Good Morning just played Zuma. I found out if you click on the ball that is the same color Zuma is holding shooting ball will hit it. So far have 9/15 but I one who knows nothing about what I am doing. That is my hint enjoy the badge.
madmaude74 says
My Monopoly game closes every time the game is over. Did that the last time I did a badge in it. Credits you for game but you have to open another room when game is over. Anyone else having this?
Kristy says
Could the games be any worse this week? Sheeeeeeesh!!!! lol Guess I will be working on some past games. 😉
Have a great week everyone
fadedwildrose says
For Zuma: Press the space bar to switch positions of the two balls in the shooter.
Wolfe says
On Monopoly, double-browse the game and don’t buy any properties. This should make getting the badge quick and easy.
shygirlornot says
yay!! i love monopoly!! hahaha and ive never played zuma’s revenge but it shouldn’t be to bad 🙂 happy badge day to all!!
sherry
Wolfe says
Update: If not buying annoys you, auction for .01 each time. This will prevent you from having to decline buying each time you land. Got the badge in record time doing this.
Good luck!
eggfarmer says
I have paired up the weekly Zuma with a mix and match that requires me to get 12 Fruit Bonuses, and whilst the weekly is moving along fine without too much trouble, I have yet to get a Fruit Bonus – I don’t even know what I’m looking for – could someone point me in the right direction?
jinty55 says
love Zuma, play it a lot. easy enough, what can i say just enjoy, good luck all
Storm says
For Monopoly World – I set my table to 30 minutes timer under the customs tab and just played the game. I received the badge at the end of the game.
For Zuma’s Revenge – Use the pop up window for the game, then you can keep track of your badge progress on the homepage.
Terry Ann (bookdepot2733) says
I can’t seem to find some previous BH instructions that I remember involving which rules, how to set, and you get to walk away for some reason and do the laundry (or some such chore)…where are those?
Lura says
Terry Ann #11: select the Custom tab and set up your room with Speedy Rules, Fast turn timer, Game turn limit 25 (you can set everything else any way you want). When the game starts, select fast dialogs in the lower bar to speed things up. Happy laundrying.
WilliamPorygon says
eggfarmer #8 – a green melon-like fruit appears on the boards in certain spots from time to time. If you have the sound turned on it’s easier to notice when this happens because there’s a little “tink-a-tink” sound when it appears. You have to shoot any balls that are blocking the path between the frog and the fruit, then shoot through the gap hit the fruit with a ball to collect it and get bonus points. The fruit disappears after a short time so you have to do it rather quickly. Also fruits won’t appear during the end part of the levels, after you’ve filled the zuma score bar and you’re just trying to eliminate the remaining balls.
Tammy says
Zuma is an awful game! I just may have to bypass this badge. I have been playing it for an hour and only have 2/85! Pogo can keep it!
kathy says
hi for the Monopoly badge play on pogo tab set the timer for fast
and play 35 turns…. i still buy properties and do auctions so i have cash lol the game will take about 2 or 3 games because you 7 or 8 you pass gos
unless you go to jail lol .. also play the bots .
i love zuma use the highlited powerups when you come up
good luck all
StOrMyEyEs2 says
I got Zuma in 2 1/2 games – not sure if that’s good or bad…LOL!! You have to be quick, I see why there’s no chat! As for Monopoly, it’s playing as I type, the only way to go on that one.
Good luck ev1!
Shelly says
Tammy #13. When a power up shows up concentrate on matching only that ball forget the rest of the ‘train’ just match the power up ball quickly.
goofygoober519 says
Since yesterdays update, Pogo added the challenges tab to the non-chat games. You can now see your progress right on the game page. To update the progress, click the “How To Play” tab, and then the “Challenges” tab again.
Joe C says
Good luck all!
eggfarmer says
WilliamPorygon@ 12 – Thank you so much for the helpful information.
Joe C says
For those of you doubling up on the Zuma badges, activating the Mix badge “Frog-A-Zapping” requiring 12 Fruit Bonuses, here is a tip:
The Fruit Power-up is located in the upper left corner or the lower right corner. It looks like a line, it does not last a long time, it flashes and it is blocked by the chain of balls.
To activate it, you must create a gap in the chain and then shoot a ball at the power-up. In my experience, I am not always able to get it.
It is possible that the fruit power-up is in other spots or looks different, but that is my playing experience. Good luck!
CaptHitsugaiya says
Got both. Zuma was a PITA. Took over an hour. Monopoly only took 3 games.
