What do you think of these badges and this challenge? Do you have any thoughts on ways to complete them? Let us know in a comment below.
FEM says
this will be fun…just wanted to let everyone know that you have to complete at least 3 challenges on your own to earn the balloonado escape badge….hope you all get there…not looking forward to the time machines so fed up with escape..but hey ho they are free so must not complain…good luck to all…FEM
MountainManIain says
The easiest room for the time macchine badge is Early India…First Time Machine Room and for the golden tiles it’s Early India first room. Hope this helps. These are both relatively short and pretty easy.

Chickenfist13 says
I can’t get past most time machines. I played the first one in China over and over. I’ve got about four of the machines in different levels and places that I try once in a while to move ahead.
Kathy says
Use Japan first time machine easy peasy to do
Johnp52 says
What’s a gift challenge in Mahjong Escape?
I figure in Poppit Party it’s a daily challenge
& in Bingo use a power up or get Bingo’s?
tiggerlicious196 says
Gift challenges are the 6 free badges they’ve given us for the site wide challenge =) Poppit!Party is super pop’s and collecting costume pieces(you can have all costumes and still get this badge), the badges for the site wide and the requirements are listed above =D
Ed says
Thanks Tigger, that was the exact question I was wondering about.
3Maltese4Amanda says
When/ if we get the set of badges completed, does replaying the badges ( or maybe just one) help boost the total towards the site challenge goal?
In the past, repetitive play was the only way to win Site Challenges, but I’m not sure about this one.
Thanks,
Amanda
Pat Housler says
Yes, that’s the only way we’ll win this challenge … I found that #2 is the quickest for me to do over and over except I have to refresh my screen every time I finish it so it will let me do it again.
Tobyes says
So replaying/activating these same badges does help? Just to be clear I have finished all of the gift badges and want to contribute more…want to insure I’m participating properly. Thanks, I realize this may seem redundant.
MomsBassetHound says
Yes, reactivating and redoing these 6 badges will contribute to the site wide challenge goal.
rchvanho2 says
love the pogo is making a requirement of earning at least 3 of the free badges given to get the site wide badge
this effectively stops those lazy peeps who would just activate the site challenge and never play yet still earn the badge.
The badges are easy and I already have 2 done
GL all in earning this site wide goal
MomsBassetHound says
I’m so with you on this!! And especially the people that would post that they were going to activate and not participate, always a few that did that in the forums.
Hopefully we will get enough people who understand what they need to do to activate and participate.
Good Luck Everyone!!
Suz
TWOCUTE says
What is the best way to get the tickets in Poppit Bingo?
MomsBassetHound says
Play in the highest room available to you and always play 4 cards. Use the golden balloons power up and the power up with the ? in the middle. Only call the first 3 bingos, after that just wait and use the cactus cannon. It took me 3 games.
Good Luck!
Suz
mrsbabe511 says
I thought this one would be fun, but I ended up disgusted. I played several games, and couldn’t even get bingos using powerups, and the cactus cannon. I earned only 5 tickets. The last game I played, I finally won 1 bingo and then the game froze, so I couldn’t collect my winnings. I couldn’t believe it. I have played before and always got a couple wins per game. I wasted a lot of powerups and cactus cash for nothing.
Bernadette says
I am retired as of Friday! Lots of Pogo time now. What are the easy badges, I will do those. Thank you!
MomsBassetHound says
It can only be the badges that Pogo gave us this morning, the 6 that have a trophy on them and the numbers 1 thru 6.
Suz
Bernadette says
So in your opinion, which three of the six are the “easiest” to get?
MomsBassetHound says
I’ll give you 1 from each game
Poppit Bingo – Trophy #1 – Daub 810 numbers correctly
Poppit Party – Trophy #4 – Make 100 Super Pops
Mahjong Escape – Trophy #6 – Collect 48 gold bars
Poppit Bingo is going to be crowded, so unless you are in a high room you may have a problem with the tickets required for the other PB Badge.
Poppit Party badges were a toss up, but you can set up super pops, you can’t predict the number of chests you will get.
Mahjong Escape was an easy pick. I’ll take redoing Early India #1 24 times over doing the 18 timed puzzles any day of the week.
But that is just my opinion. You may like the other challenges better.
Good Luck!
Suz
tiggerlicious196 says
I’m sure that’ll vary person by person, but for *me* I enjoy Poppit!Bingo, so those 2 would be easy, I don’t like Mahjong Escape, but there are people who do and who only use certain locations, etc. and same goes for Poppit!Party, I think the super pop’s will be easy though, not sure on the items, though that too should be easy =)
lizzbrad says
MomsBassetHound, Thanks for your thoughts on the 3 easy. I will do those first. I will never do the time machine…..I have tried every way and just can not do that one. Thank God we got to have a few different choices.
I also agree with giving people the badges to do as well as signing up for the badge…..I think we all know people that just expect the handouts.
