i don’t know if i am looking forward to beaker creatures
Jamie says
Poppit challenge is fun but takes awhile and you get 6,000 tokens for completing it. Weekly challenges are gonna be just that, a challenge. Enjoy!
badlokii says
Already started the Poppit badge 600/1500, another easy one. You don’t need to win the game for the prizes to count towards the badge, just pop away.
pastorpapabear says
Use Lura’s Hole-in-one screen shots! They’re a life saver. Even if you don’t get the hole in one, it will definitely get you close to the hole! It will also help you get closer to your in-game achievement badges-one for holes under par and one for holes in one!
Lura says
It’s probably worth mentioning that a hole-in-one probably won’t earn you badge progress this week, even if the par is 2 (making a hole-in-one effectively -1). Sigh.
But here, have at it (I added new ones to the end recently):

Jess says
Lura,
I thought from the badge description that -1 would count? So, a hole-in-one on a par 2 hole should meet the badge criteria of ” -1 or less,” right?
Lura says
Jess: maybe, I haven’t tried. You’re most likely right. I know Pogo definitely doesn’t count a hole in one as -1 on a par 2 hole, so that’s why I said “probably”.
pastorpapabear says
I just finished a game and got 13/60, so that should be right. There were about 5 that I got par on, so it looks like hole in ones count towards badge progress.
Lura says
Excellent, thanks guys! I’ll update the original post to have a prominent link to the hole-in-one screenshots. 🙂
JMWilden says
Lura, I just finished a game of mini golf and did get credit for the holes-in-one. Good luck everyone.
Joan
Danielle says
Yep, -1s definitely count. Most of mine have been -1 and I’m getting credit!
The Poppit SE is really easy and quicker than I expected. Hour and a half tops. I love when Pogo gives us little extras to do!
Good luck, everyone!!
Terry says
After the first hour here is what I found: using the wonderful badge hungry screen shots, pick any of the series, do the first two holes for hole-in-one shots (which do count) then hit new game and do them over, and well, over and, well you get it. They count and you get really good at two holes! gl to all!
pastorpapabear says
How many tokens are people getting average per game in Beaker Creatures? Is it better to bust your butt to get as many tokens per game, but take a stink load of time, or is it better to get through games quickly, but have to play more games?
CAbreeze79 says
pastorpapabear #13 – I took my time to get those ‘perfect’ scores as much as possible and it took 4 games to get the badge. Time was about 40 minutes, so not bad at all.
Deborah says
Another week of pitiful so called challenges. Had them both done in 50 minutes. But, it looks like we have some decent ones coming up in May.
Sandi says
I just finished the golf and it counts any MINUS as a point… doesn’at count -2 as two.. oh bother. BUT was really great help laura altho I play a couple holes differently. BUT where is the help for Beakers Creature..I am tooo mature I guess for this game. Can’t seem to revert back to childhood which alot have said its a kids game.. LOL not for me. The one suggestion about clicking on the ? after the chat and using that screen beside game did help some.
Deborah says
I don’t understand why there is so many questions about mini golf. The instructions say par or better, so why wouldn’t hole-in-ones count?
Karen says
Thank God for the Poppit badge because these other two work my last nerve. Beaker Creatures is too juvenile and Golf Madness just reminds me of Tiger Woods, and I end up hitting the ball way too hard.
Ugh. Not my favorite badge week.
beth says
mini gold should be a breeze and i really like the game, and its great to know the hole’s in one count YAYYY….now beaker creatures is a different ball game for me not real fond of it lol….and poppit i will just take my time as i have several weekly’s in 2005 book and pogo gave us 2 weeks to do that badge (or maybe longer) didnt look @ it real close for time lol
have a great day all and gl with your badges
Mamabear says
Hello everyone, I trust you’re all having a great Badge Day and your weather is bootiful too 🙂
#18 Karen good thing I didn’t have any liquid in my mouth or I would’ve spewed on your Tiger comment LMAO~thanks for the LOL
Well I’ve not gotten around too even starting my badges and I’m with #16 Sandi on being too mature for Beaker Creature~have only played it once a few weeks back just out of curiosity and about went looney tunes playing it. Oh well, will give it a good try on both badges today. I’m taking my time on Poppit too~trying to get all the balloons popped~best try was 2 left~and I’m betting I get 2 more ranks out of the badge 🙂
Have a great day and I hope to see ya at Pogo.