Paris says
My Zuma will not load, I get a message I need to install my flash player which it is installed. Anyone else having this problem?
I don’t understand why some embedded games work and others don’t.
Any suggestions is appreciated
FADEDWILDROSE says
Shelly #17 is right that you have to hit the power up ball quickly when it appears, because the power up symbol will disappear and the ball goes back to being a regular ball.
~*~Bobbi~*~ says
I have to say that I am NOT enjoying Zuma at all ! This is the worst game ever …..(jmo)
Sweetness6645 says
I am in the same boat as Paris, game wont load.
Uninstalled and reinstalled flash and I am still getting the message that my flash player needs to be updated.
Lisa says
Not too bad this week.
Have a great week everyone!!
Lisa~
popcornlady says
both challenges turned out to be giant pains in the behind!!!!
PegInLA says
There are very few games on Pogo that I do not like but Zuma is #1 on my dislike list. A decent challenge for me would have been 25 powerups, not 85. Good thing we have a week to finish it. A little each day will get ‘er done 🙂
FADEDWILDROSE says
Paris and Sweetness: I always get the update flash player warning even if I just updated(I think its a way to advertise flash). I refresh my browser and then the game will load.
MomsBassetHound says
Love Zuma, it’s like Swashbucks on drugs….LOL
Monopoly is okay, just not one of my favorites, but will play it for a badge 🙂
Happy Badge Day!!!!

rusty says
ok that’s it…I quit!!! lol…have passed “go” 4 times already and still have not rec’d credit. Twice I did land on go and then passed it but the other times i passed it but nothing, zilch, nada……I give up!!!! gl e1 and have a super day!!!!
jigsawing says
Well, both are done. Thank God for Lura and BH! “Doing the laundry” while playing Monopoly is the only way to go. lol
Shelly says
Joe C #21. I am really intrigued to know what you are seeing as the fruit in your Zuma games. The fruit I see always looks like a green melon/pumpkin, it’s round with a stalk on top and can appear anywhere. I wanna see what you see! lol
Rusty #32. Are waiting until your Monopoly game has ended to see credit? None of my credit showed up until the game had ended.
Paris says
Fadedwildrose #30
I waited 2 hours and my game still would not load. I been trying off and on since 6am, it;s not just a warning. I tried different browsers and have the same problem.
~*~Bobbi~*~* says
still at 24 in Zuma,,,,,,,,,because I can’t get back in
“…….problem rendering application, try again later………..”
(can’t pogo ever fix this?)
jigsawing says
rusty #32
Remember, you have to finish the game to get credit!
Terry Ann (bookdepot2733) says
Rusty #32 ~ do not give up you can prevail. I too was only getting one credit per game no matter how many times I went around. Then Wheat sent me a set of instructions she saved from Ellen I think and which I will post here for everyone’s benefit:
You can set up Monopoly and it will play automatically, believe it or not! Not practical when you are away all day, but for short trips out, or when you are doing other stuff at home and can go back to check the game progress, a quick and painles way to rank up.
Go to the CUSTOM tab and set your game up this way:
Family Rules
Turn Timer = Fast
Bonus for landing on free parking (this is your choice)
Max number of turns in jail = 1
Do not check “players can collect rent/trade,etc. while in jail”
Need 4 houses before building hotel
check box “houses must be built evenly”
check box “limited number of houses and hotels”
UNCHECK “auction unwanted properties” (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
check box “double cash for landing on GO”
check box “10% mortgage fee”
check box “mortgage fee on transfer”
each player starts with NO properties (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
total game time limit (set for whatever game length you wish)
game turn limit = none
when bankrupt “properties are given to player that they owe”
game net worth = none
game bankrupty limit = 3 (ALSO IMPORTANT)
uncheck “allow players to replace computer players”
uncheck “allow players to watch game”
check “make table private”
It will take less time to set this up than it took me to type it or you to read it, I promise. The idea is to never have an auction for properties, as this is what causes the game to freeze up. Also you never want to start with any properties ’cause then the bots will try to trade with you and the trades make things freeze up. Finally, by setting the game bankruptcy limit to 3, it allows the game to continue even if a robot or two goes bankrupt (otherwise the game ends more quickly, when the first bankruptcy occurs).
You will not buy any properties and you will never win a game this way (tho I have often come in second) so you will never get a jackpot spin. But you will amass tokies and will definitely rank up by passing GO repeatedly. Go back and check the computer after whatever time limit you have set for the game, it will let you play again if you like or you can just leave. As I said, I do this when I am in and out all day, so the game is ranking up while I am doing more meaningful activities.
