Well...I decided to try something else and it paid off. I fear posting it as I still have two mushrooms to go but just in case this works for anyone else:

I did not feel like constantly collecting 150 candles. So I tried this. I went around the map and played premium rooms (with a blue star hire each time for extra XP) - Old Square, Ship, Observatory, Garden, Clothing Store, Treasury and Theatre - I played each of these rooms once. They must have supplied a proper amount of candles as I did not check the total count.

Next I left the game up but "idle" just sitting on the counter. At some point the game brings up the information about the new challenge on the screen automatically. Once I see that I pick up the iPad again and hit Play. The first thing that happens is that the game points me to the Dark Square with an arrow. I then play the Dark Square. Each time it rewarded me with a lollypop except once. That time I had just enough "extra candles" from the above process that I was able to play the room a second time immediately. The second time I played it rewarded me with the lollypop.

I only need two lollypops now. I'm going to play now to try to get one of them before Mytona sees this post and wrecks another opportunity.
