Gypsy says
What do they mean by clearing foundation cards? I understand what it means in spider solitaire, but not in this game.
Joe C says
Hooray!
Two new badges!
Kathy says
i think you have to win the game to count , you need to win 3 games because there are 7
foundations.
Blysse says
Very easy badges this week. Got both done in under 90 minutes total. Mahjong Escape only took me 5 games.
oxfordstnboots says
A foundation stack is all of one suit in this game and you don’t have to win the game as far as I know.
Blysse says
And for “foundation stacks”, it means when you pile up each suit from A-K. If you win the game, you only get 4.
It’s confusing wording; I had assumed it meant clearing each dealt stack below, like in Rainy Day Spider Solitaire.
gwendolen says
yep, it means getting all the cards into one of the piles. You do not have to win.
cher says
I finally got the First Class Solitaire!!!! Bye Bye now Bye Bye ):
Catherine L says
The room I was in for First Class Solitaire nearly everyone in the room was getting a hot streak ( 3 games in a row). I played for two hours before winning a game and still only have 4/18. Not my day for First Class Solitaire, but I have a week to do it. 🙁
dottiedeedee says
In regards to not having to win the game in solitaire — has anyone EVER completed even one foundation stack without winning the game?
I sure haven’t! lol

I didn’t realize quite how far behind I had gotten in ME until I saw this coming up as a challenge. I was still back in Britain. I’ve been playing a bunch and I’m now halfway through New York and almost rank 62. This week’s badge took me 6 wins. I didn’t pick specifically easy ones, but just kept working forward, so I had a lot of losses mixed in with those wins, but it didn’t take too long.
FCS took me 5 wins, which was perfect, because I paired it with an M&M to win 5 games. Finished both at the same time.

Can someone refresh my memory about the ‘quick matches’. I even searched BH but saw different answers; ie. just making two quick matches in a row and also saw a comment that they have to be the same tiles each match, as in Mahjong Safari.
Thanks.
Storm says
I’m only half way through China in Mahjong Escape, but are there only 2 gold tiles per game ? I’m doubling the Easter Limited Edition Badge with the weekly from June which requires 50 gold tiles. A little behind I know!

Cindy #13 – From Sunday Night Strategies……..
A quick find is when you match a pair of tiles and then quickly match another pair of tiles.
It’s on the order of making a X5 or X10 combo in Mahjong Safari, only you get credit for every single quick find in Mahjong Escape.
Edited to add – A X5 or X10 combo in Safari is different than an animal combo, that’s what you are thinking of.

Thanks, Moms, I suspected that’s what it was but wanted to be certain. As suggested I’m doing #1 Early India as you can get nearly all the tiles as ‘quick finds’.
While i’m here I might add that doing the First Class Solitaire I’m reminded just how much I dislike the game, lol.
MomsBassetHound says
Vivienne #15 – It can only be 1 of 2 things…. You didn’t activate the badge or you aren’t making the matches quickly enough.
Good Luck!

Ban says
Got the badges already.
FCS took close to two hours, the last two wins i needed was 30 or so minutes of that.
Vivienne says
MomsVassetHound. Thank you Moms for responding as swiftly as you did.
It is a little awkward to admit, but apparently I had to refresh the game before I earned
any points. I now have the badge.
Next to Lura, you’re the tops! Thanks again.
MomsBassetHound says
Vivienne #19 – Congrats!! I’m glad it was that easy to fix.

jhazeleyes says
Got my badges, ME was easy, however, FCS was a bit of a problem, I would get to a few cards and no place to put them but I eventually got it. GL everyone. Judy 🙂
Sara says
I spent an hour playing First Class Solitaire and it showed on my badge challenge that I had cleared 12 of 18 foundations. I let the computer, and when I returned it showed that I had cleared 0 of 18 foundations. Obviously I had activated it or it would not have kept track. Is there anything that I can do to reinstate my 12 foundations? If not, I will just not have that badge completed. I don’t have the time to redo what I have already done.
Cyrabi says
The Pogo Games App challenge counts towards earning the Hammer Time Super Badge.
Bernadette says
Just a note to say thank you to all who post here with suggestions, ideas and how to win these badges. I am so grateful! Wonderful group of people here!
jenny says
I’ve noticed that the super badges no longer include a free background with the same design. I was looking forward to the background. I always change my computer screen to the most recent background I’ve won, since there are so many. It has also been 6 months since I have won one in a jackpot spin. Is this because of the new Jackpot style? Has anyone won one recently?

So sorry, Sara #22. I hear these stories every week and it’s terrifying! Some badges are very hard to get and take a lot of time. You can probably go to pogo help and they have a chat where they would probably help with that. Start with the pogo help tab at the top of this page. Good Luck! Colleen

I have been making matches quite quickly on ME and not getting credit. Very frustrating.
Game says
Well Solitare went ok.
Got this weeks weekly.
On to Mahjong and beyond. I’m a bit behind on badges, 2015 weeklies most of all.
Oops. Real life got me. *silly grin*
Joyce says
Not getting credit for the Super Badge, shows 1 of 5. This morning I did 4 premium and did not get credit. Anybody know anything about this?
Joyce
Zoe says
I guess I am not the only one who isn’t getting credits. Been playing First Class and still showing 0…..grrrrrrrr…turns me into a she-bear…lol…
MomsBassetHound says
I decided not to do Early India #1 on my Moms account b/c I still had all of the newest location to do, but I did do Early India #1 for both of my other accounts.
I think the puzzles in the newer locations are easier than they were in the beginning. I managed to get the weekly badge in less than 10 puzzles that I’ve never done before. And I’m also going to finish the premium badge from the new PBA doing the new location, Rome.
Good Luck to anyone that hasn’t finished the weekly badges yet!