Linda
Jessica says
My Beaker Creatures wont load 🙁
fish says
for the golf game theres a quick way to advance for the badge . select easy then the sept 1 2009 game you should get a head shoot hard through his mouth when the score comes up hit new game then select sept 1 again and over an over again
MomsBassetHound says
I concentrated on making perfect matches and got my Beaker badge in 4 games, was only short a few points after 3 games.
For the golf badge I just kept doing the front 9 of the warm up course.
Good Luck to anyone still working on them.
Suz
Mrs. Mike Brown says
Beakers Creatures still has the old text colors…YAY!!!
Monica says
Poppit only took me and hour and a half to complete as for golf not one of my best games I might just have to bribe my hubby to do it for me and then get my 7yr old to play beaker creatures she loves the game since it’s more of a kids game than for adults. Good luck on badges this week to evry1
beth says
for jessica #21 it loads slow for me too maybe try like i did with flower daze i think it was or 1 of the new games when the screen comes up and turns gray right click in screen and change to low instead of high on resolution i think it is when u right click it will be the last 1 in drop down box, maybe some of you that are more familar with it can be more precise..
ellen520 says
Fish # 22 has the right idea…if you don’t like MGM and don’t care about ranks or tokens…just play that easy hole-in-one shot repeatedly and you will have your badge quickly. BTW, the “New Game” button is along the black bar at the bottom of the screen! GL to all.
vibirdlady says
I like MGM and play that often so badge was easy for me. I’m working on getting the extra badges that are offered in there for different courses so played the ones I knew today. Beaker Cretures went fast considering this was first time playng. I changed rooms after each JP spin and got 400-600 tokens for each game. Not sure why that helps but I had remembered someone in BH memtioning changing rooms after a JP spin a few weeks back so tried it today. Poppit should not take too long. Good Luck All!
mspatmac says
Bless you fish #22, got the badge in no time. Now if I could only do that beaker game as quickly! Really really really don’t like that game at all!
rabbitandkitty says
sure loved poppit challenge got it done in 50 mins.long as u get the presents just hit new game.gl e1
kodi says
Here is a little help for Beaker Creatures. After you select 2 creatures, move your mouse over the remaining creatures. The lights above the beaker will light up to show you the best choice remaining. 1, 2, or 3. It got me spins where I wasn’t getting any before. Hope this helps. It sure did make it go faster for me.
Jennifer says
Hello everyone. Badges wasn’t too bad this week. I haven’t started on Poppit, but I am sure it will not take long to win. Beakers Creatures wasn’t too bad, time consuming to say the least.Golf Solitaire isn’t my favorite game, but I do enjoy playing it when there is a badge.Karen #18 I don’t know what you meant by the Tiger Woods comment, but it wasn’t funny.
MomsBassetHound says
I’m a Tiger Woods fan and I thought it was very funny. She meant that she wasn’t the #1 golfer in the world!!!
Suz
Jennifer says
#33 MomsBassettHoundAhhhhh…. thanks for clearing that up.I am not good at golf neither,lol. I am a Tiger Woods fan, too.Not my favorite sport. Have a great evening.
Ban says
@Karen
I have to agree with the others.. leave Tiger out of it… if you were in that situation you wouldn’t want drama either…
okladyplayer says
Did anyone notice in Beaker that the chat box is the same colors that other rooms used to be? Guess they did not change anything in that game. I was shouting AMEN they changed it back. LOL and then it was still the same distracting red in other rooms for their announcements. “sad face”
heart says
I have to say I enjoyed this weeks badges. They were not games I play often, the change was nice. I ranked in all three of the challenge games and in mini golf walked away with three badges instead of one y–.
