At first I thought two Lottso Express badges??? Then realized the one is actually Keno Pop… no blue balls in LE that I know of! Balloon Bounce will be the tough one… and could do without Ali Baba Slots, but a good album, buying this one for sure.
Cher says
I checked it out and every game looks doable without an problems…But the only one I’m confused by is the balloon bounce where you have to play a bonus mission(something like that). I don’t know what they mean. Maybe somebody here will know. Thanks and enjoy the album!!
Randy says
Love the badges in this album. I dont have to worry about spending 86 gems, Woke up this morning and found it in my gifts. So nice of one of my friends.
kathy says
hi the badges are cute ,, the badges will take some time
for lottso express , hit new game when you reach the 1st goal and will save you some time
as for balloon bounce… the bonus mission come up when you play
for example make 10 giant balloons and then a timer comes and you have so much time to finish the mssion…… and most of them are easy…
good luck with the badge
Rob says
wow 57 bingos on yellow cards in Luau, 57 level ones in Lottso Express….yuck…might be time to use phone a friend lifeline lolol j/k I gather score 57 x with a blue ball is not lottso express, but keno pop…not sure which is worse lol…but they are all doable…I always lament about the 5 minute badges not being worth the gems…these will be true challenges, and heaven forbid I don’t buy a book haha…have a good week all.
starrynight says
Was going to get this album, love the theme and the icons are cute, but 57 games of Bingo Luau? 57 blue balls for KenoPop? 57 Balloon Bounce bonuses? I’ll pass, lol. I want to enjoy myself when working on albums, not drive myself crazy, lol. Good luck to all those that buy it, that’s for sure! 🙂
Only advice I can give is to hit New Game after the 1st round on Lottso Express., and keep hitting New Game on Daily Crossword until you see a Gift Word.
pogosmygame says
Took Pogo 2 months to put out this album and they still managed to screw it up. My first thought when I saw 2 Lottso Express (which I hate with a passion), was Oh no, two badges? Then I read the description and of course it’s Keno Pop. Wtg Pogo….lol! From the looks of it, I’ll be done with this album in about 2 months, which is when Pogo will have the next album ready, if going by the missed May album is any indication. I’m also surprised they added 2 badges. The preview had only 8 listed. So that’s a plus. Overall, very lengthy badges, but at least we won’t have to complain that we don’t have new badges to do. GL with your albums all!
On a side note, what happened to the Q&A section Lura? I can’t find it anywhere. I hope it’s not some problem I’m experiencing on my end.
Lura says
pogosmygame: Q&A is listed under Community in the navigation menu up top.
jigsawing says
Animation is awesome. But, lotsa lunch bags to pack.
mellowmaddy1 says
It looks like a great album. Some will be fairly quick others will take a while a nice mix. I just love all the badges for this book.
pogosmygame says
Thank you Lura for pointing that out. Miss the blue box, but will learn to live with it I’m sure. The new Logo and blue and green color scheme is WAY better. Great job!
minty222 says
looks like a nice little album.. colorful graphics and decent icons. good luck for everyone working on it. have a great day.

Word Search Daily tip:
As with all Word Search Daily “Gift”/Bonus Word badges, you give a token gift to a player in the room when you find a word that has a missing letter in the word list. For example, if you had a list of words and one was H_ngry, when you find HUNGRY in the puzzle and solve the entire puzzle, you will give a token gift to another player.
Remember that you can change difficulty/change puzzles until you find a puzzle with a gift word. Also, I would suggest playing in a room with lots of players, because I am not sure if gifts count when given to yourself.
My only problem with this badge will be all the TY/YW/GG/WTG that will fill up the chat screen, which I have to keep open to track my progress.
Joe C says
Bingo Luau Tip:
If you want to ensure that you get a Yellow Bingo every game, play in a Blackout Sharing room. You can daub every number and claim the three bingos when the 75th ball is drawn. No bingos can be claimed until the 70th ball is drawn, ensuring that all 75 numbers will be drawn each game.
You can also jump from sharing room to sharing room, limited only by how quickly you can daub 25 daubs on 3 cards. When Bingo Luau is updated for Fourth Of July background, Yellow Bingo (middle) becomes White Bingo. Fourth of July has red/white/blue cards instead of red/yellow/green.
eggfarmer says
Am I missing something? What is Pogo’s obsession with 57?
Lura says
eggfarmer: funny you should ask!

goofygoober519 says
I always love a challenge – and looks like this album has plenty of them. Only game I really don’t like is Lottso Express but it’s not that bad… anything is better than the usual Mahjong Garden or Jungle Gin in every other album 🙂
Joe C says
Ali Baba Slots tip:
All slots badges requiring you to win X tokens only mean you need to have payouts equal to the X token requirement. It does not take into consideration how many tokens you bet. In the case of multiple line slots games like Hog Heaven Slots and Monopoly slots, it does not take into consideration how many lines you bet. It does not take into account any tokens you lose trying for your payout total.
You can “lose” lots of tokens while making badge progress. If tokens are a small concern to you, max out your bet.
Also, Premium and Mix badges like this Ali Baba Slots challenge are a GREAT way to meet the requirements for Special Edition badges that require you to win X badges in a time period. Personally, I highlight a badge like this and win it X times and up pops the Special Edition badge.
Currently, there are no Special Edition badges planned, but Pogo usually has one for Fourth of July/Summer. (Special Edition, not the Limited Edition Mix badges)
Ed says
One of the difficulties with the Balloon Bounce badge is that the game has a bug where it often does not count giant balloons during a giant balloon mission. I noticed this long ago and apparently it’s never been fixed. Also, if it IS counting the giant balloons, sometimes your progress isn’t counted down visibly do you’re not sure how many more you need or if the game simply isn’t counting them. Ugh.
Mrs. Mike Brown says
Vaults..I’m still having nightmares about that game. The badges seem too long but doable.
Ed says
I think I know why Balloon Bounce is not always counting giant balloons. When I first see that the mission is for giants, I start making them right away. Problem is, the timer hasn’t started. Making a giant before the timer starts seems to mess up the count. So if you see this problem too, wait for the timer to start and it appears that the game will count progress correctly.
MomsBassetHound says
Mrs. Brown #21 – I did the Vaults badge first so I didn’t have to have nightmares over it 🙂

