Pogo Release Schedule

» When is [insert game name here] going to be released?

BadgeHungry is often the first web site to report details about upcoming games that Pogo.com has in development. Due to our credibility, we often receive questions from our loyal readers and users who want to know when a specific game is going to be released. Unfortunately, due to the nature of software development, nobody really knows that answer, except maybe Pogo employees (and we don’t know any of those). We do, however, know that there are certain events that take place every week and every month, and we can narrow down some releases to certain days of the week. Which week, you ask? Sorry, your guess is as good as ours!

* When a new game is released or a game is upgraded, it usually happens on a Tuesday after maintenance. Pogo has released a few games on other days, but it’s not the norm. Sometimes you can get into a new game’s page before it is listed on the Pogo home page by going through your Badge Central Game Award album or by adding it to your Favorites if it’s listed in the “Games to Choose From”.

» Monthly events

Mix-n-Match challenges – 1st of each month
Once a month on the 1st, Pogo officially releases new Mix-n-Match challenge badges. In the past, these releases happened mid-month; as of April 2009, they are released on the 1st of each month (or unofficially, sometime the night before). Starting in December 2007, Pogo began to retire a set of Mix-n-Match challenges prior to releasing new ones.

Club Pogo Insider Newsletter – 2 times a month
Twice a month, Pogo sends out their Insider Newsletter. To sign up for the newsletter, visit the left sidebar of the News page.

Game Night – 1st Friday of each month
On Game Night, non-Club members will have a chance to win a double jackpot in a certain game, and every time you play that game you’ll be entered to win a selected Pogo.com prize. You can enter as many times as you want, but you will only be eligible to win one prize.

Casino Night – 3rd Thursday of each month
The third Thursday of every month, Pogo hosts Casino Night. You’ll receive 2,000 tokens for playing each of three games. (Sometimes you can click the links in the morning and receive a total of 6,000 tokens and then again in the evening for another 6,000 free tokens.)

Jigsaw Detective – last day of the month
On the evening of the last day of every month, the following month’s Jigsaw Detective case file puzzle is released.