Good luck everyone. We can do this.
WilliamPorygon says
1) I wonder if re-doing the same challenge repeatedly counts towards the progress or not?
2) I like that they’ve included a requirement that players have to complete at least three of the challenges to get the reward badge and tokens, no getting it by activating at the last minute and not contributing this time. I wonder how others feel about it though.
tiggerlicious196 says
You only need to complete 3/6 to get the site wide challenge badge(it’s also noted in badge central within the text for site wide challenge info)- Also, only the badges we were given count toward the site wide challenge, none of our own mix and match/album badges will count =(
Cathy Glasberg says
please explain gift challenge. do i just have to play the game.
tiggerlicious196 says
You need to active the badges and only have to earn 3 of them to get the site wide challenge badge, you can however finish all 3 if you like- Just play the games and follow the requirements of each free mix and match badge given =)
Ed says
Once you earn at least 3, do you have to keep reactivating a badge to continue to contribute to the cause? Seems a bit queer to me to have to keep doing that.
MomsBassetHound says
Yes!
Suz
Karen says
Nice gifts again from Pogo!! I don’t like any of these newer games and only do them for badges…..but they are free! π I do like that Pogo is forcing everyone to participate if they want the site-wide challenge badge.
Sandy (ikeandsan114) says
Question…..It’s been asked above but not answered. Does anyone know whether redoing these badges will count toward the site challenge? Have fun everyone and Happy Birthday Pogo.
FEM says
i would think it counts as when u do the site wide other challenges you can play and play…if we just do the 6 badges then we wouldn’t make the goal…so I guess yes it all counts if we replay or even just play the bingo games and the mah-jong escape I wouldn’t think you have to reactivate the badges again…but I’m sure you can…hope I’m right in telling you this,…if not I’m sure I will be put right…FEM
MomsBassetHound says
No, it doesn’t.
The only thing that count are the free badges we got this morning. Period!
Suz
Brenda M. says
She’s talking about redoing the gift challenges.
MomsBassetHound says
I answered RchVanho. I have no idea about redoing the challenges. Hopefully Pogo will advise when their offices open.
Suz
FEM says
ok suz
PrairiesDweller says
Okay I found this information on Pogo News for the Site Wide Challenge:
“We gifted every Club Pogo Members six free Challenges for Poppit! Party, Poppit! Bingo, Mahjong Escape. The Site-Wide Challenge goal is for all members to complete any of those Challenges a combined 500,000 times. You can play any or all of them, and replay as often as you want to contribute to the goal.”
Brenda M. says
Thank you! π But once is enough for me for some of these challenges. π
WilliamPorygon says
Great! Badge #2 for Poppit Bingo is by far the easiest, it only takes 1-2 games usually to complete.
sugarbarre1 says
I finished poppit party ..which I hate and don’t know how to play
just played spike level? one
and it was super easy
but
what is gold tiles in me
I hate that game too.
ugh
tiggerlicious196 says
Gold tiles are the ones that say 2x on them, there are 2 per game
sugarbarre1 says
ty I logged in to play and went oh..heck
I know what gold tiles are.
..
Brenda M. says
Play Early India #1, it’s easy and fast. π
livemai1966 says
How do you get 81 tickets in 2 games?
Chickenfist13 says
There are answers above in the easiest way to do this.
Millie says
Thank you for all the answers to replaying badges for this Site-wide, which I have done with all site-wide challenges, but since this is the first one with the gifted badges, it is good ya’ll are answering this one.
It is wonderful that winning 3 of the gifted badges is a must! Also thanks for everyone who answered about the wardrobe pieces counting, even duplicates, for the badge too. y– Don’t know how I will be able to wait till 2018 to finish all of my Poppit Party badges heheee
Good Luck in your games.
God Bless and keep all in the path of the hurricane Harvey safe.
Kathy says
i looked over the challenge for the site wide challenge and Popitt bingo looks like the easy ones to complete.. we need 3 to get the site wide challenge.. we can do this. i like the free badges.
kodi06 says
I tried to get the “free” episode of Clue with the Happy 18 code and instead of getting a free episode they say there aren’t enough items in the cart. Thanks POGO for the not free episode
MomsBassetHound says
The last 4 episodes are excluded, as Lura posted in the article above.
I was able to get free episodes on all my accounts, actually gifted all of them to Holly’s account. I had no problem!!
Suz
brattyangel427b says
Still no new costumes in poppit party so the badge gifted to me for the costume pieces cant be done. Any ideas when they will have some new costumes?
MomsBassetHound says
As of last Thursday they were still being designed, so not until 2018 probably.
According to posts in the forums the duplicate costume pieces are counting for this badge, so you can complete it.
Good Luck!
Suz
brattyangel427b says
ok ty I will try it then
Hels says
Yes, I just tried – and all 6 pieces counted towards badge progress, even though they don’t count towards anything else (as all of my costumes are completed and coins are maxed).
tiggerlicious196 says
You can complete it as the items from the chests are counting =)
Jan says
what time machine is favored by bhers?
