Pogo Games on Facebook App

Pogo has added Puck’s Peak to their Pogo Games on Facebook lineup. XP values for this game are listed on the Facebook XP page.

Pogo will be adding Phlinx and Tumble Bees to their Facebook offerings in the near future.

Today, Pogo has added four more games to their Pogo Games Facebook App. Three are games you already know and love (well, maybe love): Battleship, Rainy Day Spider Solitaire, and Payday Freecell. One’s an all-new game that’s so far exclusive to Facebook, Poppit Sprint!

Poppit Sprint looks a lot like regular Poppit with the multi-colored balloons, but once things get going it’s clear it’s a fast-paced and different game! To play, click groups of two or more balloons of the same color. Larger groups of five or more balloons will earn you power-ups. Those powerups can be used to create chain reactions and big groups equals big points. The clock is ticking, though so you’ve got to be fast!

In this game, you can unlock virtual prizes by collecting 5 coins in the playing field. When you collect all eight prizes you unlock the Pop Rocket stage and the Gold Coin powerup.

To advance your level on the Facebook app, you’ll earn xp by scoring over 100,000 and/or for a 40+ balloon super pop. These seem to to require some skill and/or luck — if you have any tips for achieving these goals please let us know in a comment below! Go check it out and please come back to share any hints or tips you have for this new game with us. Thanks!

Pogo has added a neat feature to their Pogo Games App on Facebook! It’s called “Today’s Daily Special” and each day you’ll be able to earn extra tokens and xp. Every day will have a different challenge in one of the games on the app — for example, today’s challenge is to spell six four-letter words in Boggle Bash. The reward, as you see below, is 500 tokens and 10 xp.

Completing this challenge daily is just another way to earn more tokens and bonus items. Each day you load the Pogo Games App on Facebook, you also earn a spin for a Daily Token Bonus, which is doubled if you visit two days in a row. You also can earn extra tokens, above and beyond what you earn playing the games, and Mini Rewards by earning xp and leveling up. A post detailing what games earn you the most xp and the fastest is coming soon, so stay tuned!

Pogo Games on Facebook fans: Scrabble and Monopoly were also added to the games lineup today, and now listed as coming soon are Rainy Day Spider Solitaire, Payday Free Cell, and Battleship. Pretty soon we won’t have to visit Pogo.com at all anymore!

The Pogo Games Application Beta went live today on Facebook. Right now you can play ten different Pogo game favorites on Facebook: Poppit, Word Whomp, Boggle Bash, First Class Solitaire, Yahtzee, Turbo 21, Trivial Pursuit, Pogo Bowl, Lost Temple Poker, and Bingo Luau. These are the same games (and same game rooms) you can access through Pogo’s web site, just “wrapped up” in Facebook’s interface, which allows for Leaderboard displays amongst you and your friends. Right now they’re granting a few extra tokens if you go through the motions of playing a game, so it’s worth it to take a look at the Pogo Games Application if you’ve got a Facebook account.

The Facebook Connect feature mentioned in this article has been updated to address the privacy issues and concerns we’ve brought up. A new, updated article has been posted: Pogo Facebook Connect Privacy Resolved. This article will remain in our archives, but comments will be closed.

Today, Pogo rolled out even more integration with Facebook. There are a bunch of places the integration shows up and in some cases it’s completely automatic. If you have an account on Pogo and on Facebook, you may need to take some steps to protect your personal privacy.

So, why is any of this a problem (and why are some Pogo users totally outraged at this change)? As we’ll show you later, if you previously used a Pogo Facebook app, your account is already linked and as of today your real name will be shown on your Pogo profile, which is by default a public profile. In other words, if you did nothing more than check out a Facebook Pogo app, your privacy is probably at risk.
