  1. The first ones are easy but then they put 2 SS & 2 QA in the mix so probably won’t get any further then the first QA. With all the games available they couldn’t find 2 other games to use as they are the only ones used twice..

    • I feel the same way I won’t get beyond the first 3 also. I knew Quinn’s would be there but was really hoping for other games I could manage to play. Oh well that’s life.

  2. We express the opinion that we do not like that we cannot activate more than one badge in a marathon, so what does Pogo in response — they make it so you cannot even choose which badge to do first or next.

    • This was a real bummer for me also. I could have done all but the 2 Snowbirds and of course I can’t no matter how hard I try do Quinn’s. I get annoyed because I can do Blitz which is a timed game and Quinn’s I have all the time to study the board, but still can’t finish the first tank so rather than get frustrated I just ignore that game totally.

    • I also expressed my opinion (multiple times) regarding activating more than one badge and I’m not too happy with Pogo right now. Dee

    • I agree and also that if you cannot play a game then that means you cannot go further and at least play the ones you can.

  3. Not just one, but two QA! Might get very few pogi’s from this event (and I was looking forward to it). Grrrr!

    • Below is a list of all the Pogo games that they did NOT choose for the challenge (I think I eliminated all the games they chose) and yet we got 2 Snowbirds and 2 Quinns. Whoever picked the games didn’t think much!

      • No, I think they picked the 2 that most of the time you have to purchase power ups to win the game if you don’t have any. That is why these 2 get put into almost every event or marathon although I have seen them skip a few. I dislike this event immensely because you cannot pick which one to play.

        By your list I can see several which would have been better picks then QA & SS.

  4. I’ve already finished the current constellation. So I am going to try to complete this event in 3 days — September 3, 4, 5.– towards the next constellation. Otherwise the pogis are just wasted.

    • I’m doing the same thing on my 2nd account. I will complete Silver with the daily challenges, and have no shot at Gold, so will save it for the next constellation.

      I’ll do it on my main account to make sure I can do it in 3 days.

      Good Luck Everyone!!

      Suz

      • Suz, will you let us know how doable this is? I don’t want to start now because it’ll bump up against all the challenges I have queued to do when the new constellation starts. It would be nice to know if I can feasibly wait until then and do these in three days or if should be doing some of the ones I have queued.

        Thanks! 😊

        With Pogo Sconnie’s comment on the Forum I wonder if Pogo will actually reverse their decision and just let us do them in the order we want. I’m hoping so. ☺️

        • I am just starting #12 and I’ve been working on this for about 5 or 6 hours. If I don’t get finished today I will have it done by noon tomorrow. You should be able to do this in 3 days without a problem.

          I did cheat on the QA Badge, used 20 clones and was done in 2 games…it would have been 1 game but I miscounted the tiles I removed before using the clones…lol

          I read what Sconnie said, but don’t think they could do that at this point.

          Good Luck!!

          Suz

          • Thanks, Suz, that’s good to know. We still have approximately a week before the new constellation, that’s waiting around for a long time. I may have to at least start this event and get a some of them done even if it causes a few of my queued challenges to finish. I’ll see what tomorrow brings. 😊

          • I finished it a few minutes ago. It will take about 16 hours of straight playing to complete the 18 badges, depending on how well you play some of the games, and how lucky you are. The only power ups I used were the clones in Quinn’s. I figure that saved me 3 hours minimum.

            Good Luck!

            Suz

          • Congratulations! I decided to forge ahead and get at least some done, I’m done through #7 and will now do #8 QA. So far I’ve only had one crossover with my queued challenges, Sanctuary, so no big deal. I do have a Word Whomp queued but may just continue on, I’d only be trading one 300 Pogo badge for another. Then I’ll make another decision. 😊

          • Thanks much Moms for the cloning advice in QA. I’m still on first leg, had given up ages ago with only 28 wins. Now I have 2 more. Yeah! And I was able to get 36 of the 120 flowers needed. More later. That was all I could stomach. Maybe I’ll even try to match it with one of my gazillion MnM badges that I’ve refused to do. However, I’m betting money that I won’t go any further on my S/O’s account. He just won’t get as many pogi’s! Do have a question – can I match a few flowers before cloning them? Thanks much from a QA hater!!!! Don’t think I’ll ever be converted to a lover of that game, but maybe I’ll be able to struggle thru a few badges.

