Using multiple devices to play Candy Crush gives you a few advantages when it comes to the five-lives limit (with one generated every 30 minutes). Playing on your phone, tablet, and computer allows you five lives on each. You can also ask for lives from the same Facebook friend on each device (each device doesn’t know that you’ve already asked that person for a life). As soon as a life is received, you can turn around and ask that same person for another, and so on (or until they unfriend you).