Please let me know if any of this is unclear…once you get the hang of it you will rank up pretty quickly. I have even done premium badges this way (when Monopoly is part of a premium album and I have no choice!)
Tammy says
Thank you Shelly #17, got the badge, but must admit I’d be very happy if I never saw this game again…kinda of like Swashbucks and I don’t like it either….everyone have a good day!!!
Tam
kathy says
hi all, i got my monopoly … to rusty #32 you need to finish the game to get credit for the pass go badge.. i did 2 games on pogo tab and let it run and when to the speedy game and finished one game for the badge…
good luck to all
dottiedeedee says
Rusty #32
You won’t get credits for passing go until the game is over. They aren’t shown at the time you get them. And you won’t get them if you don’t finish the game.
Terry Towle says
anyone else having a problem getting zuma to start. i was working on it earlier but now it won’t start. any suggestions?
msgoof6 says
rusty #32 Did you finish the whole game. You have to do that to get your credits for passing go.
fadedwildrose says
Rusty #32 I think you have to finish the game for monopoly GOs to show credit, not every time you pass during the game.
Linda says
I haven’t been able to get into Zuma at all.
Sweetness6645 says
Thank you fadedwildrose.
I tried what you said and nothing.
I have tried on Chrome, Mozilla and IE 9 and zip.
Maybe tomorrow it will work.
BERTI says
# 38 Terry Ann family rule wont let me do anything but fast game–cant do other settings —anyone try it and have trouble if so what am i doing wrong thanks/////////?????????????
jimladeana says
ugh! I’m about half way through the Zuma challenge and now the game won’t load…
You would think that this problem wouldn’t happen repeatedly! Now I’m feeling a lil discouraged 🙁
KillrToaster says
Happy Wednesday Everyone!
I am a huge fan of Zuma, I used to own a download version (I slayed all the levels in no time). My advise for this week is to set up your monopoly to play on it’s own and then play Zuma on the side while your monopoly runs itself.
I find many people complain about games having no chat, but my favorite part about that feature is that any game without chat can be played simultaneously with a game that has chat. So I am off to play some Zuma while my monopoly runs. Have a great week and good luck in all that you do!
~*~Bobbi~*~* says
Monopoly can run by itself? I’ve been ranked out forever & I never came across how to do that……only pause the game when I need to take a break……..
RyzandShyn says
A big THANK YOU shout-out to Terry Ann (bookdepot2733), #38 !!
Your directions worked beautifully. I had to play twice because I only got 12 pass-go during the first game. I straightened up the house, got laundry going, filled the dishwasher, and lit some candles. Nice.
Thanks for sharing.
Jennifer says
Terry #38 (or anyone who can answer this question):
I don’t mean to ask a stupid question here but how will the game play itself? I set the table up as stated and I still have to be sitting there to roll the dice. I was thinking of getting some reading done while Monopoly was having its own fun but I’ve still got to keep an eye on it. What am I doing wrong here? lol
Cher says
I completed both challenges for this week. Am not a fan of either game but it went pretty quickly. Killertoaster #49…how do you set Monopoly to play by itself? I would have loved that!!! I’m already concerned about next weeks Hearts where you have to shoot the moon. I think it will be the only badge I will not get in 9 years. ):
kaky00_ says
I too cannot get Zuma to work. I hit start play game and nothing happens. UGH
jack rudy says
Help??? Yes I need it What are the powerups???? read how to play and all those thingys IM AT 45 will git it but I just click WOW this a great challenge TY pogo git a life??? JACK
Paula says
Cher – I should be in the room wednesday and thursday nights next week, if you don’t think you can shoot the moon solo I’ll be trying to help people out. Screen name LadyElanaTepes.
Terry Ann (bookdepot2733) says
#52 ~ Jennifer: just let the timer run out and it will roll the dice for you. If you are there and want to participate … great … but read away to your heart’s content (good advice any time you are not playing Pogo and enjoying BH)
jigsawing says
Kakyoo #54
After you hit Play Game, try refreshing the page. (Click the refresh button on top).
