  1. Some of these badges are fine but some are going to be like a nightmare. This time I am not that bothered about getting them done within a week. I will do what I can.

    • I agree – 1 week for all of them is not easy – I wont even bother don’t care for half the games anyhow

      • I’m still behind in several of the previous free badges, and some I don’t even think I can complete! I’m just doing what I can and not worrying about the rest!

    • hard Quinn’s Aquarium – July Race Lap 7 Badge
      Match 36 pairs of Shell Tiles in 2 weeks!

      • Quinns aquarium is almost impossible. I did all the rest, but this one, you cant match all the
        tiles. I guess I cant complete my album, with 1 less badge. I am on level 55 and cant go any further.

  2. I opened the gift but I get a blank page saying gift information not found. Very annoying!!

    Cher

  3. Bleh to some of the games…I AM tired of the same ol’ games for these things but will get them done as usual

    • The new games are boring and they shove them at us endlessly. We get an ugly trophy badge for are efforts.
      The new and improved Pogo

      • I agree.. no imagination goes into the badges for these marathons at all. the super duper prize one that we get for racing through them in time is nothing much different. surely they could get more imaginative for the final prize one. I don’t find it much of an incentive to put the time into at this time of year. I would rather be outside enjoying some summer.

    • Yes, this happened to everyone I think, but not to worry as the album is there
      in your collection

    • If you don’t show anything in your gift, don’t worry, check out your badges and you should have a new premium album with all the badges in it.

  5. Oh goody, 10 more badges on top of the 50 States badges I now have to do, lol. Seriously, I’m happy to get this new album (thanks, Pogo) but I’m not even going to attempt to get it done by July 11, some of these challenges will be lonnnnng.

    • Go to premium albums and look at the last page. it is there and has all the badges

  8. Happy about the marathon!! these really aren’t that bad of challenges!! easily done with a lot of patience if you get stuck!

  9. Well, I open the book and got gift info not found. Book is empty. Nothing in it lol. So much for progress.

  10. Side note- Yes, it will be blank when you open your gift but it is there

  12. I ALSO opened the gift but I get a blank page saying gift information not found. Now what do I do? Very Disappointing!!!!!

  13. Thanks Pogo for the album Some of these look like a bear to finish but will give it my usual best. Might surprise myself n finish for the 11th.

    GL All! 🙂

  14. The same crap over and over…30 levels of this, 20 levels of that, rinse & repeat a thousand times.

    Suz

    • I got my album no problem, and I thank you Club Pogo. For the Poppit Bingo we get a month to get them done, but for this album we got a week. All we ever do is repeat a lot of levels if we want to get three red stars in Jewel Academy. For Poppit Party went they did it over it is awful slow to play it now. You go in to play a level and it say ballooning and you have to wait over a minute for it to start. There is not as many chest either. I wish they left that game alone. I am almost rank out on it. It was my favorite game. I hope everyone had a good day, and drink lots of water cause it is hot out there.

      • Use the different power up things to help you along, I did and have about half towards the badge without any problems- In fact the balloons pop faster now than they did before and I didn’t have to wait for the stupid ballooning message to go away

      • I found out the same with Poppit Party. I played with 3 different costumes and won a total of 2 chests. All of the other chests were just tokens. In the past, I’ve always gotten at least a couple of costume pieces with each round.

    • I agree! I don’t play on Pogo for repetitive simple and/or boring games. I joined and have purchased a lot of badges which aren’t done to challenge my brain. Besides these ugly badges and the time are just not worth it to me anyway. I’m skipping this time consuming boring challenge.

  15. I will not be doing this marathon. Same old games except for turbo and Jewel Academy. I refuse to play any Quinns game, and I’m so sick of Poppit Bingo! I know most people enjoy free badges, but I don’t want to play the same old games.The marathons are now a chore, and too many too soon. Badgemasters, please utilize a variety of games instead of the same go to games you provide in every marathon! Sorry,needed to vent!

