kiki says
That Flower Daze challenge will force me to use those power-ups whether I normally do or not, but man, 100?! If you play on Hard, that’s a lotta games.
This whole album makes me realize that I normally eschew using Power-ups. But I think it’s a novel idea for a PBA and has some of my fave games in it.
MomsBassetHound says
Be careful with Squelchies b/c I’m only getting credit for the power ups in round 2, no credit for round 3 and 4. I started over and got credit for round 2 again, but nothing after that. So now I will do 2 rounds and leave the game and then start over.
Have fun everyone!!
Suz
Dave says
No gems to get this one 🙁
kiki says
I’m only getting credit for the Blowfish, but I get credit for all of them regardless of round.
Dan says
At least you have got some credit Moms, played through 3 waves and have nothing to show for it. If Pogo are going to release a badge album the least they could do is make sure it gives you correct credit.
As for the other badges, Flower Daze may take a while, as will Thousand Island Solitaire if your luck of winning is like mine, thats 7 trips round, so 35 wins.
MomsBassetHound says
There are no power ups in Squelchies in round 1 (first 3 waves). They start in round 2.
I don’t normally use the power ups in most games either, so will be playing different for this album.
Suz
Dan says
Just noticed something, Lura, you have Squelchies listed as 60 blowfish, on Pogo it just says to use 25 power ups, so maybe Pogo forgot to change the requirements over which is why blowfish are the only ones counting, I never had any of those
kiki says
I’m only playing on Medium, so I’m getting one in the 1st round as well. I can attest that it’s the Blowfish power-up you want to pursue in Squelchies. You can click New Game till you see them if you want to cut to the chase.
beth says
🙁 dang suz i couldnt even beat ya to this for b-day gift….GRRRRR and u have everything lol in mall so HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!y– hope you have a wonderful day, and pogo was so nice to release this album just for you lol….
im not use to using many power ups either so i will have to play differently for this album as well…
enjoy the new album all!!
April5275 says
Help please! I’m feeling really stupid but I can’t figure out how to activate the blowfish in Squelchies. I click on them but nothing happens. DUH
maxit11331 says
I dont know why the other power-ups dont count in Squeshies but the blow fish is definitely the only power-up you get credit for the badge…..if you play on medium and keep hitting new game…they will show up pretty quick and each game afterwards for that round they are there also….
MomsBassetHound says
April – You have to place the 2 blowfish next to each other or on top of each other, 2 opposite blowfish, not 2 that are alike.
Thanks for the birthday wishes!!!
Suz
April5275 says
Thank you so very much! Talk about a DUH moment for me. I was trying to move the red blowfish on the sides…lol.
widow says
sorry dave, i know just how ya feel :(. i don’t have enough gems today either…
gl and happy badge-pursuing to all the rest of you!
suz, will tell you “happy birthday!” here and now, although i believe when the cat was let outta the bag it’s actually tomorrow…
lisa says
Same issue here with Squelchies – only receiving credit for blowfish. And of course I only had one wave with blowfish, but plenty of tornadoes and starfish…
Pat says
No, her birthday is actually TODAY and I had a real problem buying for her. She does own much of the mini mall already. Couldn’t send her backgrounds, clothes, dog toys, etc, so I sent her a snake. LOL Surprisingly, she had never bought that for herself, so, no duplicates there. I am back from errands and about to start new PBA (which was a sweet gift, ty adelie). And, of course, came here first to get the whassup on the games. Keep the hints rolling, as this looks like a wash, rinse, repeat book.
JMWilden says
Glad I checked here first before activating the Squelchies challenge. I don’t normally use the power-ups in most games so this will be different for me, too.
Happy Birthday, Suz! I hope you have a great day.
Joan
MomsBassetHound says
Thanks for the birthday wishes Widow!!
Suz
mspatmac says
Hi all. I played Squelchies on medium and kept hitting new game until blowfish came up. On medium, you get power ups on the first round. Went pretty fast after someone in the room shared this tip.
Off topic just a bit! Expressions are the only way to go if you want to send something to someone who has everything you come up with to send already in their closet (two special ladies I am thinking about). After an hour of trying to find mall items they didn’t have, I had to go with expressions. Soooo, I’m very happy that was an option.
Have fun with the album
MomsBassetHound says
Thanks for the birthday wishes JMWilden!!
