CookieRun: Crumble EXP Dungeon Guide

The fastest way to level cookies — once you know the schedule.

Unlock & basics

The EXP Dungeon opens after you clear Stage 6-10 in story mode. Each run costs stamina and pays Cookie Level EXP by tier — higher difficulty tiers have dramatically better EXP-per-stamina, so always push the highest tier you can clear.

Smart sweeping

  • Sweep, don't replay. Sweep tickets skip the fight for identical rewards — replaying manually wastes your time for zero bonus.
  • Match your roster needs. Only farm EXP tiers when you have new cookies to level; otherwise shift stamina to the Rune Dungeon.
  • Watch for double-drop days. Weekend rotations rotate bonus dungeons — burning stamina on a 2× day nearly halves your real cost.
  • Front-load new cookies. A fresh Legendary at level 1 loses you Auto Hunt speed; level it the day you pull it.

Leveling priorities

Carry first, healer second, tank last. Your DPS scales every fight (see the tier list for who); Cool Mint's heals are percentage-based so she stays effective while under-leveled; Milk mostly needs to survive one hit, not max level.

Pair this with Auto Hunt — overnight hunts feed the stamina and Gold that dungeons convert into levels. Full loop in the Auto Hunt guide.
