Get out your American flags (and your 22 gems)! It looks like Pogo will be releasing a Limited Edition mix-n-match badge in honor of Independence Day. More details about the game and challenge for this badge are coming soon.
From the monthly archives:
April 2008
Word Whomp - Go Go Gopher Badge
Find EVERY SINGLE WORD in one puzzle on Skill Level 2 or higher this week!
Sudoku Puzzle Blast - Big Cheese Badge
Solve 12 puzzles WITHOUT using any hints this week!
A lot of people are reporting that they have surpassed rank 5 in Golf Solitaire and did not receive the first badge, “Bogie the Ghost”. In fact, users are reporting that NONE of the badges are being awarded — a problem that was happening in beta testing, oddly enough — including all five rank badges and the “Flawless Victory” badge.
We expect this to be addressed by Pogo in an upcoming Letters to the Editor, but in the meantime, rest assured that you’re not alone!
We’ll admit we nearly jumped out of our chairs when we saw the headline of the latest Pogo Insider: “Exclusive Sneak Peak to a New Game!” (and of course we had to use the sneaky marketing ourselves, but with proper spelling). Sadly, it wasn’t so exclusive: just the tour page for Crazy Cakes.
In addition to the April Mix-n-Match challenges, Golf Solitaire was released today. The pages for Word Riot Deluxe are up and in place, but the game file isn’t there yet — when it shows up, it will be on this page. We’ll update this post when the file arrives and you can play Word Riot Deluxe later today.
Update: the file still isn’t there, but we know WRD was at some point supposed to be out today; there’s a sweepstakes listed on the page that states “from April 22…”
Update 2: You are going to have to wait until next Tuesday. Sigh.

As part of a thank-you to Club Pogo’s AOL members, you can get 10,000 free tokens each week from now until May 14th. The week resets on Wednesdays, so visit soon to get your first set of 10,000 tokens!
And if you haven’t seen it yet, visit our free tokens page to get a lot more free token offers, Club Pogo passes, and more.
For the same reason we could show you the badges for Crazy Cakes and Ali Baba Slots, we’re able to give you a sneak peek at the six badges for Word Riot Deluxe.
Rank 1: Tickets to the Show
Rank 10: Standing in Line
Rank 20: The Next Contestant
Rank 30: In the Spotlight
Rank 40: A Word From our Sponsor
Rank 50: Grand Prize Finale
Ali Baba Slots is being beta tested now, and the nudge feature originally planned for the game is not in the beta version. In addition, the badges have been pushed to the live server, so we can give you this sneak peek:
Rank 10 Badge
Rank 20 Badge
Rank 30 Badge
Rank 40 Badge
Rank 50 Badge
Due to (what we assume was) a technical error, the badges for Crazy Cakes were already pushed to the live server, affording us a sneak peek at the five “unreleased” badges and chat icons for the game.
Rank 10: Cookie Chef
Rank 20: Muffin Master
Rank 30: Pie Paragon
Rank 40: Brownies Beyond Belief
Rank 50: Perfect Pastry Wizard
We’ve got more of these “unreleased” badges to show you for some other upcoming games, so stay tuned!