Will love this one when I get around to it LOL. I am working on slingo now for my daughter (rank 48 so far and 20 on my account) maybe by then I will be more able to get this one and work on it. Some seem like they could take a while which is good
cora says
I won’t be getting this Album right away maybe someday when it goes on sale just finished up three I bought on the last sale 🙂
sandeye says
Oh I love this one ..too ..looks like a nice challeging one to do . So will put it on my wishlist…. Another tropical / underwater very refreshing albums…lol It will be a good one on those cold winter nites to work on…
cocacoiakid16 says
Am I the only one that thinks the KenoPop badge (scoring with the blue ball 57 times) will take FOREVER?? I rarely get the blue ball anyways, but when I do get it, for it to actually fall into one of the numbers I pick is extremely rare…And to have that happen 57 times?? Well, I may become President of the National Society of Women before that happens…And I’m a man!
I look forward to hearing how this badge is going for people.
MomsBassetHound says
While doing the badge in Everyone Wins Bingo a fellow BH’er said hello. I was trying to mark my numbers and by the time I looked at the chat they had gone. I felt really bad and just wanted to say that I was not ignoring you, was just too slow 🙂
I’m finding that the EWB badge is taking awhile b/c I’m not getting wilds on that bingo, and I just can’t make myself take a bingo if I don’t send a wild…LOL

playerpokermama4 says
The Keno Pop badge is taking a VERY long time BUT…… you also make progress if a blue ball lands in a spot where a power up is used. For example I save my 3 vertical power ups and use them all together when I see blue balls in the hopper. Even if it doesnt drop in one of my 10 numbers I get credit. My advice save those power ups!! Good Luck!!!
Phil says
not a bad badge album some quite nice challenging challenges a couple of easy ones
By the way Loving the new look of Badgehungry Lura you have done a splendid job:)
Am off back to London to carry on watching the Queens Jubilee Celebrations.its been so cool so far:)
Storm says
The animation in this PBA is great, I will enjoy doing this one.
Bingo Luau and Lottso! Express will take the longest. The rest are decent challenges.
The Vaults of Atlantis Slot challenge will go quickly considering they have adjusted the game!
GenieBn2 says
This looks like a great album, and I love all of the badges. These are the kind of badges I like best, bright and vibrant, and no face icons. Looking forward to getting this one, and kicking myself right now for foolishly making a bet with my girlfriend that I could go an entire month without buying any gems, lol. Enjoy everyone, and have a wonderful day!
3maltese4Amanda says
When I play the bonus rounds in Balloon Bounce, I always nnly play the ” kill 3 aliens in a row” one because, as others have noted, the ” Make 10 Giant balloons” is a lot harder to do, and the game starts counting the progress at a strange time sometimes.
Just a suggestion to anyone having trouble with this one. The 3X Aliens is a lot easier to do, I think.

Cher says
I have completed 7 of the 10 challenges so far. I’m currently working on the Keno Pop challenge. Been playing for over 2 hours and only have 5 of 57. I think I’ll be here until Christmas!! LOL So far the easiest one was Vaults. Twenty minutes from start to finish!! Good luck all and enjoy!
thetoreturegirl says
Got to start saving up some gems for this album
Webbie says
I just completed the Word Search badge. What I did to speed things up was to find a date (I used May 22) where there were not too many words in the list and contained a gift word. It should be noted that the gift word does not appear every time you play the date. What I did was load the date, then toggle between “Easy” and “Medium” levels until the gift word showed up again, then played it. If you are really patient with toggling, you will get the gift word again on the “Easy” level.
Hope this helps and does not cause more confusion LOL,
v says
thanks Playerpokermama and any others that gave info about the blue balls counting with power ups in Kenopop. Realllly made a big difference. not a quick badge, but much better, much more doable using the power ups to help.
jigsawing says
I finished the album this evening. Pack breakfast, lunch and dinner, and perhaps even a sleeping bag for Keno. However, it does seem that they have added more blue balls to help us out.
Carol says
Having a terrible time getting anywhere in the Balloon Bounce badge challenge. Should I be playing on Normal difficulty or Easy? Can’t get the missions to come up to save me! Any suggestions?
eggfarmer says
Carol – it doesn’t matter which level you play on, I always play on easy. The missions are there I promise you.
Below the bottom line of the game screen is a box and during the game it will announce the mission and give you a time to complete it in. You may not have noticed it – so scroll down a bit.
The missions vary from inflate 10 giant balloons, to have a three or four alien streak, to score so many point etc.. and usually in each round there are three missions.
I hope this helps, but if not pogo message me and I’ll come to balloon bounce and help you.
Carol says
Thanks eggfarmer for your kind help and suggestions. I’ve completed the game and know about the missions and where they show up, I just can’t get them to show up today. After 8 hours of play and only one mission to show up and be completed, I’m giving up for today and will attempt to battle the balloons tomorrow. If tomorrow doesn’t appear fruitful, I will pogo message you for help. Thanks again!

Keno Pop tip:
If you see blue balls in your tubes, play your power ups. If the blue ball lands in one of them it counts.