    • I’m not even going to open this gift. I’m not interested in anything that has Quinn’s Aquarium as a challenge.

      The Badge Marathons used to be fun before they added all these games that “offer” the power ups at a cost. I’ve gotten to the point, I’m seriously considering not renewing when my account is due.

    • I did a few of these badges but am not interested in doing most of them. I don’t like the “rinse & repeat” badges. (Thanks Moms for the analogy.)
      I have caught myself up on all my “paid for” badges and don’t care if I don’t finish the free ones. I will not be renewing my membership this August.
      Raspberries to the “new & improved POGO”.

    • I strongly recommend playing Quinn’s Aquarium with the animal tiles! You do not need exact matches for all of them. You do for most but there are some that just need a match with the same type of badge. For example: seasons (like in Mahjong Garden).

  16. ~wow! ss to those who had no album ….got mine and have begun but have not checked my sisters account yet
    hope everyone gets their album soon

  17. I think they are lengthy badges for the time allowed for the marathon. It is nice that if we don’t finish we can do them anytime. I would have liked to have been able to open more than one game at a time. It sure would take make doing them less boring. And all newer games, Pogo doesn’t remember we have other older games.

  18. I passed on the last marathon because of Quinn’s Aquarium (didn’t click on gifts and they went away when the marathon ended), and I will do the same with this one. I don’t like Poppit Party either; and I really don’t care about getting 10 badges that are all the same.

  19. Really, this is getting to be too much…I first joined to play games, chat, get tokens…I have two paid accounts..now so so sorry I renewed on my second account….so sad it used to be so much fun…having said that…doubt that I will be doing this Marathon..heck got the badges can work on them when and if I want..who cares about a extra badge…just my opinion..but for sure am doubting even being a member of Pogo on my main account which is in for renewal in about a month..of course they do not listen … Just love Badge Hungry..get to express our tips, etc…thank you Lura for this site and all you do… so many helpful people to help us out..

  20. I think I figured out the problem with Pogo this morning.

    It’s down to about three 20 something year old guys sitting around in a basement somewhere. One of them has a sister still in high school that comes in sometimes to write a blog.

    These guys sit around all day and play with their computers and drink beer.

    Sometimes they drink too much.

    • LOL. Yes, and one of their aunts gave them a book on computers for Christmas, so they mess around trying to make a game or two.

    • Best comment in a long time and of course my favorite part is the one about de high school sister and her blog 😂🤣
      I can totally pi tire de scène
      Oh boy! Can’t stop laughing! 😆

  21. How do you get the poppit party if you have completed all the wardrobe pieces?

      • Played a game got all the chests. No wardrobe pieces at all. Have you tried it?

        • I’m working in order, so no where near Poppit Party Badge. Even though there won’t be wardrobe pieces you should still see badge progress just for the chests.

          If that is not happening you will have to contact Pogo customer service, sorry!

          Suz

          • I just did 2 more games and got 1 wardrobe piece per game. At that rate it will take 120 or more games to get the badge and no leveling up as there are no new levels. The graphics have changed since the last time I played so what I thought were chests in the first one I played were not. Thanks for the help
            This is one I will not be doing

        • Did you release all the prizes n none were chests perhaps…try the Pirate…lots of chests there.

          • I got three wardrobe pieces and 3 coins in one game so got 6 more for the badge count. I had expected to get credit for just 3 for the actual wardrobe pieces but I’ve gotten the same amount of credit as the number of chests, no matter what was in the chest.

  22. All I wanted to do today was get the Quinn’s badge done, and I just finished it. I found all my badges in My Collection Albums, it’s not easy, but doable. Now I will do the rest, I’m happy about that!!!

    Have fun, everyone!! 🙂

    • WTG…I have chose the other route and will race through the others n hopefully have a few days to plod along in there….Bravo on getting the worst one first.

