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.
If there’s a game you’ve had your eye on, check the Best of ‘07 list — for a limited time they’re 50% off. For badge hunters: Mahjong Garden Deluxe, Lottso! Deluxe, and The Poppit! Show are just $9.95, along with many other favorites from last year. If you are interested in checking out a new game, try your hand at finding hidden items in Big City Adventure: San Francisco or Dream Day Wedding, both also $9.95 and favorites here among all of us at BadgeHungry.
When you play Word Whomp between today and the 28th, you’ll be entered into the Spark your Batteries! sweepstakes and you’ll have a chance to win a Nintendo DS and a copy of Pogo Island. You can enter multiple times but you’ll only be able to win one prize. In addition, look for the “New You” rooms in Word Whomp to join in the social fun. Also, don’t forget to visit the New Year New You page for your last set of 5,000 free Pogo tokens.
Those of you playing across the pond from us (US!), 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.)
Don’t forget to play Blackjack Carnival, Panda Pai Gow Poker, and Double Deuce Poker tonight for 2,000 tokens each as part of Pogo’s ongoing, monthly Casino Night.
If you’ve got a Wii and enjoy casual gaming, you’ll probably love this one: Pogo is giving away 2,500 free tokens for checking out SmartyPants. It’s a fun trivia game you can play with up to four people — one unique feature is that it customizes your question to your age so everyone can have a chance at being the SmartyPants! (We know, we own this game and love bringing it out for entertaining small groups of our friends.) UK players, here’s your offer.
Pogo’s spreading the word about the great features of Club Pogo and now you can earn 10,000 free tokens when you complete the puzzle they posted today.
Pogo UK players: you can earn 10,000 free tokens when you complete the puzzle, too. (And who are we to say what country site you can play in?)
This week, play Bingo Luau to earn a chance to win a $250 spa certificate. According to the rules for this sweepstakes, you will receive an entry each time you enter a game room, and you can enter as often as you’d like (although you will only be eligible to win one prize). In addition, you’ll get 5,000 free tokens for visiting the Near Year New You page again. (UK users: you can participate too.)
