CookieRun: OvenBreak (previously named Cookie Run: OvenBreak and also known as CROB) is a game created by Devsisters, released on 26 September 2016 in Canada, Sweden, Netherlands, Philippines, Hong Kong, and Australia, with a pre registration event that is no longer running.[2] CookieRun: OvenBreak has since released globally on 27 October 2016, except for China.[1] This is the first game that Devsisters has released since they launched LINE Cookie Run on January 2014, and marks their departure from using the LINE and Kakao instant messaging platform.
While CookieRun: OvenBreak retains most attributes from the previous Cookie Run, including the side-scrolling arcade gameplay and much of the graphics, it significantly changes the scoring and leaderboard system, while also introducing brand new Cookies, Pets, and Treasures. It includes mechanics not previously implemented in LINE Cookie Run and Kakao Cookie Run, such as Champions League, Guilds, and a Breakout Mode.
In the summer of 2023, at the Season 8 update, the brand of the game title was initially renamed as "CookieRun: OvenBreak". Devsisters announced that CookieRun games, such as Kingdom, Puzzle World and upcoming games would be renamed the brand of the game title as an camel case-branded game title. Before early to mid 2020s, Cookie Run for Kakao was released, which is also known the title with camel case as, "CookieRun".
Differences from Cookie Run[]
- There are multiple game modes, with the primary one being Trophy Race, a real-time competitive PVP (player versus player) mode. A new Guild system was added, with team-based Guild Runs.
- The camera is allowed to zoom in or out more, bringing the addition of sections with more vertical movement and stages with alternate paths.
- Some Cookies’ and Pets' abilities and combination bonuses have been changed. The addition of Magic Candy can greatly change a Cookies' abilities.
- Many Cookies and Pets are brand new, including the crossover characters
Hello Kitty, 
Mimmy and 
Cookiedroid, while others from previous games have been included like Coffee Cookie and Buttercream Choco Cookie.
- Many Cookies and Pets are brand new, including the crossover characters
- Treasures have been greatly changed, no longer needing to be evolved, and leveled up by collecting duplicates, similarly to Cookies and Pets. There are far fewer Treasures, most being new to OvenBreak, but there is less overlap in their effects. There is no longer limited space for holding Treasures.
- Magic Ingredients and Magic Powder, previously used to evolve Treasures, are used to craft Magic Candy, currencies, and tickets in the Magic Laboratory.
- XP is no longer gained from running. The replacement for XP is Escape Levels, gained from upgrading Cookies, Pets and Treasures.
- POWER+ abilities are almost completely absent, with the only two POWER+ abilities on Treasures, Firm Friendship Ring and True Friendship Pendant, both with temporary effects that have expired.
- Boosts are also removed, with the option to use a Relay restricted by game mode. New Boosts appear only in the special Island of Memories game mode.
- Cosmetic Costumes, Jelly Sets, Lobbies and Titles are available to customize aesthetics. Costumes are obtained through a new currency, Rainbow Cubes.
- The Life system was abolished, but there is now a limit on how many times each Cookie can run for before having to rest.
- The number of running times and recovery time are as follows:
| Class | Number of runs | Charging time per run | Recovery time |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Common |
15*1/10 | 10 minutes | 1 hour |
|
Rare and above |
10 | 30 minutes | 2 hours |
| Special*2 | 2/4*3 | 10 hours | 15 hours |

Cookies[]
Cookies are the main playable characters, each with unique theming and skills. They are the runners who must dodge obstacles and pits and collect Jellies. The majority of LINE Cookies returned to this installment, with new Cookies introduced alongside. Either one or two Cookies are released each month, and older Cookies are often buffed with Costumes, Magic Candy, or simple statistic improvements. Since the Season 6 Update, all Cookies have the maximum level of 15. Cookies are classified into five rarities.
Common Cookies are weak Cookies that are easy to obtain, all being unlocked from the start. Many copies of them are needed to fully upgrade them. There are only four Common Cookies, all from previous games - 
GingerBrave, 
GingerBright, 
Strawberry Cookie, and 
Skater Cookie.
Rare Cookies are available from Gold Chests and Supreme Cookie Chest (in the Gem Exchange Center), so they are naturally collected in large amounts. Some Rare Cookies can be surprisingly useful, as they receive Magic Candy and other upgrades, sometimes overshadowing even Epic Cookies. There are 17 Rare Cookies, with only one brand new one, 
Pilot Cookie.
