We’ve just been shown some nice badges that have been created for a future Mix-n-Match release. There are fifteen large, non-animated badges (so these may be spread across two months’ worth of M-n-M’s) for Word Whomp (or maybe WW Whackdown), Thousand Island Solitaire, Texas Hold ‘em Poker, Team Bingo, Squelchies, Pogo Bowl, Pinochle, Payday Freecell (possibly), Mahjong Safari, Lottso, KenoPop!, Jungle Gin, Hog Heaven Slots, Hearts, and Checkers.

It’s Game Night! Pop in and play Mahjong Safari for a chance at winning a Pogo Prize Pack. Non-club members will be eligible to win doubled jackpots (up to $4,999), too.

The two secret badges have (finally) been added to Mahjong Safari with today’s maintenance cycle. Here’s the scoop on how to get them:

Matchmaker Badge: Match 50,000 tiles
Gift Giver Badge: Give 1,000 gifts

Good luck!

Here are some hints and tips for Mahjong Safari that we have come up with since its release a week ago:

• The secret badges don’t seem to be in the game yet. For more information on that, see our previous post about Mahjong Safari’s secret badges.

• If you can, play on Hard mode — you will get 4 safari animal sets to match per game (3 in Normal, 2 in Easy). When you quit out of the game, it will currently reset itself to easy mode, so be sure to take a look at what mode you are on when you first open a room.

• Match all of the same animal tiles (two matches, four tiles total) in order to get a 30 token bonus.

• You may need to adjust your screen resolution in order to see the tiles better. We prefer this game on 800×600 on our laptop screens!

• You will get more tokens by matching tiles in rapid succession. These are called “Combos”. The more Combos you make, the higher your score and therefore you’ll get higher tokens at the end of the game. (You get one token per 100 points of score.)

• When you match a mini-animal, a large graphic of that animal will appear. To quickly dismiss the graphic, click (or right-click) anywhere on the screen and it’ll disappear and you may continue playing.

• Check out the tilesets available as well as the animal tiles you have received from ranking up. Some may be easier for you to see than others and the easier they are to see, the faster you can match them. Matching faster brings in more tokens and more ranks!

• Early on, try to match the star tiles. Clearing these out will give you one of each kind of powerup to use later in the game. Powerups will help you continue if you run out of matches.

• Use the Long Line powerup to both increase your score and delay the need to use a Shuffle. You will lose your powerups at the end of each puzzle, so use them if you need them.

• In order to get a time bonus, solve the puzzle within 3 minutes on Hard mode.

• If you really want to rank up fast and don’t care about earning tokens, hit New Game as soon as you’ve matched all of the mini-animals in the puzzle.
