For Bingo, I played on blackout (sharing room) where they call all 75 numbers so you can get 75 squares in one game. It just takes 11 games for you to get this badge.
For Poppit, just pop those balloons and hope for the frogs.

Bingo Luau, play Blackout and whatever speed you’re comfortable with. Should get them within 10 or so games if not more.

Agreed. If you can take it, go to the Blackout and superspeedy rooms. Should get the badge in an hour or less.

For Poppit I tried all 3 levels and found level 3 to give the most frogs. If at the end of popping you have some gifts left to release and are lucky enough to have a power up left use it to release a gift. If no frog undo the move and try on another one. (assuming you have one or more gifts in such a place you can release them)

Hi Everyone,
150 FROGS?? Are they SERIOUS?? You only get a few prizes in each game to begin with!! You MIGHT get one a game…that’s ALOT of games even assuming you get one a game, ppffftttt!
PHOOEY!! And I thought it was gonna be a good Badge Week :( That’s what I get for thinking, huh?
Guess I’d better get started…thanks for the tips everyone. Much appreciated as always.
Have a safe and successful Wednesday.

P.S. Feeling kinda down…could ya tell? (sigh)

I have 100 frogs, got them in about half an hour, was getting up to 5 per game on level 2. After a long weekend away at dance competition with my daughter, I welcome the “mindless” popping of balloons and covering of numbers for this week’s challenges. :)

For the poppit one, I am playing on level one, and after 30 minutes, I have 85. I am sometimes getting 6 or 7 in a game, they are adding up quick! Just pop, pop, pop!
For Bingo Luau, pack a lunch. lol

both badges very easy this wk i agree with bingo sharing makes it go quicker,for poppit i used easy at times was getting 4/5 frogs a time and hit new game once u have all prizes makes it go quicker too only takes just over a hr.gl e1

kat f .150 not that bad,there was one challenge in poppit b4 it had a make over and u had to get 1,000 any one rember that one
Wolfe 07.01.09 at 4:45 pm
The Poppit one takes about an hour. Even if you don’t win the game, the dropped frogs still count. Fairly easy compared to the hours and hours from the Hog Heaven Slots challenge.

shaz: I remember that one! And there weren’t nearly as many frogs as there are now. That one seemed to take forever to finish.
Kat: It won’t take as long as you think. It sounds like a lot, but I got it way before I got my 50 bees for the July 4th badge.
Good luck this week, everyone. I’m off to play Boggle Bash!

These weeks challenges aren’t as bad as I expected. I was really dreading the poppit badge, as poppit is my least favorite game on pogo. I know this is off the subject, but has anyone else noticed that the stars and stripes polo shirt in the women’s section has gone missing?? How unpatriotic of pogo! I sent a complaint, but we will see what happens. Happy 4th everyone! Have a great 4th of July weekend.

ok wish they would not do any bingo challenges, not because i dislike the game but because I have never seen a simple game bring out sooo much ugly in people!! I saw more fighting today about such stupid things as room jumping to calling bingos, who knew such a childhood game could be so serious! good luck all and remember to DUCK when playing bingo.

Both of these challenges were quite easy. The poppit badge took my husband probably an hour or less to do. Working on the 3rd level helped as you get more prizes (or it seems to be that way).
As for as Bing Luau, I went to super speedy room, and blackout. I would just click to start a game, if it had already called a bunch of numbers I would just take my mouse over the numbers if they highlighted they had been called and I’d click them, i could do all 3 cards in a matter of just a few moments. Finish the game, collect my challenge daubs. Could get up to 75 per game. What I would then do is exit that game, find another game that was already started—and had lots of numbers called, do it again, in about 30-45 minutes I had my challenge finished

boxer, I played in a sharing room for exactly the reasons you mentioned. I hate when people get mad just because you’re playing the game the way it’s supposed to be played. I tend to ignore the chat for the most part, but it’s definitely annoying when everyone is so angry over something so stupid. While I stay away from sharing rooms for the most part, I don’t mind popping in to get a badge. Not only is it a bit quicker, but I didn’t see a single complainer.
As for poppit, I played on skill level 2 for a while and got up to 6 frogs per game (though there were definitely a few games where I didn’t get a single one). The first game I played after switching to skill level 3 got me 10 frogs! Pretty exciting, haha. But for the most part, I got 5 or 6 every game, with the occasional “no frog at all” game. I’d give the same advice someone else did above: at the end of the game, if you have a power up that could free a prize, and you have more than one prize to choose from, just pick one and undo if it’s not a frog.

Hi Everyone,
I bring with me a better mood! hahaha As I started the Poppit Badge, I soon discovered it was NOT like some of the other badges where you had to get certain items…sigh of relief! I’ve done the others where you had to get pandas, baseballs, etc. and THAT was difficult…and why you heard me whining earlier, lol
THIS badge is ALOT easier and I’M DONE!! YEAH!!
HERE’S MY TIP:
Play on Level 2, look for the STARS in the balloons (which contain the Power Ups you might need later in the game), if you don’t see any, click New Game til you find some, and pop away! If you don’t get all the items, then you can use the PUps you got in the Stars and one might have another frog. Got that? Hope so…sure worked for me and I was done in a little over an hour or so.
Sorry I whined, but it worked, ROFL :)
Bingo??? How do you find a sharing room?? That’s the BIG question of my day, lol I’ve gone in, asked, was told it was, then someone calls bingo after 48 numbers! Were they fibbing, being mean, or what?
Wish Pogo would NAME Sharing Rooms, don’t you all? Or is it just me? How do you go about finding one unless you pop in and ask? And then you have to trust they are telling the truth. :( They don’t always and then there’s the possibility that a new player could come in and call the Bingo and not care that everyone else was sharing!
Ok, my whining and sharing time is over, lol
Have a great Thursday and don’t forget UK BINGO NIGHT to get 6000 TOKENS!!
Don’t know why Lura hasn’t posted that yet….maybe she is busy? Or forgot? Still on vacation?
(((HUGS for all)))

Hi Kat! Eek, is it Thursday again? I completely forgot. :( There aren’t a whole lot of hours left in the UK day but I’ll put up a quick post. Sorry guys!
Also, there are marked sharing rooms. I play Speedy / Blackout rooms and there are a ton marked (Sharing) after the room names. If they’re marked sharing, the game won’t let you call bingo before ball 70. If they’re not marked sharing, anything goes. :)
Kat F. 07.03.09 at 1:23 pm
Hi Lura and Everyone!
Yes, I did eventually find the Sharing Bingo Rooms, guess they were all full when I went looking, (who looks down anyway? lol)
On my second try, I did get into a room with one other person and she was NICE!! (I won’t talk about my first experience! UGH!!) It was great!! She didn’t gab the whole time, or ask flammable questions, which I don’t see how people do in a Speedy Bingo room, lol I can’t gab and mark my numbers at the same time!! Maybe they go in and mark all their numbers first and then start up the gabbing?
Anyway, got all my badges done….wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be….guess I just panicked, lol Wasn’t in a good mood that morning, as I said.
Lura, your welcome for the mention of UK Bingo Night :) Didn’t know if I should say anything about it or not, but did, just in case you were indisposed and couldn’t post. Then maybe some would see it and be able to get their tokies :)
That’s it for me. Have a GREAT weekend everyone!!
(((HUGS to all))) Kat F.
