As part of Lunar New Year Celebration a new Club Pogo Challenge Quest starts today through March 2. In this event there will be four weeks of expert Challenges, including an extra-hard Master Challenge. If you can complete four expert Challenges plus the Master Challenge, you’ll win a new Limited Edition Badge (awarded after the event ends).
Lunar New Year Celebration Limited Edition Badge
A Pogo Challenge Quest has two parts. First, a Master Challenge which can be completed anytime during the four weeks. Second, there will be four Wednesday “expert” Challenges. These will all be free. If for any reason you do not want to complete a Wednesday expert Challenge, you will be able to purchase an alternate corresponding Challenge for that week to complete instead for 40 gems so you can still be eligible to win the reward.

I want to know where my Master Challenge and Week 1 Badges are. They are normally considered M&M Badges, but they are not in my album. And they aren’t in the Weekly Badge Album count either, checked that just to make sure they are MIA.
Suz
MomsBassetHound says
I’ve heard from a very reliable source that once completed the Mahjong Sanctuary Badge will show in your Special Edition Album.
Suz
MomsBassetHound says
The completed Poppit Bingo Badge is right next to the Mahjong Sanctuary Badge in my Special Edition Album, so have found the final resting place for both.
Thanks Everyone!!
Suz
Dusty says
Look in your Special Edition Album 🙂
MomsBassetHound says
Thanks!
Suz
Trudy Thibodaux says
its on the top of your page called Ring In The New Year, click that and it takes you to the games
MomsBassetHound says
Thanks, but I was trying to find what album housed the completed badges.
Suz
Dusty says
Well, I’,M happy but not happy. 🙂 I lost 10 dollars to my friend. I had bet him either Quinn’s or Snowbird would be the Master Challenge. 🙂 But honestly I think paying the 10 dollars is worth it. 🙂
Sue says
WOW no Quinn’s or Snowbird.WTG Pogo.Thank You.
Sue
Cher says
I finished the master challenge. I just matched the flowers and hit new game. Level 10 or 25 worked best for me.
GL to all who are participating!
Happy Badge Day!
Cher 🙂
DeeVermont says
I’m so sick of level 4 and I like level 10.
Thanks,
Dee
tiggerlicious196 says
Mahjong Sanctuary is moving right along, I use level 4 since it is quick and the layout is good
mnstrtrx4me says
I was matching just the flowers and hitting new game, but then I realized I wasn’t getting credit for another challenge I’m doing for the same game, which is to actually win X amount of games. Doh!
Susan says
Cher, thanks for the tip about level 25! It’s working well for me, too! = )
wuzzie70 says
Thanks, Cher, for the tips on levels 10 and 25. I also found a good level, for those who are far enough. Level 121 is a good one — I can usually get anywhere from 2-4 flower tiles matches each game. I just hit “back to sanctuary” if I don’t see anymore flower tiles hiding beneath other tiles. Good luck to everyone!
FADEDWILDROSE says
Sanctuary: I tried your 10 and 25 but still prefer 8 which was suggested by someone some time ago. All three are better than my old standby 4.
Catherine L says
Thanks for recommending level 10 and level 25. I always used level 4 and got into the habit of using that level. The flowers tiles are mostly hidden and you are well through the game before you know where they are. With level 10 and level 25, you see the flower tiles and can work your way towards them. Although I find level 25 a little easier and it makes the badge go a little quicker. I match the flower tiles and go back to Sanctuary and it counts.
Good luck to all.
KarePackage says
It is good to see Peggle, Blast, Jet Set and Slots for the other weeks. It’s nice not to see Quinn’s or Snowbird!
Sanctuary can be almost finished just by doing the daily. I no longer buy badges but I think 40 gems is very costly for the alternate badges that only pays 200 pogis..
Good luck all!
DeeVermont says
I also think 40 gems is too much for the alternative badges. I prefer to spend 20 gems on badges that offer 400 to 600 pogis. Thus I am skipping the alternate badges.
Guess I’m getting addicted to pogis, oh no!!
Dee
RyzandShyn says
It seems to me that they always pick games I really like for the “alternate” badges, but although I’d really like them, I don’t buy them because of the price.
GreenT says
Question: Do the “Alternate” badges ever get offered in the Vault sales, or do they disappear forever?
MomsBassetHound says
No, they never have been re-released, but that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t happen one day.
Suz
GreenT says
Thanks, Moms. 40 gems seems like such a waste for an unremarkable, non-animated badge. Oh well.
MomsBassetHound says
They actually charged 60 gems for the alternates for the 1st Quest a few years ago.
Suz
Captiva007Pl says
Okay, I finished the Master Challenge and got the first week’s badge in Poppit Bingo. When I finished Poppit Bingo, there was a pop-up that said something like “You have 2 out of 5…..somethings?” It was gone so fast I couldn’t read it all. I thought I was done for the week. So, what is this 2/5 thing? What am I missing here? I saw someone mention Peggle Blast. Is there an extra badge to do there? I can’t find anything else to do for this week unless I want to buy the alternate badges and I don’t. So, can anyone tell me am I finished for this week or not? Thanks!!
Just sign me confused.
MomsBassetHound says
You are done for the week.
Next Wednesday the weekly badge is Peggle Blast, and that will give you 3/5. On week 3 the weekly badge is Jet Set Solitaire and that will give you 4/5. The final week the badge is for Pogo Slots, and once you finish the challenge you will have your 5/5 and be done.
Suz
Captiva007Pl says
Thanks, Moms! I thought it meant for this week I had 2/5. I guess I am through until next week. Whew! Glad to hear that!
Thanks again, Suz!
typenstamp says
I hope everyone is going in every day and getting their free coins in pogo slots because I just noticed that is the badge for week 4–win 14000 coins. Unless you get lucky, that is an awful lot considering the ultra low payouts.
MomsBassetHound says
I just finished a badge where I had to win 20,000 coins and it took me a little over 1000 spins. I looked at my weekly stats when I was done, was curious to see what it took. So everyone needs to be prepared b/c I had a couple of really good spins.
Suz
Bex says
Going to put this on Autospin and knit hats for the local food pantry while it goes
Boo says
think its also the game of the month for march…get all the free coins now while ya can, gonna needem!