# 21 so sorry i didn’t have a problem if you still are you might want to clear your cookies.
#18 sorry the games work your nerves (at least they aren’t timed aye) as far as your joke I enjoyed it. (if tiger woods is reading this i hope he did well on the badge too). I enjoy everyones jokes in here.
Everyone that has gotten their badges wtg and a big gj to you. those still working badges gl and have fun.
jaredph says
Hi everyone!
okladyplayer (#36): I think that’s because beaker creatures uses flash instead of java. I noticed that puck’s peak, which also uses flash, also has the old chat.
Anyway, back on topic lol.
For beaker creatures, if you’re not used to the game, it’s very easy to learn. Here’s a tip: when you have two creatures selected, as you scroll along, the lights at the top will dim on and off, telling you how many points you will get if you click the third creature. If you play around with this long enough, you will get a good score.
Richard K. says
Anyone–on Golf Maddness…..I love this game and ranked out on it long ago. I get -23 every game. I get hole-in one on every hole but the 2 that the little space man moves the ball and hole 18. I was in a room and got into one heated arguement when this guy told me he gets “hole in ones” on those 2 holes where the little space man moves the ball. It is impossible to do that. If I am wrong would someone PLEASE tell me how it can happen. Or is that guy another famour pogo fibber. This is driving me nuts. I played several extra games and I can not see how on this earth you could get hole in ones on those 2 holes. HELP I am going insane over this. LOL(Warm-up course)
MomsBassetHound says
For Richard #39 – I’m not the golf pro, but I agree with you that it’s impossible. You have to take the 2nd shot after the ball is moved by the little alien.
Suz
Frank says
I just finished all my badges for the week and should be going to bed. I just wanted to say that I’m glad that Beaker Creatures finally had a weekly badge. That game is underrated, requires you to use your brain, and just looks cute.
MGM really made me bored since I’m not keen on playing these same courses over and over again. Plus it brings up my frustration about Pogo not making new courses like they said they would.
I’m glad I started the Poppit badge before work this morning. The game is quite dull, but I am aware it’s one of the public’s favorites. This evening, by my 1,000th balloon, I just started randomly clicking, not caring if I would finish the board (most times I would).
Now I’m glad I have the extra time for the rest of the week to focus on Clue or check out more surveys.
nessa says
Hi all. Just finished my 2 badges. For minigolf I played the Warm Up course and thanks to BH and the Hole in One screenshots only took me 4 games to get the badge.
Beaker Creatures was very easy and it happens to be, belive it or not, one of my favorite games. Took me 3 games and 15 minutes to get the badge, so I recommend to play on hard level (I dont know if you get same tokens on medium or easy) and try for perfect matches every move, that will give you around 1000 – 1100 tokens each game.
Marithoner says
Richard #39: If you are speaking about the Warm Up Course, I just completed it and saw only one that was impossible to get a hole in one (with the little space guy).
l3ear's Mrs. says
Happy Badge Day!
# 22 fish and #27- ellen — Thank you for that tip, worked like a charm.
# 39— Richard — That guy is just another famour pogo fibber. There is no way it can be done. The limit is 2 shots no matter what. Of course I had to go try myself.
Mamabear– enjoyed our chat playing golf. See ya around again.
Good Luck to those working badges.
Lura, Thank you for all those screen shots. For me couldn’t have gotten my badge without them.
As always–Be safe All
twisty *,*/
Richard K. says
THANK YOU all so much. My bad, only one space man on warm up course. The other one is on another course. I feel better getting Moms input. I thought I was missing something and it was driving me crazy. I agree l3ears, a pogo bragger/fibber. LOL. You know how some things can just drive you crazy, lol. And man that one really got me looking for something i might of missed, LOL. I feel better now. Thank You all.
