Nice combination of short and long. Guess I’m going to have to brake down and buy some before a sale comes along.
Joe C says
Hooray! More badges!
No pure luck badges in the bunch. Crazy Cakes and Hog Heaven will take the longest. Each of those can be broken down into session play where one continually make progress
TIP for Hog Heaven Slots: If you have three Halos, use at least one even if it does not start a chain reaction. You will not get more Halos unless you have a free space to place it.
TIP for Perfect Pair Solitaire: Do not worry too much about making exact number of hearts to get to next port. Do your best and it will happen pretty soon, especially since sometimes, you will get “charter takes you directly to next port” as your action card.

i like most of these, bought them all, as usual.
tip for crazy cakes, play on the highest skill level that you can win. Also, if the customer asks for any flavor pie, try to give a grape pi. Or if the customer asks for Anything grape, serve a grape pie. Always try to have a grape pie available, if possible.
nessa says
I did opposite of what Joe #2 said and went for the exact hearts. Badge took me only 4 games to get it.
Tip if you go this way:
Don’t go for the Perfect Pairs right away.
Same goes for the Ks , try to keep them and use them tobreak chains if you need to. Sometimes you can use the perfect pair to break a chain too.
kiki says
And of course they’re not releasing the Fortune Bingo challenge till this week’s weekly challenge is over. Got five of the six. That’s a whole lotta chicken and pie!

just wanted to point out that non of them are face badges, so that should make a lot of folks happy. 🙂 happy gaming everyone. 🙂
trenaok says
This is a terrible release for me. I will not be buying these challenges.
Stef140 says
I like this release a lot! Not too big of a fan of Stack Em but chickens are plentiful so that won’t take too long. Crazy Cakes though could be a trek if you don’t get the right customers to give them the grape pie. I am buying them all.
Susan says
Just finished a 25 Halo badge in Hogs.. definitely WILL NOT be redoing that again LOL… That took forever.. over a 5 day span (I wasn’t going to sit in a slots game for hours.. slot games require me to break the challenge up among days)
I kind of think that challenge is pure luck based, because of how many times the halo will not come up.
Might get the Perfect Pair badge, like that game and it don’t seem like it’ll take forever (that’s a game where I really like it, but if the challenge is a long one I will not get it)
BonBon says
That stinks that they didn’t put the (potential) Fortune Bingo badge out with this group. I wanted to be able to do the Weekly and that Mix-Match badge at the same time. Dang!
MomsBassetHound says
No matter what they are I will buy them and do them….LOL
And it’s good to have a couple of longer challenges, feel like I’m getting something for my gems 🙂
Good Luck!!

Nice selection of badges but i wish Pogo would make up its mind how many they are releasing each half of the month,seems ever changing
Had to buy the Lottso one as its my favourite game!
Jersey says
this is why I voted for them NOT to split up the m&m’s for the month…
You just KNOW if there’s one for Fortune Bingo, it will now be out on the 15th… grr… Pogo used to be much more generous about sync-ing up weeklies with m&m’s

Love em!

As much as I love badges, I will not buy any more mix-n-match badges until the replace the “stolen” Poppit! “Cactus Quartet” badge from my album # 5 that was completed Nov 25th 2007. There is not telling what screw up Pogo will make next with our badges whether we pay for them or not. The only ones I will buy until they fix this fiasco is the “Limited Edition” badges because they are available for only a short time. I told the pogo representative in Live chat over 2 weeks ago that I would not purchase monthly released mix-n-match badges until after they restore the one they deleted from all our albums; -(Those that purchased this badge back in 2007 or 2008).
For the principle of it, I will not purchase any more premium albums as well until they restore the deleted mnm badge.
This is going to be difficult not doing many badges for a while -how ever long that will be. I guess I will concentrate on ranking out in many games for now.

saving makeover madness for last. That’s alot of hairdos to get the tips to pay to attend the hair shows…12 times. I have limited patience with this game, so take in smaller chunks. Yep, will be the last one, so I can have the badge loaded for a few days running.
jigsawing says
Nice selection and badges. I’m half-way through the last rank in Lottso, so am looking forward to getting a little closer to finishing it with this challenge. Remember the days when you almost always were able to use 5 to 6 balls a round? Now you’re lucky if you can place 3. But I can do anything with a badge that’s “just around the corner”. lol

I agree with Pat #18 that Makeover Madness will take awhile to do. I usually use my money on the bonus game and know it takes a lot of time to get that money. When you are playing the bonus game try and keep count….if you get to 10 that is the winner.

Pat says
I loaded the makeover madness badge and went looking for compatible side badges. There is a premium in Take a Trip PBA for 8 trips to the supermodel show you may want to include. Also a weekly for 3 visits to hair show from Jan 2008.
MomsBassetHound says
Doing my last open badge – Makeover Madness – finished the 5/15 badges before this one….LOL
When you get to the Supermodel bonus show the winner will be shown 10 times, 2nd place will be shown 9 times, and 3rd place will be shown 8 times.

This tip may seem a little late, but I hope it helps someone searching for tips on this set of released Mix-n-Match badges.
I have been doing the Crazy Cakes Flying Pastries Badge today and thought I would post my tip…
If you set the skill level to Master Chef, the Grape and Pie options are there from Round 1. I used a method of reaching Round 3 (Round 4 is a little hectic!)… then I switched down to Hard skill level and back up to Master Chef to restart the round/week.
You can get quite a few grape pies per round with the above skill level.