      • Good luck with, Phlinx II, that one is almost impossible unless you’re farther along. I’ve played for an hour and have 1 1500 point game. 😕

        • I didn’t realize I could move backwards and go back to break stones which are much easier to get. Also, when you get to the second half where you have to drop the chest, make sure you drop lots of big groups which will give you mucho points. I’ve started the second half with 600-800 points only and gotten enough groups to hit over 1500 (even 2000+) and get the required credit.

  24. Well, that was fun – not! Tried doing my first badge in the album. Poppit Bingo. I did all those 40 games with more than 6 bingos and it worked fine but today it wasn’t working right at all. I bought a bunch of new PUs and it showed I had 30. However, the balloon never filled up so I got Zero PUs. Didn’t want to quit the game so pushed on but even when I got a bingo and the Bingo bar was blinking, I clicked on the bar and nothing happened. The numbers were being called, I could mark them off but got no PUs and no credit for bingos.

    • The balloon only fills up when you click on the numbers called when you have them

      • Oh, I was clicking and I had a lot of numbers but the balloon never filled up, never even started to though I had 30+ PUs. Also got some bingos without PUs and the Bingo bar was pulsing but when I clicked on it it didn’t give me a Bingo.

        I’ve been out this afternoon but hoping it’s OK when I get back to the badges. It was fine all week when I was doing the 40 games more than 6 bingos badge.

        • Well, success! Must have been a hiccup this morning because it was fine this afternoon. And not only did I get the new PBA 20 bingo badge, I finished all 5 of the States Poppit Bingo badges and got two collectables as well. It’s been a fruitful couple of hours. 🙂

        • Cindy, just because the Bingo bar pulses, don’t be fooled. You could get a bad call.. It has happened to me.

          • Yeah, that caught me a couple of times but I don’t fall for that anymore, lol. That one game I mentioned above though, the clicks just didn’t do anything. Just a one game glitch I guess.

  25. I did Quinn first to get it out of way, got no credits on items cuz im at 60 but yes hate Quinn,,,pogo take it away. good luck to all those who complete….I will complete cuz IM a addict but dislike redoing same games, and did you really have to put poppit bingo in album….gosh pogo open your eyes to our request,,,,,,,,,,,,anyways thanks for free album.

  26. I almost passed on that marathon we just finished, but pushed ahead to finish it. Now, same old games again. I am so,so sick of Poppit Bingo! I don’t like that game on a good day! So, I did that one. Even using power-ups and the Cactus Cannon it still took me almost two hours for that one badge! I think I will pass on this one and do the badges as I want to do them. There’s no way I can do mine and my husband’s in the allotted time. I know it’s been said but I’m saying it again. These marathons were fun in the beginning but now they are just something I have to do. No fun anymore. Oh, need to add this: this is the first time I will skip a marathon.

  27. The QA is just crap. Lots are stuck not able to move on. I’m lucky
    I’m in random so much easier,. But played a lot and only 20/36 way
    too long of challenge for that awful game. Sad too they included this
    knowing a lot of members are stuck. I’m so not using a pu for any
    of these challenges especially QA. Not fun and so wish they hadn’t
    given us this free pba-marathon it’s just ugly. As always IMO.
    I’d be perfectly happy w/o it.

    • I’m sick of Phlinx2 in every Marathon. I have never played for a monthly badge and hit rank 30 doing the badge this afternoon.

      Suz

  28. I miss the old badges. These are so boring and I don’t really care for the games either. I let my membership expire in March, and if they offer fun things again (like tokens, and cute badges, and variety) I will be back. Till then, I’ll just keep checking and hoping.

    • I am so glad I’m not the only one who feels this way……….the old badges were so much better, graphics were way better. The new badges and games all look alike…….like they’re in some upscale game or something. Loved the old graphics, they had character and they fit the games. Badges were a lot better. Almost like they’re fixing things that weren’t broke until they are broke.

