  1. You know your addicted to pogo when you wake up in the morning, and before you roll out of bed, you think about what day it is, Token sunday or thursday, new challenge wednesday??? and what new marathon is starting today…..LOL

  2. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when you go on your computer first thing in the morning, and go on Pogo first before even opening your email! After Pogo, the next thing I go on is Badge Hungry! Wishing all a great weekend!

  3. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when you tell your boss you need Wednesdays off because it’s badge day on Pogo.

  4. You know your addicted to Pogo when….

    You start your day on Pogo, end your day on Pogo and your on Pogo in between.

    Wishing everyone a lovely weekend (on Pogo).

  5. wake up , toilet, feed the cat, turn on the tv news in the living room
    and go to office and turn on the pc and pogo
    …
    and at night same deal
    in reversed?
    ….

  6. oh dear god,
    how do you win at sweet tooth town,

    its hard to figure out, i thought i did, bot into construction, built four factories,
    then i find i have to have 3 stars to make any more coins,

    so i returned to them,
    and i played number 10 cupcake forever,
    then
    i bought power ups to finish it off
    real money.

    and i spent all my gems, ( didnt have too many, with free games who needs em)
    and

    i couldnt win more levels, the cookie man? is awful

    i have made it to choco factory, the easiest one, but have so many less than 3…stars.

    what power up can i buy?

    help…
    any help if appreciated,
    i think i know the basics,

    a little knowledge, is not getting the job done.

    • I haven’t even figured the game out, don’t even understand HOW to buy and use upgrades — BUT I learned here that on occasion the game has a “special event” and that when this occurs you can play the game repeatedly, at an easier level, and garner the coins for buying upgrades. I’d suggest you watch for one, and just wait until it occurs. I’m sure someone will follow after me and give you better advice.. (I missed the first “event” because I didn’t know about it).

  7. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when you inform your doctor that he cannot schedule your tests or your surgery on a Wednesday. (After 3 vascular surgeries this year, my doctor and his staff don’t even telephone me on Wednesday. lol)

    Enjoy your weekend, everyone,

    Janet

  9. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when you just spent $119.99 on bonus gems and don’t have time for all the badges because you work full time!

    Have a good weekend everyone!

    Bree

  10. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when your cat lays on your mouse preventing you to play because he wants attention (true!).

  11. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when you actually use your already sore wrist to click on 2200 prize balloons in Poppit so your yearly album is completed.

    I need an intervention.

  14. You know you are addicted when you just have to finish the challenge before you go to bed, all the while fighting sleep.
    Good news is I have the new marathon finished but am ready to fall asleep in the computer chair. Have a good weekend all!

  15. You know you’re addicted to POGO when you buy a notebook to; (1) record player names, birthdays, etc., so that you can remember them on important dates; (2) keep track of the many game hints that appear on BadgeHungry for future use; and (3) your progress on various games! (Yep, I keep a notebook, lol.) Happy weekend, everyone!

  16. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when … 😉

    you believe Wednesday is the first day of the week!

    you are at a wedding and tell everyone “The ceremony has to be delayed until I finish a badge. I am the mother of the bride so everyone has to listen to me. The couple will be eternally happy. Me if I do not earn the badge, my life will have no meaning.”

    everyone you love gathers you in a room and someone says: ” We all love you. We all care about you.
    We want the best for you. So you are not leaving this room until you agree to play less than 20 hours of Pogo a day.””

    you are at a self help group for Pogo Addicts. Someone says: “Hi I am Spike. I am prickly & live in a pot. Do not end up like me.” And you think, what a wonderful life he has!

    on your profile page you write. “To all my guests at my upcoming nuptials I have great news. I am now registered at … Pogo.com. Here is the list of badges you can gift me. Find 1 or more that expresses your unique love for me.”

    you call 911 and say: “My house is on fire. Send the fire department in 2 hours. I am working on another long Pogo badge. I will check badgehungry for a great tip or glitch. If there is one I will call & you can send the fire department earlier.”

    you go from doctor to doctor until you find the right one. She gives you a prescription to play more Pogo!

    you want your favourite sports team to change mascots to a Pogo character!

    you develop selective hearing. You think everyone is talking about Pogo.
    “As your president I am happy to announce Pogo Marathon Trizzle Event Quinn’s Aquarium Promotion!”

    when you walk the dog you take a device to play Pogo. It takes you 20 minutes to realize you have no clothes on!

    you have trouble remembering things before Pogo. “I don’t remember the 1960’s. There was no Pogo then.”

