If they finished the level before the taxi reached its drop-off point, the fare was waived.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service operated on a limited route between Cooper Classic Cars in Greenwich Village and one of two drop-off points: Hudson Yards Public Squares &amp; Gardens and Hair of the Dog at 168 Orchard Street.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event took place on June 30 to coincide with a public viewing of the France vs Sweden World Cup match in New York. Organizers described the route as short and focused on a promotional area rather than covering the city.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign formed part of the Candy Crush Soccer Season tournament and linked to other football-themed events held around the World Cup. Candy Crush branding appeared on the taxis and on nearby posters used to direct passengers to the booking QR codes.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizers presented Candy Cabs as a temporary, experiential promotion connected to the game&#8217;s World Cup activities rather than a regular transportation service. The limited service window and confined route restricted trips to short, targeted journeys within Manhattan.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Candy Crush Saga has previously staged themed promotions tied to sporting events and tournaments; Candy Cabs combined an on-the-ground activation with an in-app challenge tied to the Soccer Season tournament.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Candy Crush launched Candy Cabs in Manhattan on June 30; riders who scan a QR code, reserve a slot and complete a Candy Crush level
