One of those relaxation mini items that hasn’t officially been released yet has snuck into the latest release on Pogo. Head to the mini mall — click on My Mini and What’s New, last page — and pick up your free Singing Bowl! (Originally we thought this was a mortar and pestle, and some people thought it was champagne chilling in a bowl of ice…)
We’re not sure if it was supposed to be free (but we suspect it was), but it certainly shouldn’t be out yet, so don’t wait on picking it up, just in case.
Further sleuthing… In the information for this item (clicking on the “i” in the upper left corner of the item), it lists it as having been released on 3/3. Assuming this was a typo, we are guessing that the full set of relaxation items will be released on 4/3.
And even more sleuthing… The Take 5 to Play mini items page says “Look forward to a new and FREE Pogo Mini item release in April.”

The badges for Plate Spinner have been created. There are five of them, and some seem to correspond with the in-game (test) challenges leaked through various forums.
• Meet your quota without losing customers! (Customers are considered lost if they leave while waiting for an order.)
• Serve 100 customers!
• Serve 50 humans!
• Serve 20 elves!
• Serve 30 dwarves!
• Serve 10 wizards!
• Serve 30 trolls!
• Serve 5 lime cakes!
• Serve 20 grape desserts!
• Give out 5 flowers!
• Win 3 rounds without any waste! (Waste counts as items trashed, or desserts left over on trivets at the end of a round.)
Each badge features a character and a fruit-flavored baked good. The first one shows a human female and a cherry pie. The second has a male dwarf and a lemon muffin. The third is a male elf and a grape pie. The fourth has a male troll with a piece of lime cake. The fifth and final badge shows a wizard with a whole blueberry cake.
From the challenges listed and the look of these badges, it appears that this game will be very similar to Makeover Madness but with a few special challenges added.

Wow, Pogo sure has created a lot of mini items lately. It looks as if you’ll also be able to get full costumes of the mascots for Hangman Hijinks (both male and female), Tumble Bees, Sweet Tooth, and Hog Heaven Slots (pink piggie). It shouldn’t be long now before we get a whole release full of neat Pogo-related mini items in the mini mall, unless Pogo has even more mini items up their sleeve!

There’s a new game in development called (at least for the time being) Plate Spinner. It will have 50 ranks and 5 badges and will be recipe-themed. (Could it be a Diner Dash-style game?) We don’t have enough details to put together a more informative post, but we’re working on getting more for you soon.

We meant to tell you about this earlier, but it somehow slipped through our fingers! Please forgive us!
For the week of March 26, get ready for another super badge challenge!
Win 3 Challenge Badges between March 26 and April 1!
(This includes personal and Premium Challenges!)
The reward badge is an excellent animated April Fool’s joke — “Click here for 999 billion tokens!” This incites snickers all around, but for completing the super badge challenge, at least you’ll get 3,000 tokens and the badge…at least.

Pogo’s artists have been hard at work creating the next Mix-n-Match badges. The good news is that there are fifteen new badges (that look especially great in our opinion), including ones for some new games like KenoPop! and Sudoku Puzzle Blast, and maybe even (a hopefully made-over) Ali Baba Slots. We desperately want to tell you that these will all be for April, but they may very well be spread across two months of Mix-n-Match challenges. We’ll post more details as they become available, of course!

Coming soon are five new mini backgrounds that have a loose “out and about” theme to them. There’s one for the soccer moms, featuring a minivan parked near a soccerfield; one for avid campers, showing an RV; and one for cyclists, picturing a chopper motorcycle parked on the beach. There’s also a downtown London scene, and a Hollywood red carpet scene. The camper and red carpet look familiar, a lot like the previous mini backgrounds “Caravan Park” (still available) and “At Da Club Pogo” (won in Lottso Deluxe).