RyzandShyn says
Great Advice! Everyone needs to up their coin amounts for the next Lunar New Year badge and then for GOTM. The Lunar New Year Badge will (more than likely) seriously deplete you current stash, and then GOTM will be more difficult. It’s always disheartening to read posts where players say they don’t have enough coins.
Going in every 24 hours+1minute is the way to go.
Put a small post-in on your monitor if you need help remembering the time 🙂
Kathy says
For week one of the lunar it says to win so many games with 3 bingos. Since it only gives credit for 1 game each time is it wiser to play two games or four at a time?
MomsBassetHound says
Do you mean playing 4 cards versus 2 cards? If so, you have a better chance of getting a total of 3 bingos if you have 4 cards than if you only have 2.
Suz
Sonja says
I like Pogo Bingo but 30 games takes a lot of time. I’m always working on ranking up but don’t play 30 games in a week! This week will be an exception. Almost there. 🙂
Mickey Smithson says
I’ve been playing for over 5 hours and only have 4 of 30!!!
Sonja says
Use the balloon powerup, It’s a stingy game in those too. And the cannon at the end I get tons of bingos, it’s just the amount of games!
Have no idea how long a game lasts.
MomsBassetHound says
When I’m playing for rank I get in about 10 games an hour. It doesn’t take long for a game.
Suz
MomsBassetHound says
Have you read this article, or watched the video?
https://www.badgehungry.com/2016/12/08/poppit-bingo-earn-free-cactus-cash-tickets-power-ups/
It’s the strategy that most use, and makes the game very enjoyable.
Good Luck!
Suz
Brenda M. says
Mickey, are you playing 4 cards? That seems like an awfully long time to get 4 games with 3 bingos. Play 4 cards and you’re pretty much guaranteed at least 3 bingos.
nessa says
One “Game” in a game where you can play 1- 4 CARDS, Cards are not Games. This is why you only credit for 1 Game each time regardless of the number of cards you choose to play.
You need a Total of (at least)3 Bingos each game, not 3 bingos per card, so IMO the wiser thing to do is to play the maximum number of Cards , the more cards the more chances to have 3 or more bingos in one game.
.
RyzandShyn says
Thanks! to everyone for sharing favorite Mahjong Sanctuary levels!
While Level 4 is tried and true, it gets old quickly.
I had great success with using levels 6, 8, 10, 13, and 25, all recommended by BH members at one point or another.
I despise Mahjong games (except Safari ♥).
But I love Badge Hungry 🙂
Thanks again.
Mickey Smithson says
You are right and now I’ve been at this game nearly 7 hours. Only at 18.
Teri says
You don’t need to finish the game to get credit. Go in, make your matches, and end the game. Rinse and repeat.
Scotty says
I found level 26 in Mahjong Sanctuary had at least two matches at the very beginning, sometimes three, anyway you don’t have to go through much of the puzzle to get four before starting over.
took about an hour to complete
ultimatetreebe says
Thanks Scotty, that is a good level to do it quickly. I learned something this morning, you do not have to match them up as pairs for it to count…that has been slowing me down….
Kathy says
I finished the Poppitt Bingo badge , played 4 cards and use the cannon. pretty badge
Mickey Smithson says
So yesterday playing Poppit Bingo I spent over 7 hours and got a total of 18 out of 30. I try to move ahead today and I notice Pogo made a change. Yesterday you had to have 3 out of the 4 cards simultaneously have a bingo. 1 or 2 card bingo’s wouldn’t move you up. This morning no matter how many bingo’s I get out of 4 cards they all count towards 30. So just like that after less than an hour I’m finished.
angela loper says
first time i played sanctuary and liked it.
i got the badges then went on to levels and i made it to 50
and rain comes down.
you do not have to finish the game to get credit, get the seasons or the flowers and close it up
….
bingo
i use all power ups, and i am in room 22
when i had left, i was ranked 200 and room 20
so i guess they added 2 rooms.
no matter how many bingos you get, you only get credit for 1 per game.
Kathy says
I got Mahjong Sanctuary badge and played level 10 suggesting by someone and it worked well .
so far the badges for the new lunar celebration will l seem fun to do
have a great weekend
Jon C says
Finished about 3 hours for Poppit Bingo and 2.5 hours for Mahjong Sanctuary since tonight
Jon C says
Finished about 30 minutes for Peggle Blast on week 2
Kathy says

