One of the games in the just-released mix n’ match badges is Mahjong Gardens: Complete 45 animal sets in 3 weeks. I can’t imagine that they mean 45 sets of 12 animals! That’d be win 45 game. But does anybody think what they’re really saying is complete 45 animal puzzles? However, knowing pogo, he could mean 45 games! I don’t want to buy the game if I haven’t a prayer of making it in the 3 weeks.
I completed the Sushi Cat challenge and got the 2000 tokens and the badge. Then did it again and got the 2000 tokens a second time. It must be like the P vsZ challenge. It continues to give the full amount no matter how many times you do it. Good luck everyone and enjoy the new badges!!!
For the Everyone Wins Bingo badge, the bingos have to be natural bingos in the B column. It will not give credit for bingos using a wild. Easy badge and got mine in two games once I realized wilds don’t count.
wondering if any one has any tips about the master level in jigsaw treasure. sushi cat play any round except round 1. Round 2 or round 3 are fairly easy to get the power ups. Also, has anyone tried mah jong garden? by animal sets, does that mean games? are there any tiles that are needed? can this be won by doing the ‘temples’ version? any help would be welcomed. gl all
Wow, they look pretty good. Will purchase all but that sushi cat thing.
Looks like I’m getting 2, EWB and Sushi Cat.. the rest do nothing for me.
For Mahjong Garden could it be that we need to win 45 puzzles using the animal tileset? (which is by the way the one I use)
All of the games for this release are of my favorites :D but I’m scared of the Jigsaw badge, I have never tried the Master difficulty level.
Dice City is a cool 1 to play with friends or in a nice full room love it
Joke badge is everyone wins bingo one
Get a Bingo with B numbers 2 times in 2 weeks! (B numbers are 1-15)
2 weeks?? would take 1 game =5 mins maximum.not worth 16 gems
You can in fact use wilds to get the bingos in the B column for the badge; just did it with no problem.
ansswer for #2: Robertafaye
The Mahjong Garden mix-n-match Zen Garden requires you to use the “animal tile” set and complete 45 puzzles. (that would be the same as 3 years and 9 months). I just started this badge and got credit for the first puzzle completed using the “animal set” tiles. Now, I will go back and finish the badge.
Good luck.
I tried setting the challenge for the new one for jigsaw treasure hunter after I had nearly completed the puzzle on master level and it didn’t work for me. Guess it has to be all in one go, so I’m going to look for a puzzle with definite colors involved to make it easier. Unless anyone has some other good tips on this one, I may have to do the same puzzle more than once to get the hang of it. Experience points will be good though!
i would say win 45 games in mahjong it not that bad and even if it long one so is wcs u cant have every challenge where u win the badge in under 5 mins.gl e1
Mozartjea #11 Thank you very much! 45 puzzles I can handle. The thought of having to win 45 games of 12 puzzles each was something I didn’t think I can do even if I sat here all day every day for the 3 weeks! LOL Well…off to pick up the badge. And again, thanks for letting me know.
where is the master level in jigsaw? I only see elite and hard? help!!!
When I do a timed jigsaw treasure puzzle, I choose the Parrots. One is red, one is yellow, and one is blue. I put those colors together first, then fill in the rest. Remember you get 5 hints and can use those to finish your puzzle. Good Luck!!
I still don’t get the B bingos badge.
I’ve marked my INGO’s first and hit the B’s.. or does it have to be when a B is called?
LOL i like procasinating till the end and marking my #s at the last minute.. darn if you can’t do that.
I’m out of gems and keep getting error message when I try to buy more..I’m having withdrawal symtoms
Rachel, Master level is only available in unlocked puzzles, it will be after “elite”
I just played Sushi Cat, it was too cute to pass up! Trying to decide on my next badge, I’m thinking Dice City Roller and thank you Jayswife for the tip!
Hi All, just wanted to share my tip on the M&M in JTH, played on the UK side, choose the island puzzle, with 3 different colors., activated it at the end of the puzzle and got credit for the badge. hope this will help. hagd tc

The Master level is in the Unlocked Puzzle mode and you pick a puzzle to play that level.
I love all these badges!
Have a question:
Are the embedded games still NOT showing a completed Mix-Match album? Is the number on the album still 19 of 20 if an embedded game badge is in that album?
Jigsaw Treasure Hunter – I just did “White Sand Beach” in 13 minutes, and I have NEVER done a puzzle on Master Level before. It is very doable as long as you pick a puzzle with distinct multiple colors.