      • Some of the old games are still favorites; Jungle Gin, Tri Peaks and Mahjong Garden and Safari. However, I do think the graphics are pretty great with the HTML games, bright and fresh and colorful. I also think the badge artists are still doing a wonderful job with badges, some are just beautiful, y’all know which ones I mean, I think, lol, and some are actually very clever if you really look at them. Sure, the derivative badges are not much to look at but most of them are for free games, that’s Free with a capital F so that’s OK by me. 🙂

        I do have some problems with some of the HTML games loading on my iPad but not on my desktop and I’m actually looking forward to the conversion of some of these favorite older games. And I absolutely love being able to play in full screen. I’m still picking away at some old Java badges, today I did a Lottso Express one, and looking at that tiny square in the middle of the screen had me bending way forward to be able to see it.

        I’m one of the old guard, both in age and in years on Pogo, and while there are obviously some problems and annoyances, EA/Pogo has to reach for the future or die. I know some folks aren’t renewing their subscriptions but I, for one, would be terribly sad if it closed shop so I’ll just keep on playing and going for those badges because I guess I’m Badge Hungry! 🙂

        • ty cindy
          the graphics are pretty on the new games
          i am in love with world class solitaire.
          …
          and the badges that are ugly are free.
          …
          i recently played old badges
          java and way old
          and the badges are little slide shows..so cute

  29. I am so glad that they released this as a PBA. (same with the Fathers Day Marathon PBA)
    If these 10 badges were stuck in a M&M album, I’d be mad since I have no intention of doing all 10 and I’d hate to mess up completing a M&M album because of it.
    I have no problem not completing a freebie PBA though.
    I have had my own personal Quinn’s boycott going since it’s release, so I won’t play that.
    I only like a few of the other games, so I’ll work those badges in my own sweet time.

    Sad and sorry that so many of us are so disappointed.

  30. Quinns!!!!!!!!! UGH! I need Advil Tylenol Excedrin!!!!!!!!!! preferably a handful of all !

  31. did 1 game and now it says games will not load……try again later! you only get 7 days to get the extra badge so time is precious…..later it says…….how much later???

  32. Some of these badges are long, we do have lives and work for a living, I will do what I can, if I finish then great, if I don’t it is no big deal, we don’t get tokens anymore just some badge, besides I am tired of all these Marathons, they use be fun but now they come way too often.. sorry all, I had to vent also.

  33. Can somebody tell me why out of the clear blue sky I can’t play Poppit Party ? I can see the balloons but “ballooning….. is right in the middle

      • It did it as soon as I opened the game. I sat there 5 minutes and it was still there. Do I just wait until Pogo decides I can play ?

        • ok. finally playing.. I prefer the old unimproved game. Thanks Mom for the info.

  34. I guess it was Spike that sent the Premium badge called Race Badge Marathon,but can’t open it.
    Went to chat and everytime I did,it said.Not in chat.
    Can anyone help

  35. I just finished a chat with customer service and they said to do the following;
    Just follow these steps.

    -Have players click on the *Badges* tab

    -Scroll down to the *Premium Albums* section and click on *Select a Premium badge*

    -Have them *Activate* the Marathon Challenges one by one

    Make sure you click on Premium Badge Album July 2018 Badge Race Marathon. and the 10 Laps are there and you can activate it there. I hope this helps

    • You can only activate these badges 1 at a time. You can never have 2 badges activated in the same PBA at once.

      Suz

  36. I don’t mind Cookie Connect but 30 levels is long so I decided to combine it with a personal challenge that came out on April 19 of last year which also required 30 levels so that way I can finish both requirements at the same time. In hindsight though I am really tired of these games where you have to get so many levels. If I get all the games completed of this marathon in a week so be it. If I don’t, no big deal.