  17. You know you are addicted to Pogo when… you pour orange juice on top of your cereal to get back to your computer faster (yes, I have done this!!)

    Happy Weekend everyone!

    Jeannie

    • One morning I couldn’t wait to get started on Pogo that I pour the milk on the table instead of into the cereal bowl. Oh the things we get up to.

  18. You know you are addicted to Pogo when your power goes out and you make the hubby start the generator so you can play Pogo. Never mind lights, water, heat…..It’s all about the Pogo.

  19. GM I have a question if you can give some input. I see gin is going to HD what will that curtail as far as playing with friends etc or is it gonna be like the others where you play just the bots is and so forth. ik some players are wondering me for one as well. Thank You hagd.

    • I guess no one knows for sure, roger, but when they converted Scrabble they made it so you can play with friends still, so I imagine they will be able to program that into the new Jungle Gin as well. Afterall, people love that feature.

  20. Great topic!!

    You know you’re addicted to Pogo when it completely rules your mood for the day (or longer)!! With so many problems in the world and in our lives, it seems ridiculous. But that’s an addiction!

    Have a great weekend!

    Cher 🙂

  21. You know you’re a Pogo addict when you’re busily popping balloons, manipulating groups to make Superpops and collect prizes — then have to argue with yourself to convince yourself to stop playing because you CAN’T be playing Pogo since you are in your bed and that you actually need a computer to play!

    You know you’re an addict when you’ve put in your will that your tombstone is to be inscribed with the number of tokens, badges and ranked-out games you’ve earned in Pogo.

    • LOL – That always makes me feel like my mental health must be suffering – going to bed and seeing a Pogo game playing in my head.
      Obviously, it’s a symptom many of us share, so that proves we’re not really crazy, right? 🙂

    • I also end up playing Poppit! in my dreams and I never can seem to stop! Balloons keep dropping faster than I can get to them!

      Thanks for the laugh!

  23. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when you use Pogo as a procrastination tool for doing other things (taking a shower, housecleaning, cooking, running errands), and then also use it as your reward for getting up and doing one of those things.

  24. you know you’re a pogo addict when you turn on your computer and start your day with badgehungry then jump over to pogo and stock up on gems and badges. . by the time your badges are completed your eyes are tweaking and your fingers is already numb . i also like to add when pogo unleash the marathons, events, challenges it kinda makes me feel like I have my own character in the walking dead lol

  25. You wake up as early as you can to get all the daily’s done. Only to stay up every night wondering if POGO will ever give us a extension on finishing this marathon ?
    Every game in this marathon will take a lot longer compared to the ones we had before.
    Right now I am at 25 of 65 games with about 2 weeks to go ..
    Badge Hungry needs to open up more of the trivial pursuits .. Maybe go back 2 more yrs to finish that challenge … Only can do the daily version ..
    Randem one is for college degree kids .

    GL TO ALL

  27. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when you order a pizza to be delivered so you can eat while you play Pogo and not miss a beat.

  28. Off topic — I’m playing Claire Hart Case #18. I’m having trouble finding the Gold Keys in this case and playing on full screen. I know some are really small, but I’m having trouble finding them even with my magnifying glass! Is it just me? I’m about halfway theough the case and I know I’ve missed soome. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  29. You have all covered all my excuses. I have to play just one more game and then I will empty the garbage or make the bed or take a shower. I wonder what I would do without pogo. My internet was down this AM for a long time and I had to do chores and then I even tried to play on my ipad with puffin and that did not work. That was a very trying start to the weekend.
    Enjoy the weekend my pogo friends.
    Lizz

  30. You know you are addicted to Pogo when … 🙃

    you are determined to marry off Pogo_🦙!

    you compare all animals to Pogo characters. “The panda at the zoo is cute. But not as cute as the original Nestor”!

    you use a pee bottle to avoid taking bathroom breaks. Sometimes you are so fixated on a badge you drink from the bottle instead of your favourite beverage. Then you think, tastes a little off but better than the Pogo website being off!

    when badehungry stops new postings at night you start to get the shakes. In the early morning you refresh the page constantly hoping the newest post will change!

    you are single & dating. The make or break question is: “What is your emotional response to the word Pogo?”

    when you are sleeping you have a nightmare where you repeat to yourself: What another marathon. How many can they give us? They don’t care about us.
    When you are awake you repeat to yourself: What another marathon. How many can they give us? They don’t care about us.

    you wonder which celebrities are Club members and what their username would be!

