The final rounds saw competitors from the United States, Germany, Spain, and beyond gather to test their speed and strategy. The event marked a shift for the franchise, introducing a high-intensity bonus round that awarded an additional $10,000 to the fastest player, further escalating the pressure beyond standard gameplay. Among the finalists were Ingrid and German, a husband-and-wife duo from California’s Bay Area who reached the stage independently.

Beyond the prize money, Luana received a custom championship ring crafted by Icebox. The piece features a rotating blue Wrapped Candy dome set among sapphires, rubies, and emeralds shaped like the game's iconic power-ups. For Todd Green, President at King, the event served as a testament to the competitive potential of casual mobile titles. Luana, reflecting on her journey from a casual player to a global champion, noted that the game had evolved from a way to pass small moments into a life-changing professional achievement.
