What do you unlock by upgrading the Cookie Castle?

These rewards only unlock the Kingdom expansion perks, but you need to shell out resources to fulfill these upgrades on your own at any time. For example, you'll unlock Smithy Level two at Cookie Castle Level two. However, your Smithy will not automatically level up—you need to manually do so whenever you're ready. Doing so will incur a separate upgrade cost.

How to change Cookie Castle Design in Cookie Run: Kingdom

Image by Pro Game Guides

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.

Screenshot by Pro Game Guides

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.
