The Race Is On to Create as Many 'Candy' Games as Possible

A group of independent game developers, upset over the Candy Crush Saga creator trademarking the word "candy," are on a mission to make as many games including "candy" as possible — as quickly as possible.

Two developers launched The Candy Jam on Tuesday, a period of time during which developers must complete a game before Feb. 4. The event encourages developers to "fight trademark trolling by making games," according to its website. The games must involve candies and consider using terms like "saga" in the game's title or description "for bonus points."
