Genevieve says
Good Morning, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on getting 3 wins in a row in Tri-Peaks, thank you very much. Good Luck!!
kiki says
Genevieve #1: If you look over to the right hand side of the BH page, you’ll see a section called Categories; underneath is a drop-down menu where you can select different games and topics to pursue. If you choose Tri-peaks Solitaire, you’ll get several different BH postings regarding the game including some stellar tips for improving your gameplay, most notably in the Weekly Challenges (November 11-17) section. It’s a long thread, but it does have tons of tips.
I LOVED this batch of MMs! I got nearly all of them, and I usually wait for a sale, lol. Next month isn’t as appealing to me, so these will keep me busy for a while. An early birthday present to myself 😉
laura says
i was wondering the same 3 wins in tri pecks too i didnt do the other badge cause of it ty hagd
Caren says
I have a tip for Beaker Creatures. If you can’t find a perfect match, you can undo your last move and reselect the same creatures. You will get 3 new creatures to replace the ones you just cleared. Each time you undo/redo you get new creatures. I do this often will playing and usually get perfect games. When you undo, watch carefully which ones were replaced so you can select them again. Otherwise you have to figure out your last move again. The only times you can’t undo is on the first move, and the beginning of each stage.
There was a bug if you use the pulsing creature as the very last match in the game, the game crashes. I’m not sure if they fixed it or not, so I avoid that.
ninetynine says
Genevieve, my only hint is to make sure you don’t start your run of wins right before you reach the gold treasure chest. Once you get there, it resets your progress which I learned the hard way!
Start at the beginning, and don’t wait until the end of a deck to use your wild card if you still have buried cards.
Good luck~
laura says
i like the new peeks at the albums but 1 has rish i have no idea how to play it or flower daze i dont fined the appealing at allhate them games but just my opinion,looks like i wont be playing these games
Ban says
I can give Gene a hint even though I probably won’t be getting any of these badges.
Save your wild cards because at the end of a game sometimes you’ll have one card left and that may be your predetermining factor.
l3ear's Mrs. says
Well only 3 out of 12 I like this time. As always I’ll wait for the sale, more appealing to me that way. May’s I’ll wait until they are released to pass judgment on them.
But–
Is it me or does anyone else see it too — for May’s M&M’s does Thousand Island Solitaire look a lot like The Trivial Pursuit Badge? or is that Lura’s April Fool’s Day joke?
Lura says
Ah, um, err, April Fool’s! 🙂 It’s fixed now.
Laurie says
Hi I was wondering if the answers for crossword cove are the same no matter what level you play n because i went to do it on hard and they did not work
Jill says
I was just wondering if there was a code for badges to get a discount
Vics says
I bought em all, just finished the poppit challenge. The pandas were scarce to say the least. I love a good challenge, May’s M&M look very challenging.
Happy Gaming everyone and Happy Easter
Dawn says
Hint for tri peaks, when u win a game keep it, if u find your going to lose the next game , dont hit new game, X yourself right off , return to the game it will keep your 1 win progress, 2nd win, find losing 3rd, X off again, return to game, if you hit new game you will lose your progress, worked for me, gl
Wolfe says
I take it the Crossword Cove badge must be completed on an incomplete puzzle. So, no redos . . . right?