          • Yes, you can match a pair first, but remember there are only 4 flower tiles in a regular game, and 8 flower tiles in a challenge game. You need to make sure that you don’t match all early if you wish to use the clone power up.

            Suz

          • Thank you! Thank you! I dislike QA and never would have wasted my time trying without your hint. I was able to play through to the last QA before stopping.

  5. A new low for pogo. Not only can just one at a time be activated, but they HAVE TO BE DONE IN ORDER. This sucks big time as far as I’m concerned! Two snowbirds and two quinns–both games that I dislike.

    • This is so unfair! I will only get to do two challenges and then I’m our. I don’t know how to play Spades, so game is over for me on number 3.

      • Don’t give up so quickly, there are some easy tutorials if you search Youtube. They don’t really go into depth on how the bidding works, but if you play here on Pogo it’s relatively simple. Once the cards are dealt, look at each suit and bid according to how many A’s and Kings you have, as well as A, King and Queen of spades. Beware, though, of counting a King or Queen as a trick if you don’t have any lower cards in that suit… 9 times out of 10 someone on the other team has the ace and you’ll lose the trick… but, you may be able to make it up if you have several low spades and you can figure out that you won’t steal a trick from your partner. If you are playing against bots (which is the only way I play), watch how they play their cards and do the same… play your A’s first (all but the spades… save them for later in the game!), then your Kings, then Queens. When someone else plays a high card, play your lowest unless you know you can take the trick. When spades are played, always try to play your lowest cards first unless you know you can take the trick. One other strategy to note… if can tell your partner is going to win the hand, throw away a low card of another suit, don’t trump them with a spade. Remember, you’re working as a team to get as many tricks as your team bid.

      • Irene, give spades a chance. I’ve always avoided the game, but decided to give it a try. If you read through the directions it is explained pretty well, and it only took me three hands (about 5 minutes) to get the badge. Good luck!

      • Honestly I do not know how to correctly play Spades but I do it well enough for any weekly or dailies but never buy a badge in it. I set it up so it suggest things, only play against bots and was good enough to get me through. Give it a shot you maybe surprised. Good luck to you!!

  6. I may sound like a broken record, but yet again with all the many games to choose from they continue having repeat games. And of course they have to be Snowbird and Quinn’s. 🙁 But then again they are free so I suppose should not complain, but then again I am. 🙂

    • yes I agree I cannot play Quinns & snowbird I hate but can play it. So I spend hrs with snowbird cause I stink at it & Quinns I never play no matter what challenge it is in & also they have challenges back to back they never give it a rest, I am not even done with one and it is starting another, Too many challenges if you ask me.

  7. Really wish these could have started for the new constellation. Well at least the last two will

    Donna

    • Hi Beverly, spin and make the matches that pay out. It’s best to get the bonus games, but sometimes that just doesn’t happen. I suggest maximum betting, for bigger wins.

      Good luck!

    • You play the game, and betting max is good- Should also collect your free coins right away and collect every day

    • The coins come from winning spins. Pack a lunch – this slot is tight and doesn’t award many tokens even for what they call a “big win”.

        • Suz how do you bet 90 a spin, I click on Maximum and it is only 60 or do I need to reach a higher (rank/level). When we have to win a lot of coins I sure would be 90 if able to.

          Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

          Pat

          • It has nothing to do with rank. It’s all based on the Quest Cards. There are 16 at this time, and once you complete #12 you can bet 90 per spin.

            There was a qlitch early in the game and some members didn’t get credit for completing Quest Card #2. Those members can only bet 60 per spin.

            Good Luck!

            Suz

        • I can only do 60 coins per spin, but I did finally use power ups for the bonus games and finished in 3 hours.

    • Play like normal…I think what they’re trying to say is that the free coins we get daily don’t count to the badge. Typical Pogo proofreading!

    • Hello the way you win coins in POGO SLOTS you complete ten spins. The number you see after that say for example 123 that is the number of coins you win. Start the game and hit spin. Coins won is the final number after 10 spins. Hope this was helpful.