Legittx says
on that poppit badge … here is an easy way to do within 15-20 after you win ur 1st game ….
when u win a game, click the last balloons (make sure they don’t have a prize) … after u click the last balloons, click new game, then on the section where it gives u the tokens there is an “UnDO” click on that and it will bring the last 2 balloons back up … just keep doing that and u will get your badge within 15-20 minutes
it will also credit your games won towards your ranks if u have not ranked out yet … GOOD LUCK !!
Lura says
Fair warning about the cheat/glitch Legittx describes above: it will work, but it has been stated by Pogo that this violates their TOS. Use at your own risk, and don’t forget to read their TOS so you know exactly what you’re doing. End of discussion.
Agent 99 says
THANK YOU Fish #22!! You’re a lifesaver, I was dreading this badge so much and your tip was perfection.
I wasn’t a big fan of the challenges this week, but that said beaker creatures was mercifully easy, and thanks to the above tips I’ve got extra time now to work on other badges. Have a great week everyone!!!
Legittx says
sry i didn’t know about that lara or i would not have put it on here, i heard about it when i was doing my but i was at the end so didn’t even use it, just thought i would put here … next time i will know better
sry about that folks, was unintentional … don’t want to get people into trouble.
Joe says
Yay to Frank #41 and Nessa #42 giving props to Beaker Creatures. I also think it is challenging if you’re trying to find a perfect group every time. It also happens to be one of the quickest games to rank out in once you get the hang of it.
I agree with Frank also on MGM… I can’t work on ranks in that game playing Warm Up over and over. It’s a great game, but they need to put some folks working on those new courses!
The Poppit cheat makes me sad… I’m getting close to Rank 50 in that game, and the fact that a lot of people have gotten to 50 that way makes me not even want to play it anymore. Oh well, moving on…
Mamabear says
Hi everyone, just a drive by to see what’s going on with all you BH’ers.
l3ear’s Mrs. was very nice chatting with you in golf too and hope to see ya again real soon. I have to finish up Beaker Creature’s, Poppit and my personal yet!~my eyes wouldn’t let me keep playing yesterday.
TY #31 kodi for the tip on BC will help me out for sure.
A friend gave me a tip on getting the 10K Yahoo tokens and it worked for me finally~she told me to play it twice and sure enough on the 2nd go at it I got my tokens~hope that helps others that haven’t gotten the tokens yet.
Have a great day everyone and I hope to see ya at Pogo 🙂
badlokii says
Once you finish the mini golf badge, check your stats and see how many hole-in-ones you got. I was pretty close to 50 so I continued to play to 50 hole-in-ones and got the one hit wonder badge as well. Many thanks for the screen shots on how to get those hole-in-ones as well.
beth says
hi every 1 i know this is gonna seem outta left field but i was so steamed and mad i had to tell some 1 and it does pertain to weekly badges tho its my personal badge…. that said i went to choose my personal this week as i have 4 poppit badges left in the only album i have left to choose from which is 2005 book, well guess what it will not let me select poppit for a personal, so i go to live chat help (GRKVDLORNBU) lol insert ur own favorite curse word there lol and pogo macy tells me the only way for 3 weeks i can choose poppit for a personal badge is first i have to complete the SPECIAL EDITION badge, so i told him i may not want to participate in the special edition badge, and his reply was well you will have to wait until may 12 before you can activate a poppit challenge then…how wrong is that? always before when we had special badges or extra badges we could activate personal of the like, is that just wrong or is it me? i saved those poppits just to do with this special edition because we had 3 weeks to complete it and that would be 3 personals knocked out with it… lol that is just sad!
thanks for letting me vent…..
MomsBassetHound says
You can never activate a personal (weekly) badge when there is already a weekly (or special) badge active in the same game. It has been that way since I joined in 2004. You need to complete the weekly badge first.
The only badges that you can do together with a weekly badge is a Mix & Match badge, or a badge from a premium album.

pastorpapabear says
Hole #18 on the warm up. Advice anyone on how not to get a 6?
DebbieSLP says
MiniGolf — Supposedly there is an option to “take 6” if you know you cannot complete the hole. For some reason, I never get this option unless I go ahead and hit that ball six times. THEN the “take 6” comes up, when I no longer need it. It seems to me the whole reason for having a “take 6” option is to avoid the waste of time and the frustration of taking useless shots.
