Tuesday Tips Day: Mahjong Sanctuary

Pogo Games September 17, 2019

Mahjong Sanctuary (thumbnail)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.

      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

        September 19, 2019 at 8:05 am

        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

        September 29, 2019 at 4:41 pm

        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

      September 19, 2019 at 2:55 pm

      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!!

    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.

  3. Mrs Cathleen E Hogg says

    September 17, 2019 at 8:38 am

    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

      September 17, 2019 at 10:27 pm

      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

    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

      September 17, 2019 at 11:59 am

      How do you go back to play level 4, or any level for that matter?
      Thanks

      • Paulette Davidson says

        September 17, 2019 at 12:00 pm

        sorry, I meant level 3.

        • MomsBassetHound says

          September 17, 2019 at 12:12 pm

          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.

      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

      September 17, 2019 at 3:45 pm

      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.

    Thank you so much for bringing back Tuesday Tip Day……

    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

  7. Tim says

    September 17, 2019 at 1:05 pm

    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

      September 17, 2019 at 3:51 pm

      This game takes no gems, it uses feathers which you earn in the game

    September 17, 2019 at 1:59 pm

    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

      September 17, 2019 at 2:47 pm

      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

        September 17, 2019 at 9:38 pm

        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.

    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

      September 17, 2019 at 7:04 pm

      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!

    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.

      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

        The zebra’s kick the ball up and bounce it off their heads . Very cute.

        • Cindy4764 says

          September 17, 2019 at 6:44 pm

          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

            September 17, 2019 at 10:18 pm

            Cindy –
            Ok, that’s too much cuteness….I’ll try it 🙂

        • RyzandShyn says

          September 17, 2019 at 7:28 pm

          LOL Suz and Diane – it does sound cute and I’m sure the grands would get a kick out of it.

          • Cindy4764 says

            September 18, 2019 at 1:38 pm

            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. 🙂

    Would someone explain what the raining means and how that time in the game should be played.

    • signslady says

      September 19, 2019 at 6:31 am

      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.

    September 18, 2019 at 8:17 pm

    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

      September 19, 2019 at 10:38 am

      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.

    I am not understanding how to do the Make a combo x3 200 times in the Mahjong Sanctuary Spellbook Vol 18 Badge. I am getting one here and there but cant figure out what makes these.

    • FADEDWILDROSE says

      December 30, 2019 at 5:08 pm

      At the top when you are playing there is a gauge that shows nX combos you have made. Any matches you make while this gauge shows 3X is the combo you are looking for. When it hits 4X you want to pause for “cool down” because for the badges so far it has not credited above the required nX combo.

  16. Linda says

    December 30, 2019 at 3:00 pm

    What does it mean when it rains?

    • FADEDWILDROSE says

      December 30, 2019 at 5:04 pm

      On the right it shows how many moves you can make before more new tiles “rain down” onto your layout. Sometimes these new tiles are helpful, sometimes not. It does negate the usual but not always rule that each color/rank tile exists four times in the layout.

  17. Jean says

    December 30, 2019 at 8:18 pm

    I went over the Thread to get some tips, THANK YOU It sure helps !
    I finally got to Level 250 , it will take 12 months to Level out I think, this game takes a lot of time and I run out of feathers to use power ups
    I do the daily board and at least 1 or 2 levels a day