MomsBassetHound says
The 1st one in Early India, level 5. It only has 146 tiles.
Good Luck!!
Suz
Jan says
thanks
MomsBassetHound says
You’re very welcome!
Suz
Justyn says
If everyone just did 3 of the gift badges it will need 166,666.6666666 players to reach 500,000 a bit ominous dont you think.
MomsBassetHound says
But less people doing all 6, and then redoing them for 5 days will allow us to make the goal!!
Suz
mspatmac says
I think we need to reactivate each time we redo a badge for credit toward sitewide. I will be spending the week in Poppit Bingo once I complete all six.
MomsBassetHound says
Yes, just like any badge that we redo.
Suz
WCurry5990 says
Ya know, I was wondering approximately how many members does Club Pogo have. Personally I would think there’s more than “166,667”. Anyone have an idea?
PrairiesDweller says
The last site wide challenge had about 210,000 Club accounts participating.
That total does not include members who did not join for whatever reason –
were not interested, were away from Pogo does days, members who have stopped
using the site but there membership has not expired yet.
I would guess there are 220,000 to 240,000 members.
Millie says
Now, 6:23pm ET, the Site-Wide Challenge says,
4 days 8 hours left!
8,091 of 500,000
Challenges Completed
Keep re-activating these gift badges to re-do them y–
Go Go and Good Luck al
moosette776 says
I love that Pogo is doing this! I have no problem doing these challenges and at least you can jump around the games instead of all 6 of the same. Poppit Party I have everything and just waiting for the new costumes to arrive. Can’t collect any more wardrobes and pretty sure the duplicated ones from the chests won’t count. Anyone know for sure? Good luck and don’t forget to activate the site-wide challenge first!
MomsBassetHound says
According to posts in the forums the duplicate costume pieces are counting for this badge, so you can complete it.
moosette776 says
Thanks Moms. Didn’t want to activate if didn’t count. I’ll try after I finish superpops
MomsBassetHound says
You’re very welcome!
Suz
mspatmac says
Yes they are counting for me.
Tiptoe7 says
The duplicate items definitely count! I’m maxed out on everything as well, but the 100 costume pieces was the first badge I finished.
Game says
Well so far so good. Poppit Party’s being nice enough. I think I’ve unlocked 4 costumes since starting my badge. LOL
TheRedOne says
I’m going to enjoy this one, as I rather like all 3 games, ME especially.
I think it’s wonderful that Pogo has been giving us so many free badges, and tying them to some fun and creative challenges. The M&M sales might not be as epic as they used to be, but this is a pretty nice alternative. I have 2 albums filled with gifts from Pogo.
Very clever of them to make winning the challenge contingent on actually participating.
beyechonjr says
i know its just the first day but looking at how many have activated there is just over 5,000,,i know people have lives and many work..i have two completed and two activated and partway ..i have to wait for me as i already had a badge activated in it and 2/3 thru so need to finish it first but should be finished with it in a couple hours.. doing laundry also..hopefully no one is working on badges and forgetting to activate the sitewide…nice that this time e/1 will actually have to do something
virginia says
The count doesn’t seem to be adding up. I’m thinking people activated it like always but didn’t understand they HAVE to play. Almost 6000 activated but less than 5000 completed. I’ve completed several as I’m sure many have
aslls11 says
I activated last night (I’m in Alaska time zone), however when I tried to play it wouldn’t let me into any of the games. I’m just getting ready to try again.
LibraryLady75 says
Yup, I activated before I went to work this morning, and am working on completing some now…that might be the same for a lot of folks.
Catherine L says
A very good luck to all doing the Site Wide Challenge.
I have the two ME badges done and working on Poppit Party for the 100 wardrobe items. I started the day with the Slingo Blast badge to get that out of the way.
Progress seems to be slow but hopefully it will pick up.
nessa says
When I first read that it was going to be a “with balloons” SWC I thought great! there are 4 Poppit games and why not Bloons2 too?
And here we are, down to only 2 “ballon-games” and …. Mahjong Escape of course! How could I be so blind and dumb!
I forsee lots of complaints and a lot of work for all the Help reps. after the special badge has been awarded.
“I activated but didn’t receive the special badge and tokens” complaints ffrom players who didn’t know that for this challenge they really had to contribute with at least 3 badges done.
MomsBassetHound says
And that’s b/c half of Pogo doesn’t read.
Suz
mspatmac says
Agree! I’m afraid most people think that they just have to play the six games to win the sitewide so will stop playing. Please keep reactivating your favorite of the six to work toward the sitewide special badge. I can only imagine the complaints π
Jan says
I don’t have much use for any of those games so I won’t participate this time.I wish Pogo would stop pushing Escape and Sol Gardens all the time!
dogset says
I am with you Jan not even going to activate the thing.