Does anyone else actually get the choice to “take six” and give up on the hole BEFORE hitting the ball six times? If so I would love to know the secret. It is maddening to have to hit the ball any old way, and keep waiting for it to come to a stop, over and over and OVER, knowing full well there is no way I can get it in even with the six shots. On those holes I have taken to hitting it as softly as possible to get the six shots done sooner with less headache, which gets me calling the game stupid just the same. Just let me Take 6 already, or don’t offer it at all!
Especially for a badge like this where I would rather just skip the most impossible holes as quickly as possible, I wish that “Take six” really meant take six and move on. Why even have it there? It’s just a tease. I would actually like MGM if it weren’t for frustrating glitches like this.
Kaye says
btw mambear – the Yahoo 10k promotion – if you click hint, it brings up the correct person/group etc under the contest questions. So select hint then choose the correct answer and continue – easy peasy
I had no idea what I was doing in beakers but I seemed to manage enough perfect matches that it didn’t take long to get.
Re the one shot on the spaceman one on warmup. You CAN get a 1 shot if you select a mulligans help, I don’t think it counts as a hole in one – but it did say 1 shot of a par 2 after I did that once
CAbreeze79 says
pastorpapabear #55 – Re: hole 18 on warm up called Clown Around in 2 shots. First choose the bottom tee. Shot one – Make a soft shot just past the red ball/water hazard, but not far enough to encounter the gold wall. Shot two – Aim for the hole to the upper right. Once your ball drops into that hole, it will automatically pop up in the red area and roll into the cup for a -1 (birdie). Hope this helps.
Gecko says
For DebbieSLP: I’m guessing that the Take 6 doesn’t come out until you’ve made it that far because in real life most Mini Golf rules also state that you should shoot to either 5 or 6 (depending on the course) and then take the max score and move on. I think they are just trying to be true to life.
I finally managed MG by just playing the front 9 of the Warm Up course over and over again until I think I could do it in my sleep. My eyes are going fuzzier staring at BC than they were over the free episodes of Clue! I’ll be in the rooms a lot this week!
l3ear's Mrs. says
Richard K
🙁 I’m never been called a “pogo bragger/fibber” before.
I know you weren’t calling me that but I sure would have liked to have been on that conversation between you and him.
I kinda enjoyed doing this weeks 2 challenges. (3-times each). It’s my personal challenge I wish I had picked a different one for.
As always–Be safe All

badlokii says
I tried to get the Bird’s Eye Badge, game award, after completing the Chip Shot Badge since it is also based on holes under par. I have 41 birdies and 86 hole-in-ones which should be enough for 99 holes under par. I’m guessing that the Chip Shot Badge is interfering with it and it will probably activate if I play another round next week after the Chip Shot Badge is done.
irene299794 says
Hi All
badlokii #61 I should of recieved the one shot wonder badge for 50 holes in one but have not got it, going to try your suggestion of doing a round next week, if i do not get it then I will contact pogo
Thats to those who have done the screen shots, found them very helpful & completed the badge quite quickly
Irene
Cupcakes_and_Cards says
Badlokii #61 and Irene #62
I was doing the weekly challenge and first of all, I won the ‘One Hit Wonder’ badge. Then won the challenge badge itself. I carried on playing and according to my stats I now have well over 100 ‘holes in one’, yet I haven’t won the Birds Eye badge. Strange, hey?
I’m also going to wait until the new challenges are released, then go back to MGM and see if I get it then.
Caren says
Badlokii #61, Irene #62, and Cupcakes_and_Cards #63
I got the ‘One Hit Wonder’ badge but didn’t realize because it didn’t pop up a window telling me. I was looking at my badges and was surprised to see it there, since I didn’t even know about it. Check to see if you have the badge in your collection.
foxylady48091196 says
i had a lot of fun with pop it this week it took some time but got there
thanks
foxylady48091916
Cyrabi says
Hi All. For Beaker Creatures I think you need Flash not Java to play it.