Rachel #15 – The Master level is the level above Elite.
Some really great challenges this time. Good Luck Everyone!!!
Suz
You do not have to use animal tiles in Mahjong Garden. I am, using gem tiles and it is working just fine.
I just completed the jigsaw puzzle. After my hand was almost going numb LOL, I tried the Clothes Peg puzzle. They are each a different color like the parrot one. Worked for me. Good luck all.
For the Mahjong Garden Badge, when it’s a tile set I don’t care for, I choose my fav set ~~ work the puzzle ~~ then right before the last set of tiles, I click on the “Tile Sets” at the bottom ~~ SWITCH to Animals, or whatever the challenge calls for ~~ and match the last two tiles to complete the game for the credit.
Works every time. :)
Good luck everyone.

MomsBassetHound – #22, I can’t get anything above Elite. Only choices I have are Easy, Normal, Hard and Elite. I click the arrow to go higher than Elite and nothing happens.
sirron #26 – You have to play “unlocked puzzles” in order to get to the Master level. And you can not go to “unlocked” until you have completed a few puzzles in the “Adventure Mode”.
Suz
sirron #26, Master level is only available in unlocked puzzles, it will be after “elite”, Good luck.
I too did the Parrot puzzle for this, and about 3/4s of the way through, made the ginormous mistake of clicking the Rotate button, trying to find some errant pieces. It rotated the entire puzzle, mostly off the board, and the only way I could finish it was to do so sideways and upside down so that the unfinished puzzle section was visible. But I did it in 13 minutes!
Never click the Rotate button for any reason. You may want to highlight that tip, Lura! LMBO!
hi i got all the badges except the jigsaw one….
you need to check on unlocked puzzles
and then click to master leval
the mahjong sahari badge play on easy and same with the squelchies badge. the rest are ok
have a great day
I like a lot of these games… particularly Dice City Roller, Jigsaw Treasure, Squelchies, Everyone Wins Bingo and Mahjong Safari. It’s a shame the Bingo challenge is so easy – but I love the badge. The Jigsaw I’m looking forward to because I’ve never played master level, and I’m up for the challenge. I would get the Sushi Cat but I really don’t like doing badges in non-chat games, so I will pass on it (for now?)
These was all to easy to suit me for the gem price! in ewb the wilds worked for me? i bought all but 1, seems i always buy to early and DO NOT get to take advantage of a FREE M&M or any other where pogo gives codes and discounts…. anyhow I just made the 3400 th badge.
This was a perfect month of perfect M&Ms. The first batch was great, and the second batch is even greater. Love these badges! I spent the balk of today in Mahjong Garden, but no complaints: love the game and it was very peaceful. Pogo did so well all the way around including the versatile selections. Now they raised the bar for themselves. lol
I just finished a Mix-Match album and received that cool ‘Badge Bonkers’ super badge. I’ve been hoping for that one for a long time. :-)
WTG Bon Badge BONkers.
I am still trying to figure out how to win the Everyone Whines Bingo badge. I seem to only get credit for one per game, no matter what kind of bingos I get.
The good news? The Passing Rooms are up in arms with all the other people claiming blackouts. Just like old times.
#35 joe look at the bottom line going across each has a letter the ist one is b all u need to do is make a bingo going up that line.ist one i got was a natural bingo on that line but second used a wild and it counted.gl
Thank you Joe :-)
(sorry I’m late getting back here)
I simply LOVE that badge cause it represents me so well.
It has the big blue “B” for this lovely website.
My Pogo name starts with a “B” so I LOVE that it matches my name *winks*
And the badge itself is kinda like me. Tee hee. Bonkers and it’s colorful and I love Springtime.
I will wear it PROUDLY!
I’m hearing the jigsaw treasure isn’t possible to get, the puzzle pieces are too small and there’s no master, just elite!
Just had a word usage question—in Canasta, they put “You’ve melt x of y times..” Is “melt” the proper word here; does not sound right…anyone know?
As for the jigsaw treasure puzzle, I set the challenge, chose my puzzle, got used to the small size, rotated to get the feel of it and decided to do a “dress rehearsal” before actual game. I was so relaxed and actually eating and unconcerned. Must have been a good thing, as I finished and saw the script that I had completed the challenge in 28 minutes and awarded the badge. I was glad I got to relax. Had I known I was that close, I would have added panic to the mixture.
Pat #39 – Congrats on getting your badge!!!!
And you are correct, should not say melt……..