braun says
has anyone heard of any coupon codes for these April Mix and match?
Lura says
There are currently no coupon codes available. If there are any, we’ll have them posted pretty much the moment they’re active, so keep an eye on our homepage for the latest.
Dan says
Is anyone having problems with Battleship counting. I have played 5 games, won all of them, not even 1 ship sunk, the first two games counted and after that, nothing. This has happened before with Battleship, I should have 5/12 not 2/12, why can’t Pogo learn to keep track correctly.
pat says
i purchased the new mix and match for crosscove and i need to do it on hard i tried to play on hard but the answers dont match up how can i recieve this badge and i like using the answers too for a lot of help please lokking for answer. thank you very much
MomsBassetHound says
Dan #17 – I had no problem with the Battleship badge. I hate to say this but I guess you are going to have to email Pogo customer service.
Pat #18 – I did today’s puzzle on hard and my answers matched up. Are you sure that you had the answers for the correct date opened up?
Suz
Dan says
The answers should all be the same, are you sure you have the answers for the correct version, UK or US. Also have you made sure you have the correct date answers for the puzzle you are doing.
On another note, I was playing a friend in Battleship when I had the problems so I tried playing a bot and it is working fine
Pat says
Lol, another Pat? wasn’t me, yet I err frequently..but, busy trying to rack up Mnm. Also new Pat, check to make sure you have right answers..U.S. or U.K.
I have done that before..Pat
pat says
i did the puzzle on hard the answers are the same but i cannot get my credit for the new mix and match badge for crossword called cozy cove badge and i did activarate it too please help with a reason for me too recieve this tyvm
lucky198099 says
I have been trying to do the Crossword Cove badge as well but the answers aren’t matching up for me either….Whats’s the problem? Please help us!
Lura says
As others have stated, make sure you’re playing the right side/version (US or UK) and you’re choosing from the calendar for the appropriate day. I just did mine on Hard and the answers have always matched up perfectly. 🙂
lucky198099 says
Hi guys! Ok, I have talked to a few people in one of the rooms and they told me that you have to enter all the answers first and then hit all done….I did that like they said and it worked….I got my badge…..Very best of luck to all of you and I hope you all have a very safe and Happy Easter! From my family, to yours!
Pat says
Last thing to check is difficulty…this is on bottom black band next to show chat…there is arrow to take up to hard level…gl to U pat
pat says
yes i am making sure i have the right version us / uk and i have the right date on calendar too and the anwers are the same but the cozy cove badge doesnnot show complete after i do this so is it some thing in pogo thats not given me credit for this or is there some thing else i am miss under standing please.
MomsBassetHound says
The only other suggestion I have for the Crossword Cove badge is that it has to be a puzzle that you have not tried to complete before.
If you have done everything correctly then you will have to contact Pogo customer service. There isn’t anything that Lura can do to correct the problem.
Suz
pat says
ok people i want to thank you all for the information it did help and yes y– i did get my badge tysvm and hagn
barb says
Good Morning all, want to say thank you for all the great tips and info . this is an awesome site. i need some tips on the new M&M mini golf badge. Hope ev 1 has a great Easter Holiday.
CJ says
Hi all and Happy Easter!!! I was having trouble or so I thought getting the crossword cove challenge. I then discovered that since I had not ever played on the “hard” difficulty level; all answers turn white rather than showing up in color. Once I read all of the previous posts I was able to get the badge in no time. Thank you Laura and everyone who contributes to this site. I’m in the US and I check it everyday. So many have added so much help and answered so many questions that otherwise would have gone unanswered. Again wishing you a great and safe weekend and again “Thank All of You” who contribute to this site.

Rebecca says

Rebecca
MomsBassetHound says
Rebecca – If you read the answers above you will find the answer. And you can always check the tips for any game by looking under the Pogo Game Rank & Badges section.

barb says
Help!!!!! i dont know if this is a question for the open thread but i am going nutso trying to figure out how to win the new Mix & Match badge for April. any tips or help would be most appreciated.
Have a Wonderful Easter Sunday. tks
barb says
oops i forgot to put the name of the badge it for Mini Golf
no wonder im having problems
Pat says
Barb # 34 and 35-stick to the warm-up game, front 9, the easiest. Combine this with mini golf madness screen shots featured in right column of home page…show many hole-in-ones. The screen shots helped so much and saved my sanity; so grateful for them. This should be all you need, GL. Just load em side by side, minimizing the screen shots !
l3ear's Mrs. says
#34 barb—
The hints on the right side bar under Game Help are awesome have you tried them yet?
twisty
braun says
to barb, make sure you only play 9 holes and Do NOT play through if you do the front 9. I did this the first time hoping i’d get credit for 2 9 hole course, but it doesnt work this way. GL
Debbie says
HAPPY EASTER
Sherri says
dunno if anyone is reading this still but i have the same problem Dan #17 with not getting spins for all wins in battleship. grrrr lol
