It’s the return of Tuesday Tips Day! (Yes, it’s been over 8 years since our last one!) If this type of post goes well, each Tuesday we’ll be showcasing one of Pogo.com’s games and collecting your tips, insights, and hints for playing the game, ranking up, and earning badges more easily. These weekly posts will be a place for you to give help and get help with Pogo’s games and badges, and tips shared may be used to put together detailed guides in the future!
We’re talking about Mahjong Sanctuary this week. There are a total of 100 Mahjong Sanctuary ranks to be earned, and these are the types of challenges Pogo offers for its badges:
- Win # games
- Make # perfect season matches
- Make # perfect flower matches
- Score # points
- Match # flower tiles
- Make Combo X2/X3/X4 # times
- Match # tiles
- Make # combos
- Match # season tiles
Starter tips:
- There are no season tiles until you get to level 3.
- Flower tiles do not appear in puzzles until level 4.
- A perfect match is when you match two of the exact same season or flower tile together.
- See the Mahjong Sanctuary Badge Guide for more!
Do you have any questions about this game? Do you have any more tips to share for the game itself or the types of challenges listed above? Leave them in a comment below. Thank you!

Never play the original layout of the puzzle. Check the number of moves. Hit “Back to sanctuary” then” replay”. Check the number of moves and most always it will be higher. Sometimes much higher. I have gone from 9 to 26, and 25 to 39. Do it a couple of times an, then find the highest one.
A good place to use the joker power-up [looks like a broken stone] is for season or flower tiles. If one of them is free to move, and you select it, all the season or flower tiles on the board will match. Always take a look at the tiles that light up, to see if the one you want to get rid of is in that group, then hit the “activate’ button.
I love this game, I am at level 400. I have used LOTS of feathers.
Terri says
Several of us are stuck on level 220…………..what was your success based on?? I/we have used PU”s w/o success…HELP!!!
Johnnie says
Try using your power ups. Shuffle will really help on this level. I have played all 450 and hoping they release more soon.
Emma says
I’ve been stuck on level 220 for days. I’ve tried several PU’s but they don’t help. It’s driving me crazy!
DebbieD says
Thanks for this tip, Diane Mc! I definitely hadn’t thought about restarting the game until there was an acceptable number of moves available. I REALLY like that the number of moves is provided! I wish this was also a feature on Quinn’s Aquarium.
Another thing I like about Mahjong Sanctuary is that I can “buy” power-ups with feathers I’ve earned from playing the game instead of spending money on gems for power-ups.
Fun game and I look forward to seeing what the fully decked out zoo/sanctuary will look like.
Thanks for reintroducing Tuesday’s Tips, Lura!!
DeeVermont says
After winning a level I receive feathers which I can use to purchase power-ups (not gems).
When it comes to combo’s I just kept clicking and received more credit compared to letting the meter “cool” down.
I will probably think of other tips later.
Mrs Cathleen E Hogg says
I and quite a lot of others are stuck on 220. Even using the aids doesn’t help. The most it starts off with matching is 4 and normally 1 or 2 and when you match these , that’s it. You may get another couple of matches with the help of the feathers but that is it. Why can’t EA make their games a bit more playable. Most of them just seem to be stupidly easy for the first few scenes and then just become unplayable. It’s just crackers.
Terri says
I too am stuck on this horrible level. TOO many tries to count. Have used up to 4 power ups w/o any success. What is wrong here?? Why can’t a game be created with doable challenges, I don’t mind using a PU but when it takes multiple…… unfair !
Any and all suggestions welcome
Dino says
There is a Magic challenge this time around – “Match 120 season tiles” – use Level 3, match all 4 of the seasons, which are always all accessible at that Level, and then end the game – you get credit for 4, that challenge was very quick using this “trick”.
Paulette Davidson says
How do you go back to play level 4, or any level for that matter?
Thanks
Paulette Davidson says
sorry, I meant level 3.
MomsBassetHound says
You have to finish the first 25 levels, and spend the 25 stars you earned upgrading your animal’s area. Once you do that you can replay levels 1 thru 25.
Suz
Paulette Davidson says
Thanks
Robin says
Thanks!!!!
Life4Style says
I actually used both level 3 and 4 for this Badge. Both levels have the season tiles at the top within easy view.
FADEDWILDROSE says
Good plan! I might give the specifics of how I like to end the game (1) back to sanctuary (2) yes (3) retry. I hope it continues to work for future badges.
Melanie says
Please Fix It Better Make It Easier Please Lura Thank You😥😥