  37. How do you get 1500 in Phlinx II badge, I can’t seem to score that high.

    thank you

    • Scroll about halfway up on this page and read what Suz answered me about this question. Play the first 4 and when you get the night screen, don’t drop the chest until you have enough to make 1500, read her post above. 🙂

  39. what level do you find dirt piles in solitaire gardens? I rarely play this game and have never seen dirt piles. Thank you..

  40. I always liked Poppit Bingo, but it hasn’t been working for me. Rank 114 and playing on 17. Always got over 20 bingos every game. Now I’m lucky if I get 5! So slow and choppy like. Tried different computers and different browsers all the same. Haven’t seen where anyone else is having this problem. Making it really tough to get these bingo badges.

  41. Has it occurred to you, too, that these badges are for monetized games? And that they’re difficult enough you’ll probably need to buy boosts or hints or turns or whatever to complete them in time to win the badge? Kinda sneaky, innit?

    • There should never be any reason to buy power up’s to finish any of these(well unless you don’t want to repeat many times if you’re in part 3 in Quinn’s, that whole level was dreadful, but can be done without power up’s still), but yea I mean of course they are going to try to get you to buy them but it doesn’t mean anyone has to in order to finish =)

  43. Does anyone have trouble with Poppit Bingo, after a bingo is called, the bingo button flashes as if another bingo is there if you click it , you get a bad call?

    I’m not thrilled with this marathon ,I finished a few, but like others if I don’t complete I don’t care. Have such a pain in my neck and shoulders since the last Poppit bingo, can’t really stand that game.

  44. I must be the only one to like Quinns I play it daily about 4 to 5 games. It is good for my mind. I also do Sudoku. I love free so I am very happy I do wish it was changed up a bit using different games but I hope Pogo continues to gift us each month. I don’t know that I will get it done in a week but at least I have badges to do this month. Thank you Pogo for the gift.

  45. Are there any hints for Quinns Aquarium? I don’t buy power ups so it’s driving me nuts. Can you get the shells and hit new game? Thanks!

    Cher

    • just replay it
      you win about every 5th game
      thats all there is to it
      i hated it
      bought power ups
      that was waste of money
      then i began to like it
      …
      just hit replay and it will be fine and you will learn more too
      …

    • same here. It looks like you have to buy power, but if you dont want to, just leave it alone.
      I am having problems with this badge also.

  46. as much of a badgeaholic as i am.. i hate to admit this album is a chore.. first of all i dont care for many of the games.. . also the challenges are pretty long and boring especially since its an album and you can only activate one.. would rather have mix n match where you can work on several so that you dont get bored.. i know that pogo has rules etc.. but frankly im getting tired of all the changes and being told certain things i have to do like the diff email addys…we do pay to play ..but have no say..maybe its a good thing they stopped the mix n magic as now i can work on some of the badges i have already purchased and if i decide not to renew im not out that much…if i would choose to have a dozen accts i dont see why i would be forced to have a dozen email accts…and why now are we going to have to sign in with email instead of user name…if hackers can hack my user name they surely can my email …guess i should not try to reason why…pogo will do what they want regardless of how we feel about it

  47. First and foremost I’d like to give a huge Thank You to Suz for the tips on Poppit Bingo! I finally finished the 40 6-bingo badge! (did it with the Marathon 3-bingo badge) So both are done! No more bingo til at least next week! Phew!

    But I’m enjoying most of the games in this marathon. Quinn’s actually wasn’t as dreadful as I thought. (easier badge at least). Phlinx is the one I’m dreading now LOL.

    • You’re very welcome!

      For Phlinx2 you can play the easiest puzzles (Pyramid level). You just have to make sure that you are close enough to the 1500 points before you drop the chest in the nighttime level.

      Suz

      • I did not think you could choose where you played in Phlinx. I thought you just had to keep going. Can you go backwards to get to the Pyramid level? I will be doing that one next so hope I can get it.

        On another note……I did get to the 5000 club. Never thought I would do it but all these challenges got me there. Yi;ppee!!!

