Supplemental context
Candy Crush Saga makes a repeated matching action into a progression through designed puzzle levels. King's tenth-anniversary corporate announcement identifies November 2012 as the mobile launch period and describes the game as match-three. For a future audience, the selection can illuminate how small sessions of screen play fit into everyday routines, but the software itself is not evidence that every player used it on a commute. A useful archive would distinguish particular builds and platforms and preserve accounts of how people played, alongside the publisher's account of success. That combination would reveal more than a familiar arrangement of colored sweets.
Creator/community: King development teams and Candy Crush Saga players Place/era: King mobile game; 2012 launch period, with platform-specific release history