Epic Cookies are the most numerous rarity of Cookie, as most newly added Cookies are Epic. They tend to be strong, but the large amount of them means there is a lot of variation in their power. The main way of unlocking Epic Cookies is by spending Crystals or collecting Trial Star Candies and can be leveled up using Crystals or Cookie Potions. The amount of them is constantly increasing every update.
Legendary Cookies are a small group of powerful and flashy Cookies that are not easy to accumulate. They are very difficult to collect. Some Legendary Cookies have a Legendary Combi Pet, while others have an Epic Combi Pet. Like Epic Cookies, Legendary Cookies can only be unlocked by using Crystals or collecting Trial Star Candies, and they only are upgradable using Legendary Cookie Potions.
Special Cookies are promotional Cookies that are available during Events, and are very difficult to obtain without spending real money. There have been only five Special Cookies - Hello Kitty and Mimmy promoting Sanrio, 
Cookiedroid promoting the Google Play Store, 
Coffee Cookie, and 
Buttercream Choco Cookie. Special Cookies require less copies to level up.
Pets[]
- Main article: Pets
- For the list of all Pets, see List of Pets/OvenBreak.
Cookies are always accompanied by a Pet, which provide support abilities, use Magnet Jellies, and carry the Cookie to Bonus Time. All Legendary Cookies have a special Combi Pet, which provides a bonus when the Cookie and Pet run together. Unlike LINE, the only Pets without a Combi are certain Legendary Pets. The majority of LINE Pets returned to this installment, with new Pets introduced alongside. Pets usually come in the exact same Rarities as Cookies, and are obtained in similar ways.
Treasures[]
- Main article: Treasures
- For the list of all Treasures, see List of Treasures/OvenBreak.
Treasures are equippable items that provide special effects. The most common effect is to create unique, high-scoring Jellies, but other effects are available. Up to three Treasures can be equipped at the same time. Treasures are leveled up by receiving multiple copies of the same Treasure, and there are far fewer Treasures in OvenBreak than in LINE. There are no Draw Seasons or limited Treasure spaces, and Treasures can't be sold or extracted. The maximum level for Treasures is 12, and level 12 Treasures can be enhanced for additional effects. Most Treasures are Rare or Epic, and some are Legendary. Unlike Cookies and Pets, no Common Treasures exist, but there are POWER+ Treasures (since expired) and Special Treasures.
Game Modes[]
Trophy Race[]
Birthday Cake Cookie wins a Trophy Race and receives ten Gold Tickets.
In Trophy Race, the player can choose two Cookies: one to start with and a relay. The goal is to gain the most points whilst competing with up to nine other players within the set time limit. After the time limit expires, the players will have their scores ranked, and receive a reward based on ranking.
One of the two rewards are Gold Tickets, ten of which can be used to open a Gold Chest. The second of the rewards are Trophies, which can be obtained or lost based on how well the player scores.
Breakout Mode[]

Little Ghost in the Fragrant Lotus Paradise lobby.
In the Breakout Mode, players relay run with a limited number of Cookies in four different episodes. The number of Cookies allowed will be usually 10. The Breakout Main Episode rotates every new Season, and Breakout Special and random episodes rotates every month. Each Cookie, Pet and Treasure can only be used once. Participants receive a weekly reward according to their best score, which includes Gold Gems and Legendary Gems at high enough scores.
Cookie Trials[]
Pastel Meringue Cookie's Trial with old UI layout before it was revamped.
In Cookie Trials, you can play specially-designed levels for a specific Cookie and Pet. Cookie Trials disable Magic Candy Blessings, Escape Level and Affection effects, putting players on more equal footing. Each trial has a total of 16 ranks that can be reached by getting a certain amount of points, and for trials that released before 
Hydrangea Cookie's trial, 25 bonus missions that can be completed to gain rewards. For a month after the beginning of a Trial, there is a New Cookie Cup, with further rewards for each rank and a final reward of Gold Gems for players who reached Diamond Rank, based on how well they scored compared to others.
You will unlock the Hard Mode Trial when reaching Diamond Rank in the Normal Mode Trial. In Hard Mode, the Trial is more challenging and gives bigger rewards, and will have a new Cookie Cup reward of Crystals, Gold Gems and Legendary Gems. Since 
Cherry Blossom Cookie’s release, every new Cookie released also gets a new Trial, and since Hydrangea Cookie's, every new Cookie Trial also have a Hard Mode.
Island of Memories[]
The Island of Memories main menu.