MoonDazed says
Great that the badges are free, but if they are going to keep jamming mahjong escape at us, they could at least give us the the new ranks so that we are not just repeating levels over and over. That’s what bugs me….. same thing with solitaire gardens.
I just don’t understand why they say there are 200 ranks, yet will not put out the new ones and let us go to town on them .. LOL
Good luck everyone π
MomsBassetHound says
They release a new city with 60 new puzzles on the 1st of every month, and the ranks go up to 200. There are plenty of new ME puzzles.
Solitaire Gardens gets a new garden on the 15th of every month, with 60 new levels.
Suz
Brenda M. says
Well, I have finished 4 of the challenge badges, and thank goodness the ME ones are done, I have done 1 Bingo and 1 Party which I will play and play and play and activate those badges tons of times. I can tolerate those, because they are fun. π
We can do this, let’s keep on trying and having fun, everyone!!! π
mbchiquet says
I couldn’t be more excited about this SWC! These are actually my 3 favorite games! I also, like everyone else, love that you must participate to receive the badge. I hope that is a trend that pogo keeps up in the future. Good luck to everyone participating!
virginia says
I’m going to play as much as I can but the rain has moved into Louisiana and I may have to move to higher ground.
dogset says
Pleas stay safe.
debbie14094 says
Thanks for all the info on the Challenge. Looks like I will be reactivating a lot to get this done.
Good luck everyone
goodenoughforyou says
Well it seems as if this challenge will really sort out the ones that just activate then sit back and get their badge for doing nothing, from the ones that actually play to gain the side wide challenge it is 10.30pm uk time and the total number of participants is only 6,689! with just over 4 days to go. Will be watching with interest
Deb Muldoon says
Finished all 6 badges. Wasn’t as bad as I thouht
Sonja says
I finished all 6, but honestly, I can’t really see replaying, especially ME. I detest that game. But I did learn to enjoy PP. I don’t get the costume thing completely, but it’s kind of fun with that twist. So may replay that to unlock more costumes (think I have 7 more to unlock). Sure don’t get the cleaning deal.
Anyway, earned 5 badges in addition to the 6 gifted for the marathon, just ranking up. And the Clue freebie. That’s a personal record! π
Kirsten says
So far so good with this SWC. Working on getting all badges done before concentrating on the challenge. Have completed ME and off to PP Like others have commented glad to see you actually have to play instead of just activating. Love the fact that Pogo gave us badges to work towards our goal. Thank you. Sure hope we nail this — just have to have this adorable badge! Last check 122,959 participants with 2%.
Gl to all!
afriend says
Well the activation count is going up! None of these
are fav’s so I’ll just keep re-activating the badges.
GLA
WCurry5990 says
While I was playing Poppit! Party_Site-wide #5, I also had activated and was playing Pogo Bowl_Knockdown “10” Silver Pins. I would keep playing Poppit! Party until I heard the Pogo Bowl bell letting me know a gold or silver pin was available. I would then go and knock down the bowling pin and then return to Poppit! Party. I completed both badges within ‘1″ minutes of each other. I’ve now completed “5 of 6” Site-wide challenges as well as Slingp Blast. Good Luck eveyone!
RyzandShyn says
I’ve read through the entire thread. Good job so far BHers, and thanks for the hints/tips!
I think we’ll see progress tomorrow because, as a working person, I think each but the Poppit Bingo “tickets” badge will take two days of the play time available.
I activated 3 this morning, 1 in each game, finished the “tickets badge quickly in two games, but will need today and tomorrow for the other 2 I activated.
Question: How quickly is the Poppit Bingo for 810 numbers going for anyone?
If it’s too slow, I’ll just keep re-doing the “tickets” badge instead.
MomsBassetHound says
It took about 10 games, so longer than the tickets badge.
Suz
RyzandShyn says
Thanks, Suz. It sounded daunting, but 10 games isn’t too bad.
Still, for the purposes of adding to the challenge, re-doing the other makes more sense.
I often guess wrong, badges that look daunting go quickly, and badges I think will be fast are slow.
Just like I think I can clean up/out a closet quickly until I look up and see it’s two hours later and stuff is everywhere…lol.
skinnyme747 says
Can you work on more than one of these badges at a time? Just wondering…..
MomsBassetHound says
Yes, as long as it’s only 1 per game. I have 3 activated, 1 in each of the 3 games.
Suz
Evil Queen says
I actually don’t mind having to do at least 3 of the badges to earn the site wide challenge one. I like that we have some badges to work on with it. Makes it much more fun to do IMO. The only thing I wish was that it wasn’t with the 2 Poppit games since they work so slow for me no matter what browser I am using at this point.
