Golf Solitaire is now officially in beta, and we’ve got a little bit of new information on its three modes. The modes are Regular, Speedy, and Super Speedy. In the Regular mode, you will get 1 minute and 45 seconds per hole and the game takes 20 seconds between holes. In the Speedy mode, you will get 35 seconds per hole (quite a jump, right?) and the game takes 15 seconds between holes. In Super Speedy mode, you’ll get 20 seconds per hole and the game takes 10 seconds between holes.
To start, Regular or Speedy may be a great place to learn the game, but given that you’ll be ranking up based upon how many hazard cards you clear, Super Speedy is going to be where you’ll be ranking up fastest in this one!

In honor of Valentine’s day, Pogo has given us a nice Valentine’s day page, the most important part of which is a 25% off code for downloadable games. Just enter coupon code valentine at purchase. But the fine print says it’s valid on regularly priced games $19.95 or higher and it’s not valid on Tri-Peaks2. Given that this code is valid from February 1st through 15th, we at least know that Pogo expects Tri-Peaks2 to be released before February 15th.

Are you looking for a fun and challenging way to spend your time this weekend (besides Tri-Peaks 2, which is unquestionably late)? Check out the Pogo Scavenger Hunt. Before February 8th, complete tasks in three different games, complete the puzzle, and get a chance to win one of several cool prizes: a Desktop PC with an LCD Monitor, 5 Nintendo DSes with Pogo Island, 12 Pogo To Go games, and 15 Club Pogo 3-month game time cards.
The item you need comes randomly in a jackpot spin. For each of the following games, this is what you need to do to get a jackpot spin, although it may take several tries to get the piece you need (and the tokens that go along with it). In Dominoes, just win a game. In Bingo Luau, mark off 100 squares. And in First Class Solitaire, move all of the cards to the four foundation piles. Once you’ve completed the puzzle, you’ll be awarded what Pogo refers to as “a large sum of tokens” (16,667) and an entry in the prize drawing. It’s also possible to enter the drawing only without completing the puzzles (but you won’t get that large sum of tokens).

It’s Pogo’s monthly Game Night. Today, non-Club members can play Hangman Hijinks for a chance to win double the jackpot (up to $4999, a feature usually reserved for paying Club members) and every time you load the game, Club member or not, you’ll get a chance to win one of five fabulous Pogo totebags.
