What Is The Cookie Run Kingdom Summer Night Campfire Event?
The Summer Night Campfire event transforms Cookie Run Kingdom into a delightful cooking simulator where you’ll roast marshmallows, bake sweet potatoes, and grill raw jellies for your favorite cookies.

How to Play The Summer Night Campfire Event in CRK?
Getting Started: The Basics
When I first jumped into the Summer Night Campfire event, I was overwhelmed by all the mechanics. Here’s everything you need to know to get started:
1. Understanding Roll Cake Logs
- You receive 100 Roll Cake Logs daily (resets at server reset time)
- Easy orders cost 10 logs each
- Medium orders cost more logs but offer better rewards
- Hard orders provide the best rewards but consume the most logs
2. The Invitation System You can invite any cookie from your collection to join the campfire party. Each cookie will request specific dishes based on the difficulty level you choose. Pro tip: I always invite Pure Vanilla Cookie first because his animations during the event are adorable!
3. Reading Orders and Timing At the top of your screen, you’ll see:
- The specific dish your cookie wants
- A patience bar (timer) that slowly depletes
- Visual cues for when to flip or remove items
The key to success is managing these three elements simultaneously while maintaining perfect timing on your cooking.
Essential Cooking Mechanics
Temperature Control Unlike other Cookie Run Kingdom mini-games, the Summer Night Campfire event requires precise temperature management:
- Items cook faster when placed directly over the flames
- Moving items to the edge slows cooking but prevents burning
- Each ingredient has different optimal cooking times
Multi-Touch Advantage Playing on mobile? You’re in luck! The event supports multi-touch, allowing you to:
- Flip multiple items simultaneously
- Manage different dishes at once
- Speed up order completion significantly
Emulator players (like myself initially) can only click one item at a time, making harder orders more challenging but not impossible.
Complete Recipe Guide: All Secret Recipes Revealed
After extensive testing and community collaboration, I’ve compiled every single recipe in the Summer Night Campfire event. These are organized by ingredient type and difficulty level.
Marshmallow Recipes
Basic Marshmallows:
- Crispy and Soft Marshmallow: Roast front and back for exactly 5 seconds each
- Burnt Marshmallow: Leave it on the fire too long (fails the order)
- Ultimate Marshmallow: The secret recipe! Grill for EXACTLY 5 seconds per side – timing must be perfect
Mini Marshmallow Variations:
- Crispy and Soft Mini Marshmallow: 1 second per side
- Ultimate Mini Marshmallow: Unlocked at Campfire Level 3+, approximately 1 second per side with perfect timing
Special Marshmallow:
- Hopping Bunny Marshmallow: Available at Campfire Level 5+
- Back side: 2 seconds
- Front side: 8 seconds
- This asymmetrical cooking creates the “hopping” effect!
Sweet Potato Recipes
Sweet potatoes require different mechanics – instead of timing, you’re watching for visual cues:
Regular Sweet Potatoes:
- Sweet Potato (Normal): Tap when you see the ordering cookie’s face icon
- Burnt Sweet Potato: Fail to tap in time or tap the wrong icon
Golden Sweet Potato Variations:
- Golden Sweet Potato: Immediately tap when the Golden Sweet Potato icon appears during cycling
- Burnt Golden Sweet Potato: Miss the timing window
- Legendary Golden Sweet Potato: Ultra-rare variant with faster cycling – rewards 1000 Crystals!
Pro tip: The Legendary Golden Sweet Potato is the most valuable item in the event. When you see it, drop everything else and focus solely on perfect timing!
Raw Jelly (Meat) Recipes
Introduced at higher campfire levels, raw jelly adds complexity with its “fire tap” mechanic:
Steak Jelly Variations:
- Rare Steak Jelly: All sides require 1 fire tap
- Medium Steak Jelly: All sides require 2 fire taps
- Well Done Steak Jelly: All sides require 3 fire taps
- Burnt Steak Jelly: Miss any fire tap timing
Ultimate Variant:
- Ultimate Rare Steak Jelly: 1 fire tap per side with perfect timing
- Must complete before the indicator cycles twice
- Requires frame-perfect inputs
Leveling Your Campfire: Progression Guide
Your campfire level determines available recipes and reward tiers. Here’s my optimal progression strategy:
Level 1-2: Foundation Phase
- Focus on easy orders with basic marshmallows
- Perfect your 5-second timing
- Build up a reserve of coins
Level 3-4: Expansion Phase
- Mini marshmallows become available
- Start attempting medium difficulty orders
- Sweet potatoes enter the ingredient pool
Level 5-6: Advanced Phase
- Hopping Bunny Marshmallow unlocked
- Raw jelly/meat recipes available
- Hard orders become profitable
Level 7: Master Phase
- All recipes unlocked
- Maximum reward potential
- Focus on legendary variants for massive crystal gains
I recommend saving some Roll Cake Logs each day rather than using all 100 immediately. This allows you to focus on higher-difficulty orders as you level up.

Advanced Tips and Strategies
After mastering the basics, these advanced strategies will maximize your event efficiency:
Resource Management
- Log Conservation: Start with easy orders to warm up, then focus exclusively on medium/hard orders
- Cookie Selection: Some cookies have shorter patience bars – avoid these for difficult orders
- Daily Planning: Complete the event during less busy times for better focus
Timing Optimization
- Countdown Method: Count “1-Mississippi, 2-Mississippi…” for consistent 5-second timing
- Visual Cues: Watch for slight color changes on marshmallows at the 4.5-second mark
- Audio Cues: Turn up sound effects – each ingredient has unique sizzling sounds when perfectly cooked
Multi-Order Management
When you’re comfortable with single orders:
- Start with different cooking time items (marshmallow + sweet potato)
- Stagger your starts by 2-3 seconds
- Use peripheral vision to monitor multiple grills
- Practice the “assembly line” method for similar items
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Panic Flipping When the patience bar gets low, resist the urge to flip items early. A perfectly cooked item completed just in time scores the same as one finished quickly.
2. Ignoring Visual Feedback The game provides subtle visual cues:
- Smoke intensity indicates cooking progress
- Color gradients show doneness levels
- Sparkles appear on perfectly cooked items
3. Wasting Legendary Items If you get a Legendary Golden Sweet Potato but aren’t confident in your timing, practice with regular sweet potatoes first. The 1,000 Crystal reward is too valuable to waste!
Platform-Specific Strategies
Mobile Players
- Enable haptic feedback for better timing perception
- Use landscape mode for larger touch targets
- Clean your screen – fingerprints can cause missed taps!
- Utilize multi-touch for complex orders
PC/Emulator Players
- Increase mouse sensitivity for faster movements
- Use keyboard shortcuts if available
- Position your mouse centrally to minimize movement distance
- Consider binding click to keyboard for rhythm game-style inputs
Cross-Platform Tips
- Sync your account to switch between devices
- Practice on mobile, compete on PC (or vice versa)
- Some players report better RNG on different platforms (unconfirmed)
