Are Helpful Items To Use, But Are Difficult To Obtain

The Secret Garden mini-game came with some new items. The first of these is the “Seal of Approval”, which is a form of event currency used to buy the “Slammin' Hammer” that deletes any item on the board. Then there’s the “Choco Rewindo” (used to undo up to three actions), and Gnome blueprints, which allow you to place an item somewhere of your choosing. These are all extremely helpful and can win you games. However,they should be used sparingly, and only when you’re far into a game, as it’s very tricky to maintain a supply of them.

you may also earn some of these items by completing missions. You can leave the secret garden mini-game and come back to where you left off, meaning if you find yourself stuck, you can quickly pop out of the game to complete some missions or use up your seals.Hammers are more versatile than rewinds,and should be used when a specific item is in your way.

It’s generally a good idea to use gnome blueprints before rewinds or hammers, since they can prevent the need for the latter two.

Rewinds can be used to undo your last action, and are great for fixing mistakes— whether you accidentally merged the wrong items together, or merged them onto the wrong square. The game only ends when the player has a full board of unmergeable items, so you may want to consider keeping two of the same items next to each other without merging them to prevent a game-over. This will give you freedom to pick out which items are the best ones to remove and get yourself back on track.

Know When To Restart: Ending A Round Gives You Helpful Items

Sometimes, The Best Thing To Do Is Give Yourself A Fresh Start

Though many players may not like hearing this, the best piece of advice for this mini-game is to know when to restart.After a while, you will run out of seals, Choco rewinds, Slammin' hammers and Gnome Blueprints gathered from outside rewards, and will likely run into a dead end. If this happens early on, then you will be much better off restarting the game. Ending a round will reward you with certain items which can make future rounds easier — if you manage to get up to at least level nine, you can occasionally earn hammers and blueprints.

You earn 25 seals of approval for every level past level three, but will only earn complementary items past level nine. You also earn star jellies, bites, topping pieces, and crystals, but they aren’t relevant to this mini-game. At level 12, you can also earn Lights of Absolute Truth forAwakened Pure Vanilla Cookie’s Gacha inCookie Run: Kingdom. Since rewinds can’t be earned this way, you can only gain a finite number of them, so unless you are very far in, you should really prioritize other strategies before using them.

This mini-game also ties into the “Chest of Trophies” event. Every level six item in the secret garden will earn you 1,000 points. This is another way of earning Pure Vanilla’s soulstones, but it also has a high chance of rewardingBlack Sapphire Cookie’ssoulstones. The Secret Garden is a limited-time mini-game inCookie Run: Kingdom, so you should try to get to level 12 before the event ends.