    • Just go back every day and collect, I do it every day and night and get free coins and make them add up,

  9. Ok. After I left the comment felt kinda bad. As said they are free and Do want to say Happy Anniversary Pogo. Really do enjoy your site as is a good place to come to spent extra time and games are enjoyable. Happy Anniversary. 🙂

  10. Am I right in thinking that we have to do them 1 to 18 in that order? Seems a bit ruff when it finishes just after the new constellation starts, we can’t use many of them towards next months constellation. Of course we can spend 3 days just doing them.
    Robyn

    • That’s what I’m doing. When the first 2 were done in just a couple of minutes, I am not playing any more until the next constellation. I’m retired and I can do a lot of badges in 3 days. I’m already 4000 Pogis over what you needed at the end.

  15. I enjoy playing pogo, but I do not like the fact that it has to be done in order. Pogo telling us how to play is just not cool. I will not be doing this one. I just got used to QA (sort of) if it wasn’t for me getting free power ups to play it, I wouldn’t. I am not even through the first tank yet. So many games that they come out have converted, yet snowbird and quinn’s are in the mix!!!! I am skipping it. Good luck to the rest who are tackling it

  16. I think I came up with the answer to my question since posting earlier…. the coin cards. But 8000 is a heck of a lot! I see this as possibly the most time consuming challenge of them all.

    • Not really. If you hit the free spin or picker bonus, you can rack up quite a few coins quickly. I breezed through that challenge easily, and am now slogging through QA so I can continue.

      Pad

  17. Very interesting how Pogo has ignored every one of us who have expressed how we feel about not being able to activate more than one badge at at time. They upped the ante and chose which ones we can play when! I wonder what Pogo has next to discourage us?!

    I do like that they have a Word Whomp badge in the collection, though.

    Try to have fun, everyone! 🙂

  18. I agree with my disappointment of having to slog through 2 Quinns, ugh. The flower tiles will be made easier with clone powerups, but still….

    I also protest that they need to be done in sequence, but they warned us about that (like that makes a difference).

    I appreciate the free badges, and happy birthday to you Pogo! I’ve been a member since 2000, and it is a nice milestone. I however don’t appreciate the setup of this event.

    Good luck everyone!

  19. Apparently I am a weirdo because I am really enjoying this. Started with my mom in 2000. Probably my last season with Pogo. I stopped at QA for now.

    • Hello from another weirdo…I love this challenge! Even played spades for the first time to keep progressing. Started after dinner and I’m up to bingo already. Looking forward to the rest of the challenges. 🙂

  20. I forgot to add…. 18 challenges? I’m not being greedy, I would pay for 4 more… shouldn’t there be some sort of flow to make the 22 years stand out? That is the nerd in me, but I find it weird.

  21. 6700 pogis! Thankyou Pogo, I will gratefully accept them whichever way you choose to give them! These will get me through the silver tiers & I will save the rest for the next constellation.

  22. Quinn’s… and in order. I’ll start this on the next constellation and do them up until the first Quinn badge. Also the same games as well. Snowbirds… Quinn’s … mahjong sanctuary… pogo daily sudoku… pogo slots (like this one so not a big deal but still used a lot)… sweet tooth town.
    It makes the site feel like we have 6 games to play when they do this for challenges.

    I let them know in the survey and they obviously didn’t read any responses.

  24. Before I waste one of my precious freebie powerups (I’m so cheap the missus swears I squeak), can anyone please tell me if you can clone shell tiles in QA? Thanks.

    • No, you can’t clone the shells.

      But I did use 20 clones and got the flower badge in 2 games…would have been 1 game but I miscounted what I removed before using the clones…lol

      Suz

  25. Just saying I wonder if POGO thought about the players do not play JG. They will not be able to participate in this challenge sounds a bit unfair to me.

    • With everyone having different tastes, some won’t like games others like and so forth, it’s always been this way, not unfair by any means and this is only going gin 1 time…I actually got the badge in 1 game

      • I, for one, appreciated babygirl24’s comment. I don’t play Jungle Gin because I don’t know how to play it. It’s not that I “don’t like” it. There’s a major difference between not knowing how and not liking. I do think it’s unfair that I can’t participate.

        ~Cindy

        • But you and others who don’t know how to play *can* participate, there are tutorials out there on how to play gin and any other game =)

    • I also got the JG badge in one hand (for my S/O). Guess I was lucky on his account. Cause I had to play 7 or 8 hands before I won one hand for myself!

      • The Jungle Gin badge is earned a lot easier if you make sure to go into your table options and select ‘no knocking’… it forces each hand to play out until someone goes gin.