Jennifer says
Thanks, Terry Ann! You’d think I would have thought of that. lol 🙂
Nanupaws says
Does anyone know what stat you use to figure your rank in Zuma’s Revenge? Thanks Nanupaws
kaky00_ says
thanks for the tip jigsawing but it did not work for me 🙁
Bea Plumley says
need help any clue has to how to get badge in zumma , just can’t get what ever we are to have for badge… not blonde either…
CFrank1966 says
I couldn’t play using Terry’s #38 suggestions. I kept getting a message waiting for others to join the game, even when on private. I only had an option to leave the table. Frustrating to no end, guess its back to drawing board
Mozartjea says
For all the people having problems loading Zuma’s Revenge; I had the same not loading problem after having played this game and several of the other new embedded flash games. I tried Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer to no avail. I clear all my java and internet cache files daily with the use of CCleaner and I keep flash up to date as well. I was about to the end of my patience when I decided to google Zuma’s Revenge and found a listing on the Pogo forums about some of the newer flash games needing to have “allow third party cookies’ checked in the Flash global settings.
I checked this box and then I was able to load and play Zuma’s Revenge and all the other flash games that started giving me trouble lately.
Apparently pogo has changed something in their programming of some of the flash games where third parties are involved.
Here is the link to the forum posting that you can read for yourself and make your own determination, but I fing it very convincing since it cleared up my problem.

Trouble Loading the Newer Games? Try This!
I hope this helps. Let me know.
Cass says
I’ve been playing they way Terri #38 posted for a while now and it works great.
Berti # 47 make sure you are under the custom tab then once you are at tables you should be able to pick family rules and set it up from there.
CFrank #62 Check to make sure you don’t have rated game checked. And make sure you have checked the box that comp players can replace players. That happened to me too once and that’s what the trouble was
hope it works for you both
Sweetness6645 says
Thank you so much Mozartjea, I tried it and it works 🙂
Off to play Zuma !
rusty says
thanks everyone for all of your suggestions…it’s quite possible that I did not finish the game hence no credit but……………..have been trying to set up my table per your instructions and it won’t let me change anything….now what am I doing wrong??? You’re all the best and again, thx for all ur suggestions and help!!!
lgalarza says
Thanks TerryAnn; you’re instructions were easy to follow; However you missed one step in your tip: After the bankruptcy limit = 3; you need to check allow computer to fill empty seats. once I did that I could start my game &got the badge in 90 minutes. Thanks. Hope Rusty reads this.
twinbits says
i have 15/85 now mine won’t load-guess i will try tomorrow,if that doesn’t work then won’t be doing that badge
jonnyreverend101 says
While I realize some people are having difficulty with zuma, and I agree that it isnt easy for everyone to play, I am so glad to have had a change in the challenges. I am so sick of the weekly and daily challenges always being Crazy Cakes, Makeover Madness, Sweet Tooth and other such immature games. So .. I think I am going against the majority here, but yay for change!! Zuma really isn’t difficult once you figure out how to shoot the balls. I saw a post someplace where someone commented on pogo making the game so it saves its progress as you go along. But this isn’t a pogo issue … every version of the game I have ever played always resets back to the beginning once the game needs to start over.
jimladeana says
I have noticed that if I played zuma earlier in the day, I didn’t have a problem with it loading. If I waited until evening, I either had to wait forever and refresh and wait again or got so frusterated that I would give up until the following day.
rock says
This weeks Zuma challenge is not recording proper, home page says 13 of 85 and not checked as completed, yet the badge is awarded in 2012 weekly album as 38 of 38 after many hrs of playing to get zuma to change the 13 of 85 on home page weekly challenge??
is anyone else having that problem??
tried to live chat to let pogo know of the error in recording proper but seems live chat has been shut down? all i get is grayed out page to live chat now??
gcs5656_ says
I had to to Zuma 2x after getting to 83 of 85 it took me back to 0 of 85 and I had to do the challenge all the way through again.
sayheykid98 says
I played Zuma for myself and 7 friends. I used IE. No issues, other than the bogus update flash player (which I ignored and it loaded anyway). The game does not take long. I finished each in under an hour over the course of 3 days.
Linda says
Well, it finally happened. I was able to get into Zuma and very pleased to tell that I got my badge. Thank you so much Badge Hungry and all it’s posters. Without you this wouldn’t have happened. Special thanks to Mozartjea May 10, 2012 at 3:11 am #63. I followed your directions and after that was able to play and get my badge.
Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers. hagd ev1

I keep clicking on the upcoming, hoping that Pogo changed hearts to only 1 shoot the moon ,,,,,, wishful thinking on my part
oh well, maybe tomorrow ?……………………
Doug says
Got to thank Terry ann for the setup, took 2, 45 minute games and 2, 1 hour game but got it done. this is one game i would not sorry to see go ornat least nebver have a challenge.
Cookiepress says
Thank you TerryAnn. the game kept freezing on me and with your advice it didn’t
