Stuck in Bonus Level Up glitch/loop - I'm getting free donuts

Is anyone else stuck in a "Bonus Level Up" loop after the small update today? I was affected by the XP glitch, which I posted a pic of in another thread. I just got a small in-game update, got into the game, and immediately got the "Bonus Level Up" game. The XP glitch seems to be fixed - it's a pink bar and max XP is now 120,000.

I clicked a present in the Bonus Level Up game, got a donut, tapped collect, and I got the Bonus Level Up game again. For the past 20 minutes, I tap a present, get 1,2 or 3 donuts, collect, and loop right back to the Bonus Level Up game. I've collected about 200 donuts so far. I'm taking screen caps, but I'm afraid to exit the game to post the pics because I may lose this glitch.

Has this happened to anyone else?


I got it after the Valentine's update (along with many others), but most of us stuck at 80-90 donuts max. If you're up to 200, keep going haha.

    Sadly this hasn't happened to me yet, but in case it does... does the glitch allow you to buy up a chance to get 3 donuts (eg, paying $50,000 to guess another box) or does doing this stop the glitch going further?


    Yes, you can spend $50,000 to get another guess and continue the glitch.


    For me, buying the chance for $50k stopped the glitch from going further.

    How exactly does this work? Never got it after about 4 bonus level ups so far. When the bonus level up shows up do u click it and collect the doughnuts? Or just keep pressing boxes? If u collect the doughnuts, do the three boxes pop right back up or do u have to wait a second? Could somebody describe exactly what happens a little more precisely lol.. Want to make sure I'm not sabotaging it lol


    I don't know what exactly triggers the glitch. Both times that I leveled up and got the glitch were when I entered the game. Yesterday I leveled up by collecting XP on the ground from a task and got the bonus game as normal. This did not lead to the glitch. I picked a box as normal (I don't remember if I paid money to select again), hit "collect," and the bonus donut screen went away. Then I visited a friend's Springfield and my game crashed. I re-entered the game and somehow leveled up again. I got the donut bonus game and played it as normal. I selected a box (got one donut), paid $50,000 to select again (got two donuts), and then hit "collect" (I didn't have enough money to pick again). I got the donuts, but the bonus donut screen remained. I picked one box every time (since I didn't have any more money) and hit "collect" every time and each time the donuts counted. This went on and on about 45 times (I got about 90 donuts). Eventually the bonus donut screen just went away on its own and I noticed that my XP meter was whacked out. It said I needed about 750,000,000 XP for the next level. It didn't seem to affect my game in any other way.

    Today I entered the game and an update automatically downloaded. After the update download I leveled up again and went to the bonus donut screen. I noticed that my XP meter was fixed and that I now only need 120,000 XP to level up. It was the same deal as before when I selected a box and got one donut, paid $50,000 and got two donuts, and didn't have enough to select the third box. I hit "collect" and the donuts counted every time. This went on until I accumulated about 950 donuts. At this point my game crashed. When I re-entered the game I got the bonus donut screen, but it was already "revealed." I hit "collect" and the screen finally went away.