  26. Any free badges and Pogi’s , no matter how Pogo does it are great as far as I’m concerned because I am one of those people who DONT buy gems. This new system is so much better than filling out surveys. The latest challenge is meant to last over 11 days so accept you won’t get it all done in a day , no matter the games. I am happy with this challenge and think all of you should be too.

  27. Happy Anniversary Pogo no 22…. the event is different and have to them i order which is new for us..
    another change …. i use the Mahjong San badge for this event for the help weekly.. the challenge do not look too bad… more free badges.

  28. Question:
    Does anyone know how many points you can earn playing Garden on Easy?
    I went back through the MG badges to see if I could find one that had “points” as the criteria so I could look up the BH discussion about it, but I couldn’t find any. (except for a few that were originally “tokens’ but they changed it to “points” when they re-released them after tokens had gone)

    I really hate the game or I’d go play a game myself instead of asking 🙂

    • I play this one all the time. Depending if you match the seasons identically and the flowers the same way, your score will reflect that. Also, how quickly you finish the puzzle counts. I typically get 700-800 pts. for each puzzle. Hope this helps.

      Pad

      • Thanks everybody – All that good information does help me I appreciate all of you taking the time to respond. 🙂 Have fun!

  29. Holy Schmoley, Pogo, another monkey wrench in the works! While I don’t like that we can’t do more than one challenge at a time during the marathons, somehow this is even worse. I’m surmising Pogo thought it would be “fun” to start with a very easy challenge and get incrementally harder with each new challenge, although to me #18 is easier than some of the preceding ones.

    I’m debating what to do. I have approximately a dozen MnMs queued up to do when the new constellation comes out, and many are in the same games here, ie; Jungle Gin, Sanctuary, Spades etc. When I first saw this event I thought I’d just start doing the games I don’t have queued up and then finish up after the new constellation. This part of the equation is all on me, it was my decision to get these dozen games ready so I can finish them on 9/3. Now I’ll have to decide whether to get started on this event or wait. I can’t blame Pogo for that which is my decision but I do think this is just a very bad decision on Pogo’s part. Why try to corral us into just being able to do one challenge at a time and then tell us which order to do them in? Why? Makes no sense to me.

  30. Well this certainly stinks. I don’t play Jungle Gin, so I can’t even start this marathon! That is so unfair I don’t have the words. At least on the other ones you can at least choose which badges to do, now I won’t be able to get any! And I like QA, SS, Mahjong Sanctuary and all the other games people seem to dislike. What a crappy way to celebrate, and from reading what others have already posted on this topic, I know I’m not alone. Pogo really seems determined to take the fun out of everything.

    ~Cindy

  31. Will pass on this one as I still don’t know how to play Jungle Gin and with all the same color deals in FCS and WCS don’t want to play those either

  32. I will only do up to badge # 7.
    I refuse to do QA.
    I agree with everyone about not being able to choose.

  33. The only problem I have is this you do the first one after u r done and than it activates the second one and so on I do not know how to play jungle gin ugh but the others look good

    • Thank you for the link, daxmomma. I just posted my two cents worth there. LOL

      I mentioned the displeasure of only being able to open the games one game at a time, and the displeasure for the Anniversary Celebration of only playing the games in the order Pogo chose for us.

      But I, also, said this:

      Not only that but then Pogo includes very time consuming games like Sweet Toot Town, 2 Monopoly Sudoku Games, Mahjong Safari, Mahjong Garden, and 2 Snowbird Solitaire Games and 2 Quinn’s Aquarium Games!!

      Happy Anniversary Pogo!!! But something has to give. All the games in these Events are doable, sure, but I don’t like being tied to the computer to play them with the time constraints involved. Sorry Pogo, but running these Events concurrently was not a smart move.

  35. Well it looks like my adventure ends. As much as I dislike QA I thought I would try for 120 flower tiles but only getting 4 for the first game it would take 30 games to get it so I am ending now. Besides I am way over the gold status so I decided not to add any more pogis except what I have to and these games I don’t have to.

    • If you use the clone power up it makes it go much faster, I used a bunch on a challenge round as well

  36. Yuck, now it’s not just ‘can’t activate more than one’, it’s ‘you can only play this challenge in the order we tell you’. Meh. I will still do it, but I don’t like the format. At least they could have made the badges more creative instead of all the same if they took the choice away.

