How to join a guild in Cookie Run Kingdom

While Cookie Run Kingdom is a purely single-player game at first glance, it’s a lot more fun to experience the world with friends. One of the best ways to do this is to join a guild and work alongside other players, pooling resources to unlock new goodies.

If you’ve been trying to find Cream Puff Cookie, you’ll want to access the guild gacha as quickly as possible. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of how to join a guild in Cookie Run Kingdom and what this can mean for your gameplay, along with how to leave a guild if desired.  

The Escapist recaps

• Cookie Run Kingdom is a free-to-play mobile gacha game that primarily offers single-player gameplay through its campaign and limited-time events. 
• There are some multiplayer elements, with guilds making up the bulk of this, alongside the Cookie Run Kingdom Arena and Cuckoo Town Square. 
• Guilds let players work together to defeat powerful enemies through the Guild Battles feature. They also offer perks like the guild gacha, which can help players get their hands on the ever-elusive Cream Puff Cookie.
• While guilds aren’t essential for enjoying Cookie Run Kingdom, they’re worth joining for the extra perks and buffs they provide alongside the exclusive gacha.
• Leaving a guild in Cookie Run Kingdom simply requires opening the guild tab, tapping on the username in the top-left corner twice, then hitting the “leave” button.

Cookie Run Kingdom guilds, explained 

Guilds in Cookie Run Kingdom are groups of up to 30 players that can work together to build a shared space and defeat bosses in Guild Battles. Guild members receive a buff to their Cookies and can access the guild gacha system, which is where the Cream Puff Cookie originates. 

To join a guild in Cookie Run Kingdom, you need to clear stages 3-6 of the main campaign first, referred to as Ginkgoblin Grounds on the map.

You shouldn’t need particularly strong Cookies for this; try tanky characters like Red Velvet Cookie to soak up damage if you’re struggling with beating this level. Leveling up your Treasures should help as well. 

Once you’ve cleared this level, you’ll be able to open the Guild tab on the kingdom screen and pick a guild to join. The “Recommended Guilds” tab is the best place to find a guild with open slots and a level that’ll suit yours.

It’s possible to create your own guild in the same tab if desired; it’ll cost you 500 Crystals. If you’re running low, redeeming a few Coupons can help you fill up on resources.

If you want to leave a guild once you’ve joined, tap the guild name twice, then hit the “Leave” button. Make sure you’re certain, as you’ll have to wait a full 24 hours before you can find a new CRK guild to join. 

Should you join a Cookie Run Kingdom guild?

While you certainly don’t need to be in a guild to get the most out of your time in Cookie Run Kingdom, it is worth it for the exclusive guild gacha and the perks that these groups can provide through the Beacon of Promise.

Despite being a multiplayer-oriented aspect of the game, guilds don’t place much pressure on their members to be social for the most part. 

If you prefer playing games like CRK as a solo player, you can still join a guild and contribute to the Beacon of Promise without needing to interact with other members too much. The option to interact is there, but it’s not mandatory.

If you’re not already a member of a guild in Cookie Run Kingdom, it’s worth looking for one with a spare seat next time you log in. These groups offer a plethora of perks – ranging from a gacha that offers a rare Cookie to stat buffs for your team, and they open up new content in the form of Guild Battles.