        • Congrats & Welcome to the 5K Club!!

          Yes, you can go back to the Pyramid level, just use the back arrow when you enter the game. Good Luck!

          Suz

        • congrats to you

          yes you can go back
          i never mess with the 8 columns again

          or the diamond badges
          anymore

      • Thanks for the Phlinx tips! Happened to glance in here for that before I started (thankfully) and there was lots of great tips! Thanks everyone!
        Phlinx is done!

        Next up is Cookie Connect! Not a favorite either and long! So will do the levels I redo over and over to get it done asap lol

  48. Can someone tell me about Jewel academy……do we have to play the whole game or can we just play the Jet plane and have it count?

    • In Jewel Academy you can just keep replaying level #1. In Jet Set Solitaire you can just play the bridge in San Fran over and over, no need to do any airplane level.

      Suz

    • Lizz there is no jet plane level in jewel academy, you’re thinking of jet set solitaire which is not part of this marathon =)

      • HaHa 🙂 I’m so used to having the same games that I thought I played Jet Set Solitaire…lol

        Suz

        • oh my goodness. I can’t believe I did say that. I was gone this afternoon and thought about jet set all the time…..haha. Guess my brain is fried from doing all these repeats. Thanks for the heads up. I took a few hours off today so maybe I will be a little sharper tomorrow…….

  49. WOO HOO! I just earned the Quinn’s Aquarium badge and completed the PBA,, :-). In re Quinn’s Aquarium, the “Random” puzzles makes this game alot easier to play. The beauty is if you get a puzzle you are not comfortable with, just keep hitting the “Quit” tab until you do get one. Good Luck “Everyone”!

      • The only members that have random puzzles available to play are the ones that have completed all 3 Parts of the Tropical Tank. Next Tuesday when the next 60 levels are released they will no longer be able to do random puzzles either, until they finish the 60 new levels.

        Suz

  50. How in the world can you get 6 bingos in one game? I am having trouble getting 3. I bought the golden balloon power up and in one game was able to activate it twice….still no 6. Help.

    • I play in the higher rooms and keep trashing the powerups until I get 2 or 3 golden balloons in one game. One game I got 29 bingo’s… So keep on trashing and play in a room as high up as you can… Good luck!

    • well, I have been trying and trying to get a blackout on all 4 cards – I finally got it today while working this marathon – I was so happy – plus I got almost 40,000 XP points at the same time

    • I used the tips here on BH for using the golden balloon P/Us and not calling bingo unless it fell 1, 2 or 3… All went pretty smoothly but still took patience. Now, although a bit overkill, I did have a game with 45 Bingos and 2 black outs.

  51. I just finished the Album and if I never see the words “Quinn’s Aquarium” again I shall be completely satisfied.
    I liked the game at the beginning but now it is beyond printable posting……my vent would be greatly censored if not moderated right out.

    The gall of Pogo to send 10 blue shells back-to-back (all readily accessible) right in my face at the end of my last hours-long game. (I only needed 2) Paranoia aside, I take that as a personal gesture of some kind. lol

  52. i feel so stupid…for some reason i thought i had to finish the pop skills badge before i could do the one in this album…and i did work a couple diff times in poppit bingo ..i did several of the other badges in the album then realized omg the pop skills is a mnm i can do both at same time.. but decided to do all the other and give poppit bingo a rest…smh i could have had both done lol

    • It happens 🙂 Someone asked a question earlier and I answered it, only I gave instructions for 2 games, and 1 of them isn’t even part of the Marathon. We do Jet Set so often I just assumed it was in this PBA too…lol

  53. QA wasn’t as bad as I was dreading. But it sure is time consuming. All done but the the bingo badge.

    I need my memory refreshed — I’m saving the last bingo badge in the album to combine with the weekly but I also have one of the free M&Ms to do that ties in well with the weekly. I know I can activate one or the other, but can I activate both? And album badge and an M&M. Thanks!