  37. Since this is an “event” I am hoping to double activate with M&Ms from my stockpile for those challenges that I am saving until next week. My secondary account will finish silver with just dailies, so saving the last 4 for there too.

  38. This is the most ridiculous and unfair event Pogo has ever held. This is not a good way to celebrate an anniversary and the comments I see posted here from many of you echo that sentiment.I don’t play quinn;s; I’ll probably do what I can though I don’t plan on spending too much time doing this.
    I’ll also watch how far I go as I am close to finishing silver level and have no shot of getting gold. Good luck to all who are doing this event.

  39. Updating my spreadsheet, I noticed that next Wednesday’s weekly is exactly the same requirement as this event’s #14.

  40. Pogo’s idea of a Happy Celebration is not same as mine.
    I liked more the Old Pogo anniversary celebrations when we had special edition badges and tons of sales on badges and badge albums, maybe free nice challenges (not badges with numbers over and over again) added to our collections to do whenever we wanted, maybe marathons too? but fun ones!
    It was really a Celebration for us the loyal members and not a money maker party for them (don’t be fooled by the “free” thing, they get tons of money from us out of their so called “free” badges)
    This is just another challenge event, even harder than usual and why the game repeats?

    Anyway, enough complaints. I’ll be doing the first 3 challenges only , I’m tired of Snowbird Solitare, I don’t like the game, hate that we can’t pick a level to play. And I refuse to play all the challenges in order just to please them.

  41. It’s not the badges I mind, it’s the timing! I’m way past Gold on the constellation. So, I’m just doing these for what reason? The badges?

    I could wait as some of you have said but I don’t think I can do them all in 3 days! That leaves me wondering how fast I should go on these, how far I should go I mean. I’d much rather save them for the next constellation. Maybe I’ll just save several of them and do what I can in the 3 days of the new constellation.

    And I like QA, so that won’t bother me. I’m sick of SS, but I’ve done that one already. Unless there is another one!

    • Pogo is keeping track of the pogis I am winning after I got the gold so I assumed they were going to the next constellation. I guess I didn’t think about what they say about assume.

      • Prior to the first constellation in March 2020 we were told, and it was one of the first things in the FAQ. Pogis has never carried over from one constellation to the next.

    • Hi Captiva, I’m in the same place you are. Right now I decided that I will play up to #9 and start #10 (Sweet Tooth Town) and the remaining challenges when the new constellation starts. I may change my mind. I also like QA and SS doesn’t bother me especially if I click on the right layout.

      Good luck!

  42. Query, I have a M&M FCS waiting to finish so can I do it at the same time as the Anniversary event?

  43. I have no chance to finish the gold level so did the first 7 badges and 9be 9% of Quinn’s so I can completely it quickly after the new constellation opens. I will do all the other 10 badges beginning on the 3rd when the new constellation opens.

    I have a Quinn’s question. I have never been able to figure out how to use the clone powerup correctly. The few times I tried, I only got a couple. Somebody please give me step by step directions of what to click first, etc.
    I have been able to finish all the levels without ever buying powerups. If you are persistent and keep trying they finally give you one that is doable.

    • Each clone gives you an additional 6 of whatever tile you clone. You click on the clone, then the tile that you wish to clone. You can use as many clone power ups in a game as you want to, but you need to have that many tiles left in the game. And if you don’t win the game you lose all the power ups, so make sure you can win before you start using them.

      Good Luck!

      Suz

    • Hi Kay . So here’s how I use the clone power-up”
      1) As soon as I see a flower tile I click on the clone power-up and then click on the flower tile.
      That tile gets cloned and the clones spread out replacing other tiles on the board. (some buried)
      2) I jot down the name of the flower tile I cloned.
      3) Then I just repeat the process as soon as I see the first of the other 3 flower tiles. That way I know for sure I cloned all 4 of them.
      4) Suz (Moms) gave me a great hint by telling me we can also clone a clone tile.
      Beware: Don’t wait until the end of the round because if you don’t have many tiles left it doesn’t pay to use the clone – if there are not enough tiles left for the clones to replace it’s a waste.

      • If you don’t have any left to clone it will not use your power up. It happened to me yesterday when I miscounted what I removed before cloning the rest of the tiles.

        Suz

    • For the clone… click on the clone PU then click on the flower or whatever you want to clone. It will give you 6 clones of that flower. You keep cloning for as many flowers as you need. For this Quinn’s game you need 120. The game itself will already have 4 so you basically need to click on the clone PU 20 times to do the game in one game.

