Someone asked a question in the original Beaker Creatures release post this morning and I ended up searching Pogo’s support site to try to give them some answers. Of course I didn’t find anything to help them (am I the only who gets totally random search results there?) but I did stumble across this interesting piece of information related to the secret badge:
Question
What is the secret badge for Beaker Creatures?
Answer
Unfortunately, there is a rumor going around regarding a secret badge for Beaker Creatures. Beaker Creatures currently does not have any secret badges available, and there are no plans of releasing any secret Beaker Creatures badges in the near future.
(source)
The reason there was a rumor in the first place is because an extra badge graphic was created for the game and added to Pogo’s live web servers (see our original post containing the six badge graphics). Usually when Pogo creates and uploads extra badges for a game they end up as “special” or “secret” badges that can be earned by completing an in-game achievement (a lot of recent games have these, like Crossword Cove and Thousand Island Solitaire and others).
I guess this badge isn’t ever going to make it to our badge albums, considering Pogo claims they have no plans of releasing any secret badges in the near future.
Rest in peace, cute little secret badge that could have been.

Rumor has it that the requirement for the special, in-game award badge in Beaker Creatures is 25,000 perfect sets. Nobody we know has come close to that yet, but we’d love to hear from someone who has! Just drop us an email with your Pogo screenname so we can look up your awesome accomplishment!

Update: Several people have written in to let us know they’ve reached 25,000 perfect sets and not received a badge. Next rumor? :P

Beaker Creatures has been released. It’s also Pogo’s first game in Flash (as opposed to the previous games which were all created in Java).
Don’t fret, you probably already have Flash installed in order to see the animated badges, but if you don’t you can download it from Adobe.
This game has 50 ranks and six total badges (ranks 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50; and a special in-game badge). If you have any hints or tips on how to rank up fast or get the special badge, post it in the comments below. Thanks!

According to this week’s Letters to the Editor UK edition, Beaker Creatures will be released next week. There’s no staggering details here, but check it out:
Dear Ed
Where are all the new games?? By my reckoning, it’s about two and half months since our last new game (Sock Hop Slots) and I’m itching to get stuck into something new! You mentioned that there were new games on their way… Can you shed any more light?
Thanks!

Those folks at Pogo sure keep busy! Here are some screenshots of the upcoming game Beaker Creatures (formerly called Pattern Puzzle, and boy were we way off). Enjoy!

Sure, we’re expecting Monopoly Slots and Word Whomp Underground (Deluxe) to be released in 2009, but what else does Pogo have up its sleeve?
We’ve caught wind of two new games that will be developed in the coming year: Pattern Puzzle and Boggle Frenzy.
We’re not sure what Pattern Puzzle will be like, but our best current guess is that it might be some form of Tangram game.
As avid Boggle fans, we are excited for this Hasbro title to be added to the already-spectacular Pogo games lineup. If you’ve never played Boggle before, check out this Hasbro Boggle site for an interactive demo.
As usual, we’ll keep you posted!
