A new event inCookie Run:Kingdomhasfans questioning everything, as they struggle to get past early levels without the ability to move diagonally. The Secret Garden event inCookie Run: Kingdomcame alongside the February 2025 update that brought a new story to follow and new cookies to collect.
While the Secret Garden event looks simple on paper, the actual mechanics of the minigamehave fans wondering why Devsisters decided to make moving diagonally impossible.A recent Reddit post fromRi_sallhighlights the known issues with the new event, and though most still find it quite fun, others are frustrated with the difficulty level of such a simple minigame.
Cookie Run: Kingdom Secret Garden Event Has Fans Wishing There Were More Options
When You Need To Zig But Are Forced To Zag
The Secret Garden event is jam-packed with rewards to earn and decor to collect. How the event minigame works is simple;players must build a Secret Garden with the Sugar Gnomes by placing buildings on the board and merging them to earn points.Each building that is placed costs Coins, and players need the same two buildings next to each other to merge them. The issue here is that users are unable to move these buildings diagonally, meaning it is much harder to merge buildings without filling the board entirely and losing the minigame.

The Reddit post brings up this “non-diagonal movement” issue, stating"I love how everyone just agrees this specific part of the event really sucks and its mainly because of this specific issue.“Commenters chimed in to agree with the OP, including userAdmirable_Jeweler_33who writes,“Yeah this event can drain your soul if you aren’t fully prepared.“While this does indeed make the minigame more difficult, fans have found a workaround for earning the prizes.