shelnick9293 says

Jon C says
Finished about 25 minutes for Jet Set on week 3
FADEDWILDROSE says
Weird happenings in Pogo Slots! After several times in a row winning just 10 while spending 900 for the 10 spins, I started actually watching the reels and discovered that all the reels were showing the exact same after every spin! That was resulting in a win of 1 absolutely every spin. I exited the game and the problem cleared, but the payouts are still extremely low — not my lucky day.
oldblue153 says
Good that you caught it and left…it happens occasionally and be warned! its never good, even if you were on a repeated winning spin…lets say you were getting 100 every spin or 1,000 for the ten.
Well Pogo would take back all the winnings you made while the glitch was happening the next time you entered the room… so playing that winning spin over n over would get you nothing…and to add insult to injury they would charge you 30 ( or 60 or 90!) for every spin you made (300 loss for every ten spins…regardless of what the reels indicate).
I myself lost about 20,000 on a winning spin and know several others who thought they were beating the odds only to get them all taken back and then some….with one unlucky person who spun for hours and lost 100,000 coins.
MomsBassetHound says
I don’t understand how the company that produced all the Badges for Club Pogo doesn’t know the difference between a Special Edition Badge and a Limited Edition Badge.
For the genius at Pogo that classified this badge…please read the manual on badge classifications. If you don’t have one I’m sure that many of your players can help you out.
I was awarded the badge on my 2nd account when I finished the Pogo Slots Badge. I was all ready to activate the badge, but when I went to the last M&M Album it wasn’t there. So I checked the Special Edition Album and found that was where they put it. So, no badge to complete, no Pogis to earn.

Mozartjea says
I had the same thing happen to me after I completed the alternate mnm First Class Solitaire badge. I am p’ed, really p’ed off. Shame on pogo!!!
Julia
tiggerlicious196 says
Yikes, I hope they change that, what a shame otherwise!Suz I do have a question- I had it showing I did last week’s Jet Set Solitaire(just checked and no badge so the page was weird when showing me), can I still do the alternate mix and match badge to get credit for last week or is it too late?
MomsBassetHound says
Yes, you could, but you don’t have to. When I look at your badges, from your profile, it shows that you completed the week #3 badge, and you were awarded the completion badge.
Congrats!!
Suz
tiggerlicious196 says
It was really strange, I did the Pogo Slots and it awarded me the completion badge- Pogo is at it again with the weirdness, lol
MomsBassetHound says
Pogo Spike has posted a poll in the forums asking if we want the Limited Edition completion badges to come with or without a challenge.
If you want Pogis you need to vote for Limited Edition Badges with a Challenge…

I completed the Jet Set Solitaire badge for week 3. Today it shows that I did not complete that badge. Is there something I can do to get credit for week? I am really disappointed.
Anne
tiggerlicious196 says
I am in the same boat, it says expired for me on that page, however I just did the Pogo Slots badge and was awarded the limited edition badge for the event so I’m confused, lol
MomsBassetHound says
The only thing you can do is to purchase the alternate badge for last week (Spades) for 40 gems and complete that. But it has to be the Spades Badge, the other alternates will not count for week #3.
Good Luck!
Suz
Anne Hayden says
Actually, when I finished the 4th week, I was rewarded the badge. To say that I am confused is an understatement.
Thank you Tiger and Suz for responding!!
June
shelnick9293 says
I finished the Pogo Slots and actually gained about 4,000 coins. I am ready for the GOTM in March with over 775K coins so hopefully the games are not too demanding.
Lovette M Mott says
Is anyone going for this constellation? it would take all of my extra badges and more. I’m at the bottom of the silver. Think I may use the Sue “zen’ approach this time.
MomsBassetHound says
Yes, I’ll finish it easily. And I know some that have already finished, and many that are just holding off like me to utilize the free content rather than use purchased badges.
Suz
RyzandShyn says
It really is a shame that they promised a Limited Edition badge for completing this event and we didn’t get one.
Yes, the badge they gave us is labeled Limited Edition but it is actually a Special Edition badge and is in my Special Edition Album. It is just a completion badge and is not playable.
A Limited Edition badge is a playable badge (with Pogis) and is what we got after all the other Challenge Quests, for example:
Challenge Quest: Summer Vacation – August 26, 2020 – and we got Canasta HD – 2020 Summer Adventure Limited Edition Badge Make 40 Canastas in 3 weeks!
Challenge Quest: Winter Journey – February 26, 2020 – and we got World Class Solitaire HD – 2020 Winter Journey Limited Edition Badge Visit 8 cities in 3 weeks!
I really don’t understand it because the labeling system for the various types of badges and the formula for how various events (Quests, Hunts, etc.) are run has always been the same – up to now at least.
Jon C says
Finished about 35 minutes for Pogo Slots on week 4
