The Cookie Run: Kingdom community is split between players who enjoyed the recent Secret Garden event’s content and those who found it rather “awful.” Cookie Run: Kingdom players discussed the different aspects of the event but couldn’t come to an agreement on whether it was good or bad.

Cookie Run: Kingdom is a popular game where players build their own kingdom, combining gacha elements, team-based combat, and city-building mechanics. The game’s developer, Devsisters, steadily releases updates and content to keep Cookie Run: Kingdom fresh and engaging, and that includes events. The latest one, Secret Garden, introduced a mini-game where players needed to design a garden by placing decorations on a grid. The event has already concluded, but players can’t seem to agree on how it played out.

A player known as Far-Mathematician764 initiated a discussion on Reddit about the Secret Garden event that took place in Cookie Run: Kingdom from February to March. The player labeled the event as “awful,” explaining that it made them feel dumb, especially after failing due to just one error. Moreover, they admitted they couldn’t get past level 9. The player received a lot of support from others in the community who felt the same way. One player mentioned that they found the mechanic kind of “addictive,” saying it was like a “mentally abusive Candy Crush.”

Some players argued that the idea of the event was nice—just like many other features introduced in Cookie Run: Kingdom in the past—but that its execution was poor, with frustrating drawbacks. One player believed that the game itself was fun, though not properly balanced, as some items were more useful than others. Additionally, many players complained about the difficulty, saying it took them a “huge amount of time and focus” to reach level 12, with mistakes being severely punished and no opportunity to correct them.

Even though some players liked parts of the event and thought that, with some tweaks, it could play out better in the future, others enjoyed it as it was. Positive comments emphasized how the mini-game gave players something to do while they waited in town squares. One player said they enjoyed it because it offered free rewards, even earning them Cookie Run: Kingdom’s Shadow Milk Cookie. The Secret Garden event has already ended, and with the community split on it, Devsisters will need to assess the results and decide what to do if the event ever happens again.
