CANDYCRUSH
ALL STARS


2025 All Stars Campaign
Karaoke Sing-Along Film








Builders Club was brought on by No Problem to create the latest campaign film for Candy Crush All Stars, centred on the iconic anthem “All Star” by Smash Mouth. The film transforms the track into a tournament-wide karaoke experience, inviting every Candy player to join in.

As Art Director, I worked with a talented team to design a hyper-saccharine, tactile environment, building a vibrant CGI world where lyrics burst to life in playful, candy-coated form. Colorbombs explode, candies tumble in hypnotic rhythms, and gameplay syncs seamlessly with the music. Floating karaoke-style lyrics guide viewers through a surreal animated journey, while stylised Candy Crush elements and iconic game candies ground the world in familiarity. The result is a joyful, sensory homage to both the gameplay and the spirit of the tournament.

Below showcases a selection of work + r&d from the talented team I worked with on this project.