And thanks to everyone who has sent me Pogo mail….you have all made the day very special for me.
I finished the Squelchies and am now working on Keno Pop. This is a good one to work on when you don’t want to have to think 🙂
Suz
gael says
I read where someone wanted to send and “expression” for a gift to a friend….from what I am hearing, and this was not advertised by Pogo, the expression you boght maybe be one that “disappears” after a while.
IF that is the case, we should have been notified of it, and which expression (frankly NONE should disappear) are effected by a disappearing act! Thanks for the tip’s on Squelchies..I think it may have taken a while or some questions of other member’s in the room to help me thru it..now I can lend a hand to another player. BTW, Badgehungry is a wonderful site, and we all appreciate your dedication and hard work to maintain this site.
noremmy says
Hi BHer’s
On the Crossword Cove challenge in the new PBA, if you play on Easy, you will earn 4 powerups on each puzzle. Hope that helps E1..have a great day!!!

cocacoiakid16 says
gael (#21)…When you go shopping for expressions, pogo tells you how long that expression will last in the receiver’s gift book. Look for the ones that are permanent, and they will not disappear.
Some things for this album that I found helpful:
Crazy Cakes – If you have three power-ups under the counter and someone gives you a gift, the gift will not give you another power-up but just more money. Make sure to use the power-ups so your stockpile is never full.
Flower Daze – If you just want to get this badge quicker, you may want to play on the easy skill level since you get two power-ups per game instead of just one.
I hope these hints help…And thank you all for informing me about the Squelchies misprint! Pogo has done it again! lol
Pat says
I think any expression in any way that says I am thinking of you on your special day just warms my heart. Don’t need tokens or gems to say that. I even sang Oh, Momsbassett had a hound and her name is Holly to Moms dog !!!! lol It is so nice to have a BH community that can laugh, enjoy, and encourage one another. Last nite, between Twisty, Moms (Suz), and myself messaging each other, I laughed till I had tears in my eyes. I laughed even more when Suz added the snake to her birthday party. Gotta see it; It is so cute. i love these BHGals, they have added so much to my play on Pogo. Thanks for this site. Know it is about the PBA, so I better get back to it. Back to the challenges. Think I will leave Flower Daze till last. Is there just one power up that counts per game in there or 100 games that you use the power-up?
l3ear's Mrs. says
Hi just a quickie, cause my fingers are hurting.
(yeah right! like that’s gonna stop me)
Well I’m joining the line of waiting to buy this PBA. My gem drawer is empty. I’m hoping it will be on sale at least by August. Maybe Pogo will have a mega sale for their 11yr Anniversary.
When you do the Flower Daze Badge — remember that those power-up so many hate to use –There is a Game Award Badge that requires you to use at least 2,500 for 5,000 games. I had ranked out at 3, 875 games for Flower Daze,(I got hooked on it) and still have not received the 2 Game Award Badges.( I’m working on them)
Pat, I gave up to after 10 tries, took the easy way out and opted for the Expressions to Miss Mini Mall Hound. I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one laughing with tears last night. You , Suz – and I also have to include Mamabear cause her and I were busy writing novels back and forth too. So I was a busy little pogo’r typing away. I so needed those laughs. You all are surely the best. Thank you for coming into my life.
I’m sure by now you are tired of hearing this Happy Birthday Suz. May all your wishes come true. Huggz ( ppsst. Suz, we’ll attack Pat tomorrow.)
Happy PBA Day!

MomsBassetHound says
Pat – Looks like it’s just 100 power ups, but with the way Pogo has been writing the descriptions we really won’t know until someone does it.
And I laughed so hard last night that I woke Holly up from a sound sleep…..she gave a dirty look for disturbing her…LOL
Suz
CAbreeze79 says
Flower Daze wasn’t so bad…about 90 minutes on easy level, using 2 power-ups each game. I am addicted to it anyway, so it was an easy choice for me.
mumson45 says
Hi all
I have done the Flower Daze badge in the new album, ( well did it for hubby ) whew what a challenge that was, because at most you only get 2 power ups at a time, so will take 50 games to complete.
mumson45
mumson45 says
ohh forgot to say, before starting the keno badge, go into it and accumulate the full 9 power ups then activate the badge, you can get more power ups as you play, probably wont take as long
mumson45
cocacoiakid16 says
Another hint for Crazy Cakes…The Wizard (the one who just appears at the counter out of nowhere with the long beard) will always give you a power-up as his reward.
