What is the pink ribbon and +3 Extra Moves in Candy Crush?
This is not to be confused with the +5 Moves booster which you need to purchase and which you can choose to purchase at any time during a game. This post is talking about the +3 Extra Moves Boosters in Candy Crush Saga which you can send to your friends for free.An explanation to +3 Extra Moves boosters, pink bow or pink ribbon in Candy Crush Saga
An extra move booster gives you additional 3 moves to the game. Each booster can only be used for one game. A disadvantage of this booster is that you have to choose whether to use it before the game, rather than during the game when you know that you just need a few more moves and you could clear the level. Hence the usefulness of this extra moves booster is kinda limited. Sometimes when you chose to use it, the game board is so unfavourable that you will never clear that level even if it is a 10 extra moves booster!
That said, an Extra Moves booster does not cost you money as it is sent to you from your friends, like extra lives.
When you receive an Extra Moves booster from your friend, a pink ribbon bow will show up on the level to show you that you have available Extra Moves booster to use.
How to send or receive +3 Extra Moves boosters from your friends
There is no way for you to ask for extra moves from your friends. However, when you are stuck for a couple of days on a particular level, the game will prompt YOUR friends to send you extra moves.
If you notice when you start Candy Crush, there will be a window asking you whether you wish to send Extra Moves booster to your friends - for eg. so and so is stuck on Level 132 for 15 days. Check it with a tick and an Extra Moves booster will be sent to your friend.
So do not expect to receive Extra Moves for every level from your friends, especially if you are "not stuck for long enough", so to speak.
How to use the extra moves boosters from your friends
If you received extra moves from your friends for a level, you would see a pink ribbon before you start the game as one of the options of boosters for you to choose.
You may select it and your next game for the same level will have 3 extra moves.
Take note : you must select it before you start the game, you cannot select it in mid-game. The Extra Moves given to you for a particular level can only be used for that same level.

| How to select +3 Extra Moves in Candy Crush |
Thank you for the info but for some reason my friend doesn't receive any extra moves like I do and I can't figure out how to change her settings so that she can. I play on my iPad and she has galaxy 2...7 inch and she really needs the help. I tried to change settings on FB but it didn't work. Can you suggest something?
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, I have updated this post to include more information and also to address your friend's problem regarding the lack of extra moves boosters. There is no setting to change regarding extra moves boosters. You might be prompted to send her extra moves (if she is your facebook friend) if she is stuck for a couple of days on the same level.

DeleteMy wife and I are having the same problem. We can send extra moves to all of our CC friends except each other. My wife does not receive extra moves at all from anyone. We are friends and of course family. I have checked the settings for Candy Crush and don't see anything different. Any idea on how to fix this?
DeleteHey curly jim. I know its been a while aince you posted about your wife not getting the +3 move boosters luke you do. Did you ever figure it out? I have tjat exact issue with my wifes game. Just never jave seen anyone refer to this exactly so was checking if you ever figured it out is all. Thanks

DeleteThank you very much for this information on how to use the +3 moves! No wonder I couldn't figure out how to use it during my game...lol. I have to use it before I start, which does suck. Not sure why the developers made it that way. But thank you for clearing that up.
ReplyDeleteI have friends sending me extra moves I'm on level 86 but no pink ribbon? but the extra moves are in my envelope where my extra lives are. you should be able to use the extra moves like you do the extra lives please someone fix this
ReplyDeleteThe pink ribbon will only show up on the particular level that your friends sent you pink ribbons for. You cannot use it for other levels.
DeleteHi. I was wondering if anyone can help. I'm on Level 76, but the pink bow shows up on level 66. when try to use the extra moves my friends send me, it does not work. Anyone knows what's going on?
ReplyDeletethat's because the extra moves booster that your friends sent to you is limited for use at that particular level for which it was sent
DeleteI'm with u Karla. I'm on level 421 & have about 150 extra moves booster, but it want let me use them on these higher levels. (That's y i have so many) y do i get these boosters if i can't use them.
ReplyDeletethat's because the extra moves booster that your friends sent to you is limited for use at that particular level for which it was sent. in this case, you have to wait for friends to send you a booster for level 421.
DeleteIm on a level-91 and the pink ribbon is showing up on it and I have a ton of the extra moves given by friends; however it is NOT letting me use them on that level! I understand how to use them, but it does not show up when I select to play that level as shown in the picture above you provided when you can select boosters before you play...what am I doing wrong???
ReplyDeleteI was use to hitting the heart in the upper right corner to send friends extra moves, but for quite awhile now it only gives me the same four people and 4 spots where it says add friends. The add friends is only for friends who aren't playing Candy Crush. I use to also be able to hit the heart over and over and it would bring up more friends I hadn't sent the moves to yet. How do I fix this please? thanks -Suzanne
ReplyDeleteHi there, I actually found your page b/c I was searching for info on the &3 moves boosters. You said above:"Each booster can only be used for one game". What I'm trying to find out is if I can use two &3 move boosters from friends that are for the same level together(meaning I would have 6 extra moves total). So I just wanted to double check, do you mean that each booster can only be used for the particular level that they're given for or do you mean (like in my case), that I'd need to use the 2 &3 move boosters I recieved for 2 different games on the same level? I know that sounded a little confusing but hopefully you get what I mean. I'd like to just use them together but don't want to end up losing one. Also, this has nothing to do w/ that but I wanted to mention as far as the pink ribbon, for me it only appears after I've already used the booster on that level. I usually play on my phone though so maybe it's different if you play online. Only reason I'm mentioning it, is that some ppl seem confused about it. Anyway, if you could answer my ? that would be great. I'm on level 480 and it's pure evil lol. I need all the help I can get! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFor the +3 moves booster, you can only use one per game. In simple terms, you can only add 3 more moves per game. You can have more than one +3 moves booster (use one per game separately) if you receive from more than 1 friend. Each particular booster can only be used for the level it was given for.