Susan says
Not sure if here is where to ask this but I hope someone can help me! I’ve been playing the time machine badge for ME and the tiles won’t match right away…. Like a delayed reaction, somehow!! The bar showing how much time is left works perfectly, thereby not allowing me to get that level towards the badge because it times out! It’s hard enough for me to get a time machine level anyway, but having the game “malfunction” like this is extra annoying! Is there something I can do?
LibraryLady75 says
I’m having trouble with every game I’m playing…I’m just giving up until the morning. Maybe too many people are playing tonight.
Susan says
I followed your lead, Library, and this morning it did the same thing! Tried switching from Firefox to Chrome…., now the game is working perfectly!! Also someone suggested the first time machine (level 5) in Japan is best for this challenge. I’m finding that to be true for me!! = )
Bonstance41 says
When my game plays like that I clear my cache and quit out of my browser. When I come back in, it is usually ok. (I have a Mac – don’t know if that makes a difference.)
Snickers Mom says
GL to ALL on completing the 6 free badges. and completing the SWC as well. Think the ME will take the longest PP be the easiest and PB for me be about 3 days….. Thanks for the 6 free badges also… Happy Anniversary POGO π
mspatmac says
The SWC bonus badge require us to: “Win 500,000 Poppit! Party, Poppit! Bingo and Mahjong Escape Gift Challenges between August 28th and September 1st with your fellow Club Pogo members to earn the Balloonado Escape Badge plus 50,000 tokens!”
I am replaying Poppit Bingo challenge #2 as it takes me only 2 games at most to earn it. Figured I can complete more gift challenges that way. Hope everyone is having fun π
Please don’t forget to keep my fellow Texans to the south in your thoughts and prayers. I feel guilty having a beautiful sunny day in the Dallas area while such a tragedy is happening.
snstlvr48 says
Well I completed all 6 badges, they were not bad at all. i just stuck with it and it all came together. Good luck everyone.
signslady says

jerseygirl71174 says
Earning the tickets in Poppit Bingo is tedious. I’ve been using the power up that turns the numbers gold, not calling Bingo and then spending the cash on the cactus power up. I’m only earning 0-4 tickets per game. I came close to running out of the cash that I spent hours to earn. I’m beginning to really detest the game. I’ve also been playing in rooms that have a relatively high number of players, so I’m thinking that might be my problem.
Earned the two badges in Poppit Party early in the day. That went by okay.
Still have to complete the Surprise Challenge badge and the two badges in Mahjong Escape.
WeenieKay1207 says
jersey, do what you’re doing but call the bingos. Also, if you have the tickets, play the highest level and the most cards that you can. It pays off better. Good luck.
Jersey says
I really wish they had made the Site-Wide “complete ANY badges” in the site-wide games. Because of all the m&m they have been releasing, I am SO far behind, and I hate re-doing badges, when I have other ones yet undone.
Besides the fact, since they’ve never had a site-wide this specific before (and we KNOW how so many people are about reading directions), I think it may be a close-one… How many non-BH’ers are going to think: ok, done my 3, or completed all 6, and go on to other things?
And yeah, I too think they could have & should have picked ANY other Balloon-Game instead of having ME yet again, and I like that game, but doesn’t fit with the badge & they KNOW so many are sick of it.
Kathy says
i am on the second badge for 3 for the SWC. i noticed in Poppitt Party i been getting a blank blank screen.. i hope Pogo enginners fix this.. i kicks out and i have to restart the game again.. its very frustrating. i wonder if others having the same problem…
Brenda M. says
No, I just played Poppit Party, it played smoother for me. I use Chrome in full screen. Good luck, hope you get to play soon.
LindaChicken says
On Mahjong Escape if you go to Egypt do the first puzzle ( 1 ) it’s super fast you can get tons of four of a kind, don’t have to use any power ups to finish and it’s easy, fast can match fast and see! Goodluck!
Phoenix217 says
Thank-you LindaChicken – maybe I WILL try to play MJ Escape after all for one of the Challenge badges: Egypt here I come!
Game says
Well I’m 2/6. One Party one Bingo.
Trying to get the Time Machine one for Escape done.
Yes, I know the gold tile one’s easier, lol.
I figure I can finally muddle through and get the 2016 weekly complete that needs 20. Meh. Boy its a long haul.
Weary3 says
Badge clarification needed. If we have undone MM badges in the games for the site wide challenge other than the 6 badges that were gifted to us, will those count towards progress also?
Applause to the genius who figured out reactivating the 6 gifted badges will count towards progress. . . would never have thought of that.
MomsBassetHound says
Sorry, but it’s only those 6 badges that will count.
Suz
Hapi says
ME is not crediting if you win. Is there a glitch? Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? TY

Just keep clicking on the continue button and it will register your progress.

TY Suz, I hope it works. Hapi
jwalters1395 says
I keep getting ‘pogo server busy’ and ME keeps freezing. I have cleared cache, etc. I use Safari. Anyone else having issues?

MomsBassetHound says
Nothing you can do until Pogo fixes it. The site is coming and going for me.