    • Yes, you sure can. Yesterday as I was doing the new PBA Bingo badge I finished 5 Bingo badges from the States MnM set. Good luck!

      • Thanks Cindy!

        I’m not one who buys badges, so I think it’s a first for me to an album challenge and an M&M to combine. And the weekly!

        So on Wednesday, I can do a three-fer. 😀

  54. Pogo didn’t fix Poppit Party at least not for me it’s slow to load. They fixed it for themselves by removing how many of the chest drop per game so we will pay to wash them.

  56. Just out of curiosity regarding QA — what is the point of the orange sand dollars. i can apparently buy more of them, but why? Is there some purpose to them? Got almost 700 of them and not a clue what to do with them.

    TIA!

  57. Finished the marathon a few hours ago. Not bad, but not honestly that fun or enjoyable, either. Just going through the motions to get it done…

    The Poppit! Bingo badge was worst/longest, but I was able to complete three of the GOTM gift badges while doing that one, so it could’ve been worse.

  58. I had no problem with Jewel Academy last night. I was up to 12 of the 25 needed for the badge and decided to go to sleep and continue in the morning. Went to play this morning and the game loads, I choose a level and then nothing.. The game won’t start. It just shows how many moves I need and I just can’t get in. Help!! Any ideas?

  59. I have completed the marathon. Never thought I would get this one done. I thought by some miracle I would finish with a few hours to spare. Now I feel like I ran a marathon. lol It was more tiring then enjoyable but now it’s done I can forget about it.

    Good luck to all still doing it.

    • I feel the same way. I am so relieved I’m done. I didn’t enjoy this marathon at all. Sudoku went the fastest…1 game and it was done.

      • Thank you JB. It is nice to have it over with and well done to you for completing the marathon.

  60. I find it so amazing that yesterday we were all fighting to get chests in Poppit Party. This morning I go to play my usual morning games and wowee..I get 10 chests every time I play and never have to pay or work. If they can make that game switch so easily from day to day, they certainly can make these other games so those of us that can’t play quinn or some of those others easier so we can get badges.

    • I was getting 10 and 11 chests yesterday when I did my Marathon badge. It just depends on what costumes you are using, and how lucky you are.

      Suz

      • Yep that is so true- It didn’t take me long on my main account to get it as I got quite a few chests each round, on my 2nd name not so much and definitely took longer on my mom and grandma’s because their costumes and ones on my 2nd account aren’t leveled too awful much

        • I’m just starting the Marathon on my 2nd (Holly) account, and her costumes are not leveled up, so expect a problem there. Now on my 3rd account they are all leveled up also, just the luck of the costume pieces. But I don’t know that I’ll get to the Marathon on my 3rd account. It depends on how long it takes me on Holly’s 🙂

  61. The sale on the States bundles came at a perfect time, I am whipping through them pairing them with the marathon badges. I won 5 doing Poppit Bingo the other day and just now I’ve completed 3 and working on the 4th States badge with Poppit Party.

    I’ve gone through my 20 guys once (don’t have King) and have completed 3 States badges and working on the 4th, right now at 12/50 games. on Illinois. Have 60/120 costumes for the marathon badge and 47/150 super pops from the only weekly I didn’t have. So far so good, will probably wait until tomorrow and all the guys are ‘cleaned’. )

    • Nester seems to take longer and longer to clean……it is over a day I think

    • I agree with you, Cindy! The States Bundles sale came at the right time. I picked up the #3 bundle and I’m so grateful to be able to pair up a State badge with a July Marathon badge and get them both done in one effort! There are games in both that would not be fun (for me) to have to play twice, but to get a 2-for makes it more worth it 🙂
      I’ll never get the July Marathon done because I’m boycotting Quinn’s (I know, Pogo doesn’t care, but I do), but it’s fun to get those others paired up and done.
      Have fun with your pairs too!

