promotions and events

From today until the 24th, join in the Stress Less Playfest by playing Pogo Bowl. Every time you bowl a strike or a spare, you’ll be entered (earn as many entries as you can in 50 games) for a chance to win a laptop and Mahjong Garden Deluxe, one of six Nintendo DSes and Pogo Island, one of 12 Club Pogo subscriptions or renewals, one of 22 Pogo water bottles, or one of 15 copies of Mahjong Garden Deluxe. And once you complete one game, you’ll get 10,000 free tokens just for participating.

Activate your Playfest and get started now.

Don’t forget to play Lost Temple Poker, Turbo 21, and
Vaults of Atlantis tonight for 2,000 tokens each as part of Pogo’s ongoing, monthly Casino Night.

If you’re a Red Hatter who loves to play Pogo, you’re in for a real treat! Don’t know what the Red Hat Society is? It’s a social organization for women over (and under) fifty. Pogo will be making an appearance at the Red Hat Society Convention in Orlando June 19-23! In conjunction, Pogo has created some great Red Hatter mini outfits for you ladies — there are many great red hats and a few outfits, as well as a pink hat for you Pink Hatters!

Hey UK players! Don’t forget that tonight is Bingo Night. Join in the social and earn 6,000 free tokens when you play Bingo Luau. Meet in either “Eyes Down (UK)” or “Legs Eleven (UK)” to socialize from 6 to 7 pm (although playing in any room at any time during the day will get you your tokens.)

Have you ever attended an Amazing Minis social night, only to sit in the room for several hours without ever seeing a judge? Well, it hasn’t happened too often, but it was a problem last week. (The Amazing Minis socials are where the Pogo Hot Shots are chosen by Pogo judges.) You’d think if this was really a problem, Pogo would grant the judges special access, but apparently not. This week, Pogo has posted a note in their social listing under each Amazing Minis social blurb:

“Please note: If rooms fill up, the Mini Judge can not get into the room. So, please try to enter a room that is not full– AND DO NOT USE “BACKDOORS!” Unfortunately, if a room is full and judges can’t get in, they may have no other choice than to skip the room. Also– PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW THE JUDGES! That takes up space in the room, and players seen in more than one room will not be made Hot Shots.”

It’s Game Night! Pop in and play Sudoku Puzzle Blast for a chance at winning a $50 gift card. Non-club members will be eligible to win doubled jackpots (up to $4,999), too.

Lots of new mini items were released this morning! The relaxation mini items from Dr. Kathleen Hall are free, too. The Pogo-related mini items are costumes of your favorite Pogo characters (Toothy, Boogie, Lady Doodle, and Piggie) with coordinating mini goodie items and backgrounds.

Be aware, the Calming Candles are already listed as “Sold Out”. This is probably a mistake; expect it to be fixed by Pogo soon.

UPDATE: During the 4/7 Amazing Minis Social, the judge said the Calming Candles would be coming back during the next scheduled maintenance release (which should be 4/8).

Probably among many other promotional themes, April is National Stress Awareness Month. Dr. Kathleen and Pogo have teamed up to provide a number of events for reducing our stress with another Take 5 to Play month.

This Thursday Pogo will release a new set of relaxation-themed mini items. Here’s a sneak peek:

April 1-17 is the Pogo Pop Star Spring Fling contest. Check it out right now and get 5,000 free Pogo.com tokens. The top three performers will win 100,000 tokens.

And April 18-24 will be a Stress Less Playfest in Pogo Bowl. You’ll get an entry each time you bowl a spare or a strike, up to 50 entries, for a chance to win a laptop, Mahjong Garden Deluxe, a Nintendo DS and Pogo Island, et cetera.

That’s a couple of dates to remember, but don’t stress — we’ll post again to remind you of these important dates when they happen!

If you’re interested in participating in upcoming Pogo Research Studies, take this survey. We’re not sure what will come of it, but Pogo tells us they’re looking for all kinds of players (old and young, male and female, newbies and Charter Club members, free and paid members, et cetera) to participate in order to make Pogo’s community more fun. They also say, “If you’ve ever heard of Focus Groups– this is a little like that, but completely different! We may ask you to participate in a poll, or perhaps have a one-on-one conversation about a particular subject.”