  31. did not know where to ask this::: how do u get 50 random puzzles in trivial pursuit … do you have to answer all the question with 100 to 75 points or can you win by using some 50 points ones …. I have played around 100 games and so far am only at 20 / 50 … help please … ty
    legit

    • No, there are no answers b/c there are thousands of questions, and it’s all random as to which ones you get.

      You can get 2200 points, so you have a lot of points to play with.

      Suz

      • I guess what i meant was … I have won like 15 questions in a game but several of they are the last 2 left over and i pick the correct one … but I am not getting credit for getting the correct answer when it is down to 2 answers … is that what I am doing wrong … do i need to answer correctly when there are 4 and 3 answers …. maybe I am not making sense … i

        legit

        • I have no answer for that. I have never waited for answers to be removed. I’m a trivia buff.

          Suz

        • You get reduced points so this may be why you’re not reaching 1100 points.
          4 selections = 100 pts.
          3 selections = 75 pts.
          2 selections = 50 pts.

          so waiting till there’s 2 left would mean you get max 18×50=900 pts plus 2×100=200 pts.
          Totaling 1100 max pts..that means if you wait till there’s only 2 left every time you must be correct on every question to win.

          personally I only occasionally run it to 2 answers on the last question if i’m at 1,000 pts n only need 100 to win.(last Q is double pts so 100)

    • You have to win at least 1100 points per random quiz of 20 questions in order to get credit for one win.
      I don’t think it matters if you answer after the correct answer countdown starts as long as you get at least 1100 total points per game.

      Julia

    • When I worked on this Badge, I happened to get several repeat questions. As others have said, all you need is 1100 points. It really helps if you can get the 10th and last question because they are doubled (giving you 400 points).

      What irritated me was when I got one of these right the first time, then I clicked the wrong answer the second time it appeared! LOL I also found that sometimes a clue to an answer is in the question itself. At least this happened when I played.

    when you use Excel to keep track of your Pogo life (points, tips, tournaments, marathons, daily pickups, etc.)

  35. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when … 🤪

    you are featured on a hoaders tv series. You entire home is covered with notes, notebooks, spread sheets, post it’s etc. All about Pogo, games, minis, badges.
    You can’t bear to throw anything out!

    you know which swear & dirty words are allowed in every Pogo word game!

    you develop an irrational fear that Pogo will stop making new badges. A fellow addict gives you a phone number for a counsellor. You call and are told that only Wednesday morning appointments are available. You say no and think, I have no problem!

    you fantasize they make a reality program about Pogo and you are on it.
    Sample dialogue:
    “You aren’t special. He tells all the women they are better looking than the flight attendant in Jet Set Solitaire.”
    “Of course you won that round. You used a cheat program you lying &*#@.”
    “OMG I get to dance with Boogie the Bear. She dances with Spike. lol”
    “You are more handsome in person than your mini.”
    “Keep digging. There is a 10 gem pack somewhere in the quick sand. Find it and you get to keep it.”

    • “Of course you won that round. You used a cheat program you lying &*#@.”
      LOL – straight from “The Real Housewives of Pogo”…..are you listening Bravo?

  36. Would someone please tell me how to contact a fellow Pogo member through Pogo mail.? I need to thank her/him and to let them know that I will not open the gift, because I do not want the four QA’s that are in the gifts right now. I am waiting for all gifts to disappear. Hopefully they will by the end of this month.

    Thank you in anticipation.

    Viv.

    • If you clicked on the gift box to see who sent you the gift you have already accepted the 4 GOTM badges. If you look in your M&M Album you will see them in there already, sorry.

      But to answer your original question you just go to your Pogo mail and click on “new message”. Type their Pogo ID in the top line, type what it’s about in the subject line, tab down and type in your message.

      Suz

  37. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when you set your alarm clock for at least 7:20 on Sundays and Thursdays, (to be on time for the extra tokens), just in case you have a computer glitch.

  38. I’m up for auto renewal next month with the 100 gem bonus and a free month. Got a message from Pogo today that my CC had expired. Thought I had updated but apparently not! Notified me in plenty of time to fix it so really appreciate that!

    Didn’t know that Pogo did that and glad they do! Would have missed out on the reward. So … thanks Pogo!

  39. You know you’re addicted to Pogo when you have dreams about playing Pogo Games and ways to dress your mini. You go through withdrawal when Pogo is down, your device is on the fritz, or there’s no connection.