  44. Made it through the first 7, now at Quinn’s so guess I am out this event, I so dislike QA and never do any challenges since I can never win at the game. 🙁

  45. Thank you for the tip to use the clone PU on Quinn’s. I had a ton of them I never used… so it only took me 2 games to win. I would have won in one game, but I miss counted and needed 8 more flowers. Thank the Lord that game is done. Great tip!

  46. My strategy for this event is to complete the first 12 challenges (which I’ve done). And now working on getting #13 to 21/22 and waiting for the next constellation. That’s still 3700 pogis for the next constellation. All of the challenges after #13 seem relatively quick except for QA.

  47. Thanks so much to everyone who replied about cloning. I only have one of them so I guess I will use it near the end. I have managed to get 72/120 so far by playing with no powerups. Too bad I had already completed the new levels that were released on the 10th or I could have done them together and accomplished something rather than just repeating old levels over and over.

    Thanks again everybody.

  49. I don’t know why you would set this event up like this…there are some games people don’t play. I do not play Mahjong Sanctuary and Quinn’s Aquarium so the only game I can get I Jungle Gin…unfair. I am always into these events and bundles and I don’t get to do this event because there are a couple of games I don’t play.

  50. I already reached Gold so wanted to save these but know for myself I can not do 18 in 3 days I can not sit long enough with my MS and pain. SO I so far did the first 6 will work on the slots then do Quinns so I only have 1 game left when new constellation starts. I am also going to set up World Class so I have only one game to play to finish one city just to speed it up a little.
    I have about 14 badges waiting until the 3rd. I am not even doing the weeklies right now so I can use them later as personal since I rarely have any to play for those.

    Good luck to everyone! Have a blessed day, stay safe, healthy & happy!

  51. I have just finished the 18 badges. I had already finished the Pogi Constellation but went ahead and did these badges anyhow, I need to finish a lot of M & M albums for the next Constellation. I wish I had seen that cloning tip before I finished that QA badge but now I know. Thank you Pogo for 18 free badges, 1000’s of Pogis and fun
    fun and more fun!

  52. I am starting 17. If I can ever finish this, I will be home free since I know I can do Tri-Peaks! I don’t have much hope in accomplishing that since I hate QA and will not spend money on power ups! Thanks Pogo for such a ridiculous challenge!

  53. I finished all 18! Except for QA, I enjoyed the challenges. For QA, I just kept restarting games in Tropical Tank until I won. Took a while – but it worked!

  54. I am stuck on # 11 challenge Pogo Daily Sudoku. I’m having trouble loading the game on any of my four browsers. If it does load I can start the puzzle and then it says “trouble loading” or I have to restart or it loads funny and I can’t play because the game acts funny with the timer going wonky and numbers won’t go onto the board. I’m giving up for the day and hope it goes better tomorrow.

    • Pogo Daily Sudoku is a stealthy slow loader. When you first go in, be sure you wait until the Pogo characters show up around the puzzle difficulty list before you start a game, otherwise you’ll get overlays of the calendar and puzzle and be unable to play. It’s usually only a matter of a few seconds wait. I hope this helps you.

      • This helps if the puzzle loads, but this morning I get “having trouble loading” and won’t go any farther even when I reload the page. Thanks for your advice.

        • I know it’s a standard answer, but did you try clearing your cache? Your system may have got stuck in the loading process and hiccupped at the wrong time that probably got you in your forever loading situation.

  55. I completed three of the badges before deciding to wait until the new constellation.
    I have the time to spend and get them.

    My question is that since it is an event, will the undone badges disappear?

  56. I know I can’t finish them all in a day anymore. I am doing some
    saving some. My pogis is finished has been for awhile. I caught
    up on my undone M n M albums this time.
    I DO NOT thank Pogo for these bs badges. This is supposed to be
    their b’day celebration and all I got was a bucketful of awful badges!
    What happened to all the stuff they used to give us???? There are very
    few I enjoyed. Guess nice if ya need more pogis etc. If you like some of
    them. But I do miss lots of what was. I’d much rather have a gem deal get
    more bang for my $$’s. Now not even buying any so ticked at them. We used
    to get a free HOG. Used to is the norm anymore I guess. Too much work but
    yeah doing them blahhhhhh. Feel bad for those still stuck in the 1st tank in QA and
    still stuck in snowbird. They can’t move forward.