Suz
lizzbrad says
we all are having issues. I hope pogo extends the time we have to do the all site challenge……..but guess that would be wishful thinking…..hahah
Tiptoe7 says
Seems like this happens just about every time there’s a site-wide challenge. Or it might just seem that way! LOL
jwalters1395 says
Thank you for responding, Suz and Lizzbrad. It IS frustrating when trying to work on the SWC, but at least I’m not alone!
jwalters1395
Game says
Boy Escape is frustrating.
I gave in and bought shuffles. I get so close to the end, having to restart.
*sticks out tongue*
PrairiesDweller says
Okay Pogo Insider has new information:
“Please note: For the Site-Wide Challenge, there is a lot of flexibility in how you contribute to the goal and qualify for the reward. For example, you can play the same gifted Badge three times and still qualify for the Site-Wide Challenge rewards. You can play any combination of the gifted Site-Wide Celebration Badges. Play just one three times, play them all, or play your favorite three β itβs entirely up to you. If youβve got the time and motivation, keep playing and replaying them to help reach the goal sooner!”
So you can play 1 of the 6 badges 3 times and get the completion badge.
Or play only 1 of the 3 games 3 badges worth.
MomsBassetHound says
I saw that comment about playing the same badge 3 times, but I feel safer having 3 different badges showing….just in case I have to prove I did at least 3 badges…lol
Suz
Sal says
When you replay a badge it says X2 or X3 on the badge so that would be proof.
MomsBassetHound says
But it doesn’t have a date when you got that X2 or X3, nothing to prove it was before 9/1/17.

Kathy says
i finished the 3 badges for SWC…. i did one Popitt Party and 2 for Poppitt Bingo… they are the easiest for me and get them done before the Wednesday challenges tomorrow.. gl everyone and prayers for Houston . I read over 49 inches of rain down there on the gulf coast
dice-man-dan says
How do I know when I have completed the three challenges required in relation to this site-wide challenge? I believe I have completed three of those but am not absolutely sure as to whether I have indeed done so.
tiggerlicious196 says
If you’ve earned 3 of the trophy badges given to you yesterday morning(Poppit Party/Bingo and Mahjong Escape), then you’re good to go and will get the site wide challenge badge/tokens =) As for knowing that you earned them, check your badges(by clicking Badges on the homepage under Quick Links)
RyzandShyn says
I see Pogo Llama posted that the game loading issues have been resolved.
But with Poppit Party and Poppit Bingo I am having major problems with loading and then staying connected once I get it to load.
So frustrating, especially since I’m just trying to get the badges done and contribute.
I might scream soon or just walk away from the computer π
skylabastro, Millie says
Hi RyandShyn,
Your trouble could be because you need to clean out your browser cache. Usually you place your cursor inside the page of the browser site, then click Ctrl +
Shift + Del Keys together.
With that done, sign out of your browser, close it completely
Reopen your browser again, and signin to your Pogo site
When I do this, my game will play for more than 4 hours.
Hope this helps, Good Luck in your games.
Millie
MomsBassetHound says
What browser are you using? That is not how you do it for Internet Explorer.
Suz
RyzandShyn says
Thanks, Millie. That’s an unusual way you clean, never heard of doing it that way before.
Yes, though, I cleared, cleaned, shutdown, rebooted, still had problems so then cleared, cleaned, shutdown, re-set the modem and wifi, started it all back up and still had problems.
I walked away and went out to dinner with friends π
Magically, 4 hours later, it’s working fine again……proving once again that Pogo and it’s finicky servers can drive a person mad.
Millie, skylabastro says
It usually is in your browser right hand corner telling how to clean your cache. If not you can go to Google and type in your browser name and Clean Cache. Hope this helps everyone.
Karen says
As I have to often times try 3 browsers to get Pogo games to load recently I continue to use ccleaner, a free cleaner that cleans all browsers in on click. I have been using it for years…just a FYI for our members. π
jhazeleyes says
Hi All, I just finished my 3 required gifted badges, now I am going to work on the 3. π
Hels says
I did four different badges just to be safe – both Poppit Party and both Poppit Bingo. Since 81 ticket one usually takes me 2-3 games to complete, I did it 8 times for good measure. I will work on Mahjong Escape badge over the next couple days, too.
I see that now we have over 160,000 people who activated the badge – and if each of them does the required 3 badges and then some do more than that – we should meet the goal. I feel comfortable enough with the progress and my contribution to it that I can actually spend the rest of the week focusing on cleaning the house, since that is why I took this week off! π And boy, does it need to get done.
Good luck to all of us! And best of luck to those affected by flooding in Texas…
Cyrabi says
35% completed with 3 days, 6 hours to go.
Kirsten says
Worked on PP and ME for two days. The only balloons I want to see are the ones in the badge, lol. Rest of challenge will be in PB. Last check 161,066 participants @ 36%.. Been having too much fun have to rest up to continue on through the end.
