A 19-year-old from Bihar, Shubham Kumar, reaches Level 22,222 in Candy Crush Saga and is recognized by the International Book of Records, reports say. Outlets identify him as a student from Government Engineering College in Siwan and note the record is specifically for the highest level reached by a teenager.
The coverage largely focuses on the milestone itself and the official recognition. One outlet adds that after setting the record, Kumar says he continues to play and reaches further levels within the King community, indicating continued participation rather than a one-time achievement. Another notes that a Bihar government department congratulates him following the recognition. While details such as additional progress and the exact congratulatory source vary by outlet, all accounts describe the same level, the same player, and the same international-record entry.