For Mini Golf pick an easy course and use the power-ups, the ones I use are Stop, Big Gulp, and Mulligan. You can zoom in too.
For the Special Edition Poppit badge all prizes released count and you don’t have to win the game to get credit. GL ALL.
Pat says
To all those who werent playing MGM when it first came out, hole in ones are not considered under par. Not becuse they arent under par; but, because pogo already designated an area for hole in ones. (that is pogo logic). So, to get the badge, it is total of eagles, birdies, and double birdies or whatever they are called. If ya add these up, they then have to add up to the 100.
If ya still dont have the badge after that, contact pogo help. Frustrating, but, have to play under pogo rules, or they will just give ya a runaround.
mspatmac says
Pat, I got the badge by following fish’s advice See quoted below– It was all holes in one. I also got some other special bade, I guess for holes in one, not sure. It’s called the one hit wonder badge. Maybe I just lucked out but got the badge in about 15 min.
fish 04.21.10 at 12:54 pm
for the golf game theres a quick way to advance for the badge . select easy then the sept 1 2009 game you should get a head shoot hard through his mouth when the score comes up hit new game then select sept 1 again and over an over again
Cupcakes_and_Cards says
Pat #67
Thanks for explaining things, now I know why I haven’t got the badge. What you said made perfect sense – and when I rechecked my stats, holes in one are indeed shown separately to pars. I should’ve picked up on that, but my brain was pickled from doing Poppit LOL (well that’s my excuse!). Thanks again.
Pat says
To Mspatmac #68, You are so right, my fault. I should have specified which under par badge I was talking about. There is a 1-hit wonder for 50 hole in ones. There is also a bird’s eye badge for under par. The 1-hit wonder only counts holes in one obviously. The bird’s eye badge counts those Under par EXCEPT for hole in ones. Hope that makes it clearer. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Rachel says
If any1 is having trouble with the poppit badge or just want to finish it quicker, the glitch is still working .)
MomsBassetHound says
But remember that Pogo considers using the qlitch as cheating and that means that it is against their TOS. If you were ever lucky enough to win a JP that could disqualify you.

bert hurley says
i love to play play pogo and to get the tokens and be honest about everything
bert
sog says
Yes,
Rachael #71 – ty for shortcut/hint. In this particular case it is on I won’t use, but shortcuts, hints and reminders are part of what keeps BH so great.
Suz #72- ty so much for the heads up. I do enter the drawings, but even if I didn’t, I want to abide by TOS. Plus, sometimes it just isn’t really clear if someting is or isn’t within TOS.
Mamabear says
#57 Kaye~I always use the hint on the Yahoo promo b/c I rarely know the answers. Since the new promo came out I couldn’t get the 10000 tokens despite playing it everyday, but once I played back to back I got my tokens. Hopefully when I play this Thursday I’ll get my tokens again.
#59 gecko~I played MGM the same way you did~I’m terrible at golf, but only on Pogo for some reason. Guess I’m to impatient 🙂
I got the Birds Eye badge and also went up to rank 10 in MGM~glad I’m done with that challenge anyway.
MomsBassetHound says
I am so glad that they had a weekly badge in Beaker Creatures. I have been having so much fun. I am up to rank 30, playing on hard and getting 9 rank points per game, and over 1,000 tokens per game. I have found that you can get perfect matches about 99% of the time, if you take the time to look.
Suz
Badlokii says
OK
I finally got the birds eye badge. I read a lot of screwed up stuff about that badge in a MGM thread. I still don’t know how I got it based on my stats. It didn’t want to give it to me for 41 birdies and 86 hole-in-ones. I figure it must not count hole-in-ones as under par, also suggested in the MGM thread. It gave it to me for 75 birdies and 164 hole-in-ones, so it’s counting some of the hole-in-ones as under par as well. It also popped up at the same time that I got the New Putter Badge. Who knows, that badge is still weird.