Gl All!
Game says
Well, I’ve got my 18 time machines. Oh lord what a battle.
Trying to hold through and get 2 more for the weekly I’m working on.
If anything, leaving most of my areas set to go on that level and building them up for awhile helped a little.
Susan says
I’m probably too late to help, but I used the first time machine in Japan, level 5, and it was lots easier!
Game says
I’ll keep that in mind for my next time machine badge, thanks.
Weary3 says
Does anyone know how they are figuring out the math percentage for completion? Is it based on total number of badges sent out (opened or not) or based on the number of badges actually opened and/or activated?
Depending on how the math is computed, there could be a significant difference in percentage completed. I see the count is up to 35% so there is hope, regardless.
MomsBassetHound says
It’s badges that have been completed.
Suz
Weary3 says
On the actual badge page I see the denominator is 500,000. Not sure if it is an arbitrary number (based on the number badges supplied to club members) but was curious if that number of 500, 000 is 1/5 of the badges sent, 3/4 of the badges sent, etc.
Just a curious thought after a long day π
WCurry5990 says
The “500,000” represents the Site Wide challenge “badge” goal we members must complete in order to earn the Balloonado Escape special edition badge plus “50,000” tokens. When Pogo divides the current number of completed Site Wide badges by the “500,000” goal and multiply it by “100”, that’s how the “current” completion percentage is calculated.
Phoenix217 says
Wonderful surprise and generous gifts! Thank-you POGO. If I might make an observation…there was a recent gifted badge, or was it two – of Mahjong Escape. I’ve been playing so much of this game I can barely remember my name. When I saw the two badges for this game and that they are not easy ones…well, my heart sunk. I am MJ Escaped out for now. I don’t know how others feels but I would have enjoyed challenges from a game we haven’t played in a while.
But play away and have fun I will – just on other games. (;-D
WeenieKay1207 says
I completed the 6 badges, then went back in and played one game of each of the challenge games. Am I covered for the badge? Just making sure. lol
MomsBassetHound says
Yes, but just playing the games adds nothing to the challenge. If you still want to contribute you need to reactivate 1 of the badges and complete it again.
Suz
WeenieKay1207 says
TY….I’ll have to remember that if they do the next site wide challenge like this again.
Jon C says
Over 60% completed
nessa says
I think they considered the number of participants from previous Site Wide challenges, then x3 because of the 3 required challenges and then they adjusted (lower) the amount a bit to compensate for those who activate but don’t play and rounded the number.
Only the ones who designed the challenge know, you should ask llama.
Not that she knows but she can ask.
RyzandShyn says
I wonder how many times Early India #1 has been played since Mahjong Escape debuted? π
Bless the game developer that stuck that level in there, I’m so glad it’s there because I’ve used it lots, but if I never play it again it’ll be too soon!
tiggerlicious196 says
I was playing China level 2 until early this morning when someone told me about that level and I will always use it from now on- Soooo easy and quick, I am so thankful I know about that level!I thought the other was quick, but Early India is a better layout =) I’m so over that stinkin’ game!(and I’ve said in the discord chat if I ever come to like Mahjong Escape, to kick me in the rear end because I can’t stand it, haha!I got to liking Solitaire Gardens, so never know with me, lol)
jigsawing says
I have been doing the challenges on my sadly neglected 2nd account, and surprisingly it’s turned out to be fun to go way back to the very beginning of the two :Poppit games. Ahhh, memories. lol Hope we make this.
Cyrabi says
72% completed with 52 hours to go.
Game says
Well, I’m 4/6. I may actually finish the last 2 by deadline. LOL
My super pops are halfway.
And I’m totally surprised to say this after the time machine badge, but I may go psych myself up for gold tiles. LOL.
Susan says
I finished all 6 and surprised myself by doing the Poppit Party super pop badge over again, to help “the cause”!! I got smart this time around. If I get one or 2 super pops (sometimes more!) I start a new game, rather than go through all the rigamarole!! Works for me!! = )
Kirsten says
91% can safely say we will meet our goal! Hope ev1 has as much fun as I did. Congrats to all!
jhazeleyes says
I am on the 6th badge which is great for me because I work 10 hours a day, it is a good thing that I get slow and work in a secure/locked room so management can’t just walk in… mum is the word….lol
I still do more than my share of work, sometimes I don’t get any Pogo time because I am too busy.
That my Pogo friends is a shame……lol π
Cyrabi says
Almost done, 98% completed. π
jhazeleyes says
I finished all 6 badges before we reached are goal in the SWC. π
MomsBassetHound says
WTG Everyone!! All done with 1 day 4 hours left on the clock!!
Remember that Pogo Llama said it can take up to 2 weeks to distribute the badge and tokens.
Congrats!!
