If you've been looking to farm more resources, unlock higher-level ingredients, build more Cookie Houses, and more, then all you need to do is give your Cookie Castle a level boost. Cookie Castles can go up to level 15, and you can even change its design upon reaching certain World Exploration milestones.

How to change Cookie Castle Design in Cookie Run: Kingdom
If you're bored of the standard Cookie Castle, you can spice things up by updating its look and feel with an all-new design. Click on your Castle, then select the switch button beside Level Up. This will open a menu with all the designs you can pick out. These aren't available by default—you need to put in some work to unlock them.
Changing your Cookie Castle design will also update the surrounding areas and Fountain of Abundance. Your upgrade progress will not change, and you won't receive any buffs, as the designs are just cosmetic changes. You can change Cookie Castle designs at any time.
You only have to pay the unlock cost once. After it's been paid, you can switch in and out of all the designs you've unlocked with no limits.
| Cookie Castle Design | Unlock Requirement | Unlock Cost |