Mrs. Mike Brown says
Happy Birthday Moms!!!
Danny says
I think the badge album loks good but at the moment i have no gems and need to finish the albums i still have to finish! lol, gl all
MomsBassetHound says
Thanks Mrs. Brown!!
Working on Crazy Cakes and have never used a power up in this game, so using them, but no idea what they are doing for me…LOL
Suz
KathySNJ says
I haven’t started playing yet, but with Crossword Coves it says EARN 20 powerups. Don’t you get 4 powerups on easy? so if you wait 5 days you can get this one really quick. It doesn’t say use them, just earn them. Right?
KathySNJ says
Crazy Cakes Fireworks are the most common, they keep the customers Happy. LOL Try clicking on the flower, it gives you more time I think. It grows alot I mean fast.
CAbreeze79 says
You don’t have to wait for new puzzles in Crossword Cove. You can replay 5 old puzzles on easy level with 4 power-ups each. This one goes quickly. You will not get tokens or rank progress, just the badge 🙂
Donna O says
the thing about Squelchies is you only get credit for the Blowfish powerups…once again Pogo doesn’t explain properly
cocacoiakid16 says
Kathy (#34)…If you don’t want to wait 5 days to get the Crossword Cove badge, you can replay crosswords that you have already completed in the past and get power-ups on those days. Of course, you won’t get rank progress for these games, but you’ll get the badge quicker.
mspatmac says
Just finished crazy cakes, what a chore! Crossword went really fast, played on easy, got 4 PU per game, 5 games and done. I do not play this daily so had plenty of games to play.
Happy Birthday Pat
MomsBassetHound says
I redid today’s puzzle 5 times to get the CC badge since I’m all caught up on both sides.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MDF PAT!!!!!!!!!
Suz
Pat says
GM all, thank you for all the gifts, expressions, and warm wishes. They are very appreciated !!! Moms sent me a whole party room, complete with cake and balloons, so I could look more festive. When the baby got here (at 7:00 a.m., mind you) he was so excied to see the party. So, ty all for joining in the celebration. You make me feel all warm and fuzzy. BH is a nice place to hang out !!! Now, back to the dailies and badge hunting. TYASVM.
Trish says
I’m doing my first album (courtesy of a very dear friend)….yes, what can I say, I AM a cheapskate, but with a daughter going to college and all….lol. Nah…..jst too many old personals to catch up with that’ll probably keep me busy for YEARS!!! Anyways late last nite, in the few minutes it took to get the Mini Golf badge, someone in the room FINISHED the album….now THAT’S A FEAT!!!!
Hope everyone’s enjoying the album as much as I am….and SOOOO VERY SORRY to the ones who have to miss out. Hope you see better times, soon so you can get back to your badge hunting!!!
Pat says
Going for poppit now–Just wanted to remind all to look for the little stars on the balloons (can’t use that glitch, if ya did before)–If there are not 2 (two) balloons with stars on them, the power-ups, hit New Game. That way, will need 30 games times 2 PUs for the total 60.
Pat says
Oh, it also says USE 60 power-ups, as opposed to earning them, so be sure to do so. Even if ya have to use UNDO to get to a point to use the push-pin or weight, make sure they are USED.
Rachel says
Hi, In poppit for the 60 powerups, U can just do the ballons with the powerups, use em and hit new game. This is alot faster since the glitch dosen’t work anymore. Hope this helps!
MomsBassetHound says
Thank You Rachel!!!! I just so dislike the game and so glad I came here before I started Poppit 🙂
Suz
mspatmac says
Well that was fun! Some of the badges are cute this time around, must have some new artists. Nice to buy an album and not stress over any of the games in it, Suz, are you over your Birthday yet? Hope it was great.
beth says
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAT!!! hope ya enjoy your day…..
well im like twisty, im gonna wait and see if pogo puts this album on sale, lol if its like she said “august” it will be my b-day lmao and if they do i will surely treat myself lol….i was just spending way too much on gems and it has been a chore stopping 🙁
laura says
hi happy birthday moms,where are the power ups in crazy cakes, and do you have to win all these games in order to get the badge thank you for any help
MomsBassetHound says
The power ups in Crazy Cakes are under the counter where you serve the deserts.