Suz
virgoanana says
I knew the BH Club could get it done. I was not so shocked that once we hit over the 96% side, I noticed almost 8000 more had activated the challenge. Will be interesting to see how many complaints come in because they didn’t get the completion badge. All I can say, is way to Pogo for making a big change on site-wide challenges!
WilliamPorygon says
We’ve done it, with 1 day and 4 hours to spare π
jigsawing says
And we are going to receive that coveted badge! Yay!
Dianne Pfeifle says
Yippee SWC is complete! Good going and congrats everyone who participated. I can’t imagine all the slackers who never played baraging Pogo about not getting the badge. I was glad to see this feature included in this SWC!
RyzandShyn says
WTG everyone!
Looking forward to seeing what is in store for us, tomorrow, the Anniversary date π
Always on to the next thing in our Pogo!
Kathy says
WTG Everyone! We got er done.
HOCK9952 says
Congratulations! You are the pros. Way to go!
Karen says
The challenge is met! It seemed to me it was a tough goal and it got off to a slow start, but whoa! the players did come through! I sit here wondering just how many times some players did each badge? I personally only got 3 1/2 done. π
Kathy says
I got all six badges done , on the 3rd day. The time machine one was the hardest for me at first. But then I played in Japan the first one and it went pretty fast then. Then I just kept activing the pop one for the costumes. I did that one 4 times and last night did the super pop one a second time. Even though I did the costume one over and over, I still have 4 to unlock lol. But will, be taking a break from that one also for a bit lol.
Catherine L says
Congrats to all who took part in the Site Wide Challenge. I got all badges done that Pogo Spike gave us, plus a few extra badges done in Poppit Bingo when I felt the challenge was going to be won.
CasualObserverrr says
Here is a Q for all you AMazing People…
the site wide challenge was due to last until today, ….. and some time….not sure what time.
but the community finished the challenge.
I was planning on finishing my Third badge Today…. which i am nearly completed with…
because the challenge is over, is the opportunity to earn the bonus badge and 50,000 tokens over as well??
thank you
CasualObserverrr
MomsBassetHound says
I have not seen the official answer to that. The Mods were under the impression that as long as a member finished 3 badges by this evening that they would get the badge. They are telling people to continue on while waiting for official word from the staff.
If you are almost finished I would do it, and fight for my completion badge if necessary!!
Suz
CasualObserverrr says
Thank you so much. I will definitely do that!!! What a great Community here!!
MomsBassetHound says
You’re very welcome!
This could be the reason that Pogo Llama said it could take up to 2 weeks to get the completion badge.
To answer your other question, it ended at exactly 8pm pacific / 11pm eastern last night.
Suz
CasualObserverrr says
The Site Wide challenge was completed by the community at 8pm, or the challenge was set to END no matter what at 8pm?
Im assuming you mean the challenge was completed at 8pm by the community b/c that was still august 31st. My birthday btw.
thats why i had to wait until today to finish my third site wide challenge…
i know I should always finish these challenges EARLY EARLY EARLY……. haha
i have finished the third one now. So I guess Ill just wait and see what happens…
thx for the info
Ciao for now
CasualObserverrr
MomsBassetHound says
Yes, it was completed by 8pm, with 1 day 4 hours left on the clock.
Suz
tiggerlicious196 says
I was under the impression that this is just like past site wides(without the freebie badges/having to do them for it to count) and we had to have had 3/6 if we chose to or all 6 done by the time it hit 100% since that’s how it’s always been- I wonder if they’re changing that this time around or not too, which honestly in my opinion don’t understand why it’d change to having to have them done by the date deadline, but that is Pogo for you and I can see both sides/I can also agree on 1 hand that having until date deadline is nice, but on other it should still be like previous site wides with us having to be done when it hits 100% =)
MomsBassetHound says
It’s not going to affect me one way or the other since I had all 6 done on my account, and 3 done on all my other accounts. But as long as someone activated the site wide and did 3 badges by the original end date of 9/1 I think they earned it. If they were working on their last badge last night we all got credit for their first 2 badges π
And that’s the argument I would use if I had to fight for my badge!
Suz
Anne says
Did you get your tokens and badge yet? I did 3/6 and I still have not seen badge or tokens. I was done before Friday. I was just curious to. I have not see anyone wit it as of yet. thank you. π
MomsBassetHound says
Pogo Llama stated that it could take 2 weeks to verify the information and award the badge & tokens. So I’m not even looking for it until next week.
Suz
Anne says
Thank you Suz for your quick response. π
Brenda M. says
My badge for the Site Wide was awarded last night!! Pogo did great work to deliver it earlier than I expected. π
Catherine L says
My husband and I are after getting the Site Wide Challenge badge. For those that didn’t get it yet and had completed at least 3/6 towards it, hang on in there because it’s on it’s way. π
Kirsten says
Nice surprise to see the SWC badge this AM after signing in. Quicker than expected. Thanks Pogo!
Have a great day all!
