  1. 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?

  2. Could the games be any worse this week? Sheeeeeeesh!!!! lol Guess I will be working on some past games. 😉
    Have a great week everyone

  3. 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

  4. 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?

  5. love Zuma, play it a lot. easy enough, what can i say just enjoy, good luck all

  6. 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?

    • 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. 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!

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  14. 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!

  15. Got both. Zuma was a PITA. Took over an hour. Monopoly only took 3 games.

  16. 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

  17. 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.

  18. I have to say that I am NOT enjoying Zuma at all ! This is the worst game ever …..(jmo)

  19. 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.

  22. 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 🙂

  23. 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.

  24. 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!!!!

    Suz

  25. 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!!!!

  26. Well, both are done. Thank God for Lura and BH! “Doing the laundry” while playing Monopoly is the only way to go. lol

  27. 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.

  28. 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.

  29. still at 24 in Zuma,,,,,,,,,because I can’t get back in
    “…….problem rendering application, try again later………..”
    (can’t pogo ever fix this?)

  31. 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

  32. 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

  33. 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.

  34. anyone else having a problem getting zuma to start. i was working on it earlier but now it won’t start. any suggestions?

  35. rusty #32 Did you finish the whole game. You have to do that to get your credits for passing go.

  36. Rusty #32 I think you have to finish the game for monopoly GOs to show credit, not every time you pass during the game.

  38. 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.

  39. # 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/////////?????????????

  40. 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 🙁

  41. 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!

  42. 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……..

  43. 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.

  44. 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

  45. 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. ):

  46. I too cannot get Zuma to work. I hit start play game and nothing happens. UGH

  47. 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

  48. 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.

  49. #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)

  50. Kakyoo #54

    After you hit Play Game, try refreshing the page. (Click the refresh button on top).

  51. Thanks, Terry Ann! You’d think I would have thought of that. lol 🙂

  52. Does anyone know what stat you use to figure your rank in Zuma’s Revenge? Thanks Nanupaws

  54. 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…

  55. 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

  56. 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.

  57. 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

  58. Thank you so much Mozartjea, I tried it and it works 🙂

    Off to play Zuma !

  59. 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!!!

  60. 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.

  61. 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

  62. 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.

  63. 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.

  64. 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??

  65. 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.

  66. 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.

  67. 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

  68. 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 ?……………………

  69. 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.