      • Yess indeed. Yesterday and today I paired 4 States badges with the Poppit Party challenge, 3 with the Cookie Connect challenge and 1 with Sudoku,. When I finished those I did the last marathon badge, you guessed it, Quinn’s Aquarium. I don’t hate it, I rather like it even though it can be annoying, but then again so are Solitaire Gardens and Mahjong Escape, lol.

        I can’t believe I really finished the marathon album, I didn’t think I’d get it done in time with some of the badges being quite long but it certainly helped that I had so many States badges to pair with them.

  62. I’ve had no problems with any of the badges except Phlinx II . This game is driving me insane!!! Hated it before I started the game and now I detest it.!!! The darn balls keep collapsing. Any hints on how to get this badge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Play on Pyramid. I got that clue from Suz and it worked….finished in a few hours…..Have you tried that?

    • Hi Peg,

      When I play Phlinx II, I need to go very slow to check the matching balls on the sides. I also take advantage of the slot (for lack of a better word) to put an unmatched ball on the right side since I can’t use it. By going slower (same with Quinn’s) I finish the game faster. Best of luck!

      • Thanks Dee, I finally got the dreaded badge, but now have a headache from H—! Glad it’s over.

  63. I’m never going to get the marathon album finished thanks to QA. I am on Part 3 Level 55 and can’t finish the board without buying power ups which I absolutely refuse to do! I know I’ll pass it eventually but I doubt I will in time. If you could only go back and replay levels, but nooooooo. Pogo blew it on this one and I’m not happy. I guess I have some soul searching to do about buying or using a power up. poop.

  64. I really preferred marathons as the MnMs. I hate it that I cannot work on some of the long badges in parallel. Some really were 5-10 min badges, but Solitaire Garden, Quinn’s, Jewel Academy are too much for me to do in one sitting, I would rather alternate between the three but I am forced to do them one at a time under the new Premium format. Yuck.

  65. Happy Dance y–. Finished marathon on both accounts. Worked on both accounts by completing same challenge before moving on. Felt had a better handle of it and knew I would get them done.

    No problems with any of the games loading, black screen, etc. Saved QA for last thinking it was going to be a long one. Funny it was the opposite. Most took me 1 1/2 hrs+ to complete. PP was the longest for me. Only play it for badges so my wardrobe is pretty stingy looking, lol.

    GL to All Still Working on it n Congrats to those who Finished!

    • Well done. QA put me off at the start and I decided I wouldn’t do it but ended up getting it done because like you, it was easier than I thought it would be.

  66. Hi All. I’m having a real problem with Jewel Academy. I’m stuck at level 40. I’ve won the game several times with three stars, but after I win, it says I need one star to unlock the gate. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Any ideas? Thanks for any and all help.

    • It’s the total stars collected from previous games up to that point where you open the gate. Playing the same game over and over will only count once if you have 3 stars got. You need to check previous levels. Check the ones with one or two stars to see if you can increase enough stars to open the gate. Good luck.

  67. how can u get 6 bingos in one game it took me 4 day to get 100 im not paying for over price games

  68. I just finished the Marathon, the cards were stacked against me, I ended up in the hospital for a couple of days and yesterday my backup battery died on me, so I could not play while I was at work, but I finally finished. GL Everyone, I did not like this Marathon at all.

    • So glad you are feeling better! Thought this was one of the toughest marathons and you did great to finish with the setbacks. Now sit back and relax!

  71. Hi All,
    I hope everyone that wanted to finished the July Race… 🙂
    I had a rough start with the Poopit Bingo, but I finished all the badges little while ago and i was pleasantly surprised… I like the album completion badge– yay!
    GL on this week’s badges, Tom

  72. I am glad that it is done, It was the toughest one yet and like you, I hope all those who wanted to finish the Marathon Album did, Pogo didn’t even give a week this time.