I don’t think there are any games that you need to win for this album.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. If I missed anyone I am so sorry. I’ve tried to thank everyone b/c I really appreciated all that was said and done.
Suz
l3ear's Mrs. says
sneaks in to hug Pat;
Happy Birthday to my new friend.
Hope you have a wonderful Birthday and the kids allow you to blow out your own candles. (ppsstt!! I’ll take a little sliver of cake )

Indy70 says
Thanks all for the tip about the squelchies challenge and the blowfish powerup as well as other hints for the new album. Probably purchase that album this weekend.
Happy Birthday Pat and wishing you many many more. Hope your day has been outstanding.
And a belated Birthday to Moms. I didn’t get a chance to pop in here yesterday, so I’m veru sorry I didn’t wish you a good day yesterday. So belated is better than forgotten, I hope. Wishing you many many more.
Pat says
TY Beth and Twisty and to all the others who sent greetings or stopped by in rooms to chat with me today. I am overwhelmed by the warmth expressed by the BH fans, always knew they were remarkable. I really think we need a month and date for birthdays of those on the site. Then we can reach out to our internet family here and celebrate with them. Between my BH friends and neighbors stopping by, as well as my large extended family, this day has been so enjoyable. Besides that, have been working on the new PBA–only got about 1/2 done so far..A few have told me they have finished the whole book, so wtg, quite an achievement. Well, back to load another badge in the chute…ty again. Pat
l3ear's Mrs. says
Yes I ‘d have to agree and had mentioned on here a few months back that a B’day list would be a nice addition to BH. Of course year should NOT be included.
How about it Lura, I would be happy to collect that info for you, since I already have a pretty good list started for myself.
twisty ~,*/
Lura says
l3ear’s Mrs.: yes please email me the info you have. Since I’ve had more than a few requests for this type of information, I’d be happy to put something together. Maybe on the weekend open thread we can ask for more to add?
Let’s get back to the topic at hand and pick this up at the weekend open thread. 🙂
MomsBassetHound says
Thanks Indy!!
I need to change something I said earlier. It appears that the only lifesaver that works is the one you get at the Pogo Mart, so you need to win the games so you can get back to that stop.
Suz
Ro says
Hi Lura…hope baby is making you smile everyday…
Finished the album a little while ago; the flowers were making me blind & thousand island took awhile – at least the pogo gods didn’t hold back on the lifesavers : )
But, I have to say that I think the album was a fair one & not really stressful to do…it was fun to go back to some games I had ranked out on & have a badge to get for playing them…
Good luck to all on Wednesday badges…
Ro
Gary says
while doing the power up badge for squelchies i fine you have to have the power up of the blowfish and not all the power ups count just the blowfish
whanapian2 says
Just got completed the album badge in 1 day after they released it. The only hard one (i mean long time to get) is Squelchies and Flower Daze. Perhaps i can share my strategy here 😛
1. Squelchies – Play on Medium and keep clicking new game until the blowfish show and finish the round
2. Poppit – Keep hitting new game until got the star ballon, get the power up, use it, new game, and so on.
3. World Class Solitaire – Same as Poppit but here dont use it
4. Keno Pop – Uh…no strategy just keep playing
5. Hog Heaven Slots – No strategy
6. Thousand Island Solitaire – Keep advancing without playing perfect game or not as long as i advance to the next isle
7. Crossword Cove – Play on Easy. Gladly i still have unsolve crossword on UK section so i use it to get the badge
8. Flower Daze – Play on Easy. It give you always 2 power up. Dont care about winning game or not
9. Crazy Cakes – Play either Begineer or Medium mode. Begineer is easier to achieve goal and get power up, but sometime you got little power up on begineer, but most of all its many. On Medium, there is this Wizard dude who always give you Power Up if you suceed
10. Mini Golf Madness – Complete the Warm Up Course, and use the power up as soon as i get it
Well, thats it. Hope that help
laura says
whanapain ,ty for the tips but u say world class dont use power ups , dont under stand that i never got that far yet , or i may be misunderstanding something here. hagd
MomsBassetHound says
You don’t NEED to use the power up in World Class, just earn the power up for the badge. But if you need it to win the game it still counts for the badge.
Suz
laura says
thank you moms (for short) for that tip , you are a wonderful lady ty and lura also for this awsome site