Make the game easier?Lura has no control over Pogo games
capstoy says
Thank you so much for bringing back Tuesday Tip Day……
jigsawing says
As far as PUs are concerned, to my surprise my all-time favorite “shuffle” is usually useless. The most effective one is “extra slot” but that can often fail, also. Need to take care not to invest PUs one-after-another just to protect the original investment. I have gotten to the point where I usually just quit and return to the Sanctuary. PUs are very expensive so to that degree the cost saves me foolish, wasteful spending.
I love the whole concept of this game and visit my ever-growing zoo often. So much going on! lol
Tim says
We ought to be getting rebates on all the gems we have to get .
Every time I hit shuffle it gives me 2 then shuffling again & again .
So far I ain’t liking this one at all .
tiggerlicious196 says
This game takes no gems, it uses feathers which you earn in the game
Samdy H says
I enjoy playing this game especially since I do not have to spend money on it for power ups. I do have a question though. Can someone please explain the rain obstacle for me? I am usually able to get through and finish the game but I do not know exactly what I am supposed to be doing.
Dan says
On the boards with the rain, after making a certain number of matches, 2 random tiles will be placed randomly on the board.
It’s just a programmed obstacle, like the vines/cutters and frozen tiles.
Sandy H says
Thank you for your help Dan. So the main thing is just to continue to try to complete the game like I have been doing.
WCurry5990 says
Hi;
When we have to make “X” amount of combos, once we get credit for a combo should we stop and start another combo or should we keep going and make the combo last as long as possible? Thanks in advance!
DeeVermont says
Hi WCurry,
I tried it both ways with the combo challenge.
First I let the meter “cool down” and didn’t get as much credit compared to continuously clicking on the tiles when the meter was at it’s highest (I think it said 5 but I could be wrong). So I just kept going as long as I could.
Hope that helps!
cortnum says
And to think , I always thought it was Taco Tuesday , glad to have another reason to enjoy a Tuesday. Wtg , Lura !!!
RyzandShyn says
Nice to see this type of help page return. I used the old ones when I started doing badges and was looking for help with games I was unfamiliar with. I always go to the BH thread that starts the day a new game is
introduced for gameplay help.
I haven’t even opened this game yet (sick and tired of the Mahjong genre except Safari), but if I do, I’ll be reading this thread first.
Thanks to all who have left their input.
MomsBassetHound says
You need to play this and get some animal areas set up for when your granddaughter is old enough to sit on your lap in front of the computer. The animals move around their area, to eat, to sleep, to play. I’ve caught myself just sitting watching my hippos jump in and out of the water. They’re adorable, especially when they are playing in their mud area…lol

Diane Mc says
The zebra’s kick the ball up and bounce it off their heads . Very cute.
Cindy4764 says
And the giraffes do the limbo. 😂 I have the giraffes, elephants and zebras done, now working on the lion compound. I do like watching them wander around, especially with their play time toys. 😊
RyzandShyn says
Cindy –
Ok, that’s too much cuteness….I’ll try it 🙂
RyzandShyn says
LOL Suz and Diane – it does sound cute and I’m sure the grands would get a kick out of it.
Cindy4764 says
It really is cute, Ryz, and there is the added bonus of not having to spend gems. I am on level 173, I have over 5000 feathers and have refilled my Add Slot Booster only twice. I haven’t used either of the other Boosters and I don’t really even know what the 5 power ups are.
I started playing more when doing the badges I got with this last Magic and just kept on playing. 🙂
Rebecca says
This is a welcomed treat for Tuesdays! Thank you for it!
deldiva says
Would someone explain what the raining means and how that time in the game should be played.
signslady says
deldiva – An earlier post from Dan stated “On the boards with the rain, after making a certain number of matches, 2 random tiles will be placed randomly on the board.
It’s just a programmed obstacle, like the vines/cutters and frozen tiles.”
For me, I just continue to play as I normally do.
playcody06 says
I just went into this game all I have here is some trees and rocks where are the tiles or how do you even start to play this dumb game, there are animals on the right sidei pressed on one but nothing comes up,i read how to play I also read these tips and don’t understand it, I don’t see a pause button or anything
kaa223 says
Once you select an animal, you need to click the gold/yellow button in the bottom right corner that has the universal arrow sign for PLAY and says “Lvl #”. This will take you to the puzzle.