    • Hi afriend – What happened to all the stuff they used to give us???? is exactly what I’ve been asking myself.
      I’m also going to do some of these. I did 1-3 and I’m planning on doing 4-11 once the new constellation starts. I think that will be about it for me.
      I’m still working on decreasing the number of same-game badges throughout my M&Ms and am slowly getting a bunch of them ready for that too. Trying to keep the fun in it, but…..

  57. Hello I had no trouble completing the Birthday Celebration. No loading problems, all 18 badges completed. And I am using Windows 07 and Chrome 55+. Wish all of you luck in finishing this BORING CHALLENGE.

    • Probably b/c the people that set the badges don’t play the games and have no idea how easy or hard a challenge is.

      Case in point is #16 for Bejeweled Stars. The badge can be completed in less than 10 minutes using level 2.

      Suz

  60. Why must I play Quinn? Play 3 solid days and only have 44 of the required 120. And then there’s another. I’m not a quitter, must this must be my waterloo. 🙂

    • I had accumulated 15 or so clone power-ups and used them all to clone the flower tiles for this challenge. By doing this I was able to complete the challenge in fewer than 10 games. If you have any clone power-ups, now is the time to use them. Good luck!

  61. 11 days for that is ridiculous especially that we cant do more than one at a time. Thanks but no thanks.

  62. Just thinking out loud… I really hate Snowbird Solitaire, especially when you have to have cards left in your pile.

    Ok, I’m better now…

  63. I didn’t need the Pogis, but I knew I couldn’t do all these in 3 days. I have 5 left, and I’m saving them. They look fairly easy, and I’m pretty sure I can do those 5 in 3 days. I’ve gone way over on the Pogis, but it can’t be helped. I’m glad I bought up some badges to do on the next constellation

  64. I have 11 done but I am leaving the rest for 9/3. The only problem with WCS is even if it says complete 5 cities those 5 cities could turn into many games with anywhere from 1 to 5 games per city. That could turn into a very long badge to complete so I might not even get beyond this one and with SS right behind it the whole thing might just be a lost clause.

    • I was lucky enough to be able to play 5 games in a row that only needed two stars to arrive at the next city… It only took me about an hour to win the badge…

  65. I’m so excited, I finished the challenge just a few minutes ago!!! I’m amazed that even the dreaded Quinn’s Aquarium and Snowbird Solitare weren’t all that bad…

    All in all, I’d rate the challenge a solid “good”…

  66. I have never gotten special badges. There is always QA or SS and I struggle with both. Mostly QA as I am still on the first tank. I just recently tried again and again…etc and still no wins. Would be nice to get one for a change. Ok, just venting.

  67. I dislike doing games in sequence. I want my own control of being Game Master & selecting which game to play. Probably going to pass on this challenge.

    Pogo, I’m getting extremely disenchanted. 🙁

    • I agree with you. I dislike this as well especially since I don’t play spades so cannot do the rest of the challenges.

  68. I deliberately waited until today to start challenge 10 and progress until 18. I started early, took some breaks, and now I’m at Quinns (that’s like a dessert for me because I enjoy Quinns!) and then I have Tri-Peaks and I’m finished. Didn’t take me long at all.

    Good luck all,
    Dee

    • I just started this Event on my 2nd account this morning, after doing all my daily chores, and doing all 4 of the GOTM Badges on both of my accounts. I had GOTM #1 sitting at 19/20 on both. I’m working on #7 now, Pogo Slots, so not bad for a couple of hours. I knew I could get it done in 3 days b/c I did all of them on my main account in 2 days.

      And I got lucky and Pogo put the QA power ups on sale, so will get all 120 flowers in 1 game 🙂

      Good Luck!!

      Suz

      • That’s great Suz! I didn’t start GOTM yet so I will start that tomorrow. Either I’ll finish challenge #17 and #18 tonight or tomorrow morning depending on how many times I get interrupted.

        Yes, I saw that QA was having a sale on power-ups and I was getting low on clones so I bought some of those. I didn’t use many clones for the flowers because I wanted to progress in The Courtyard which I did.

        Going to play cards with my Mom now (kind of like a 2nd account). Always gaming one way or another, lol!

        Good luck to you! Dee