The Island of Memories is a set of 3 islands, each with 50 stages. Each island corresponds to a certain Cookie (
Hero Cookie, 
Cheerleader Cookie, and an island shared by 
Dr. Wasabi Cookie and 
Mustard Cookie). Each level has 3 stars to earn by completing different objectives. Each island also has a different boss, focusing on unique mechanics not seen in any other mode. Rewards can be earned by reaching certain amounts of stars in each island. Special Boosts can be used to make the stages easier. Like the Special Episodes of LINE Cookie Run, Winding Keys are spent to play on the Island. They recharge over time to a maximum of ten, and can be crafted.
Guilds and Guild Runs[]
The Desert Bloom Season arena board.
Joining a Guild allows players to socialize and cooperate with other players in the Guild, compete with other Guilds in Guild Runs, and earn unique rewards. The creator of a Guild is the Guild Leader and can start Guild Runs, cook meals in the Guild Kitchen, kick players from the Guild, and promote other players to Guild Officers to allow them to do the same.
Guild Runs are competitions between four Guilds, where members of a Guild all run in up to four randomly selected Arenas, and their combined high scores compared to the other Guilds determines the winner. Running in Guild Runs gives a player a Seasonal Reward of Gold Gems and Legendary Gems (if their rank is high enough), and winning Guild Runs awards more Gold Gems and causes the Guild to rank up to receive better rewards. Each Guild Run Season lasts for two months. The current season determines available Arenas, as well as any additional Season Rules and Recipes.
Event Game Modes[]

Grand Champions League[]
The highest level of competition is the Grand Champions League, only accessible to those who received an invitation by scoring in the top 10% in the Champions League. It works similarly to the Champions League, but with only one Arena playable at a time. Only a certain amount of players can advance on to the next Round, and after a month, a single player is crowned Grand Champion. Advancing far enough rewards Crystals, Titles, and some special Costumes, as well as a special Puzzle Key, used in the Curious Rainbow Mine. Players who are not running can practice the Arenas and Cheer for other players, receiving rewards if their chosen Champion wins the current Round. (In 2022, only the usual 10,000 trophies required).
Friendly Run[]

Friendly Run is a limited time mode where two players can do a live run together and gain points. Cookie skills are disabled, but certain Cookie combos can give bonus effects, such as GingerBrave with GingerBright providing extra health. Friendship missions can be completed to gain rewards.
Custom Runs[]
The Aspiring Dreams Custom Run main menu.
Custom Runs is a limited time mode that allows players to customize a match and choose the map and combi for the run. Other players can then join and run with the same settings and try to get the best score in the time allotted, similar to Trophy Race. The Cookies, Pets, and Treasures may be specifically set, randomized, or be chosen by each competitor. Custom Runs can be public or private, and can have a custom title.
Removed Game Modes[]
1vs1 Race[]
A 1vs1 Race start screen, on Pumpkin Land of Fear
1vs1 Race was a mode included in the global launch, that was later removed and replaced by Friendly Run. In 1vs1 Races, you would compete against a friend for the highest score on a chosen Land, including the exclusive Land Monstrous Flower Garden. The person with the highest score would win and take the loser's Coins that had been acquired in their 1vs1 race attempt. After five victories, a special Chest could be opened.
Champions League (old)[]
Mystic Jewel Exchange, the former mechanic of Champions League. it was removed from the mechanic and made no return with the return of Champions League (old).
In the Champions League, champions compete in three different stages using a limited amount of Cookies and Pets. The three stages change from season to season, with each season lasting two weeks. The total scores for the three arenas will be combined to be ranked globally. Getting a top score globally will lead to more valuable rewards, including a profile frame and commemorative statue. All players can pay tribute to statues of the top 3 scorers daily to get small rewards in the Hall of Fame. To qualify into the Champions League, a player needs at least 10,000 trophies earned from Trophy Race.
Treasure Trials[]
Butterfly Brooch's Treasure Trial, the last Treasure Trial was released before the game mode was removed.
In Treasure Trials, you can play specially-designed levels for a specific Treasure. Treasure Trials disable Magic Candy Blessings, Escape Level, Cookie Cheer Squads, and Affection effects. The Cookie and Pet in the Trial will be capped at level 1, but you get +10 Energy for each level the Treasure is. Each trial has a total of 16 ranks that can be reached by getting a certain amount of points. For a month after the beginning of a Trial, there is a New Cookie Cup, with further rewards for each rank and a final reward of Crystals and Enhancement Ticket for players who reached Diamond Rank, based on how well they scored compared to others. Since 
Fashionista Spotlight's release, every new Treasure gets a Trial.
