Autumn Arts Merit Badge Event begins today and goes through December 11. In this event there will be three weeks of challenges with a reward of the animated Super Scout Badge:
Super Scout Badge
Quoted from Pogo (see notes below):
- Four special Challenges unlock every week during the event: three free Mix-n-Match Challenge and an optional Premium Mix-n-Match Challenge.
- To progress each week, you must complete either the three free Challenges, or the optional Premium Challenge. If you want to complete all four, go for it!
- Completing the necessary Challenges for the week earns you a Merit Badge for the Autumn Arts Merit Badge Event! If you collect both Merit Badges during the event, you’ll earn the animated Super Scout Badge.
- If you fall behind, you can go back and complete previous weeks. Just make sure all Merit Badges have been earned by 11:59pm on December 11!
Note: Pogo’s post says the 3 free badges each week are Mix-n-Match, but do not appear in the Mix-n-Match Albums. As soon as the challenge is completed the Badge goes into the Special Edition Album. The only Mix-n-Match Badge is the alternate Premium one for 40 gems.
Although Pogo states you can earn the animated Super Scout Badge by collecting “both” Merit Badges during the event, this is not true. There are THREE merit badges, one for each week, that must be collected in order to earn the animated Super Scout Badge.

Evelyn says
And a Happy Thanksgiving to you too Sharon (and family)!
slabook says
Thank you!
Sandra Margaret Graves-Massey says
tks … finally got it moving lol
cortnum says
One of Wednesday’s challenges is Mahjong Sanctuary so you might want to wait on this one till then.
moosette776 says
60 games of SS ugh! And the 2nd week Trizzle match 3000 yellow dolls. For the 3rd week, Yahtzee in 1’s. Make sure you’re collecting the coins every day for Slots and Yahtzee. Everything else looks decent. Majhong Sanctuary just match flower tiles and hit new game.
Moe1497 says
It’s not so bad. I’m already on 40/60. I think the Yahtzees with just 1’s will be way worse.
sturgalve says
I completely agree; I did the MM badge with the same requirements and it was a bear. It makes no sense that pogo put this challenge in week 3, with more time it wouldn’t be so bad. The only suggestion I have is that if you’ve racked up a good amount of coins, use them to buy a wild when you have four of a kind. Good luck!
Wishing e1 a very happy & healthy Thanksgiving, to you and your families.🦃🍗🌽🥧🍽️🍾
Oh, and happy birthday to me! I was born on Thanksgiving Day and it falls on turkey day this year as well.😊 🦃 Silvija
MysteriousMoods says
I hope you have a very Happy Birthday this year and good luck with the challenges
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone
Sandra Margaret Graves-Massey says
get ALL the blue balloons 65 times? too hard
Susan says
I thought so too BUT I keep getting a “help” to get rid of any color so I pick blue and voila, there they go! Making progress a lot faster than I expected for this one (in general I think they all rather ridiculously difficult this time).
Paige says
The color erase is not working for me. I use an iPad. And yes, I know how to use the power ups!
All other power ups work but not the color erase.
Hels says
And you don’t have to finish playing the game, you can hit ‘new game’ as soon as you get rid of all the blue balloons and still receive credit.
Bafflingbarnacles says
Yes very time consuming. Will cherry pick and probably only do the bingo and slot badges. (Poppit party is a maybe. Depends on time available)
Linda K. says
I am not pursuing this event! I do not like the requirements to earn each badge. Nor do I like Game selections on this event. Happy Thanksgiving to all & wishing all of you luck as you go for the challenges!
Evelyn says
Just a reminder, on MS and collecting 140 flower tiles… you do not have to win the game to get credit for the flower tiles. On in and replay levels 4 and 5 just until you collect the tiles and go back to sanctuary and start. Good luck!
shelnick9293 says
That is what I did. I did level 4 and the fact that you get 4 flower matches for each game plus not having to do the whole game didn’t take any time at all.
Linda Foulds says
Hi….have to tried level 5 for the flowers?? Small set up…and the flowers are right there. I’m going to try level 4….just to see….. Happy Thanksgiving to All….
Ampehl says
Mahjong San went fast played level 4 over , just did season tiles new game.
The last week has Yahtzee so until then I will build up coins for wild dice to get 10 Yahtzee w/1s also you can collect daily coins & the amount increases daily.
It can pair up with the challenge you could purchase for same requirements but 600 pogis but 20 gems.
Meanwhile I will do poppit party trying to do 10 a day so 6 days it’ll be done. The eraser power up works well for this one.
Good luck!
minty358 says
Wow some of these are very time consuming with high requirements…
Carla says
Indeed Minty, Not something to really look forward to with the busy holidays or trying to relax!
FADEDWILDROSE says
If you have family visiting for the holiday (carrying their own devices of course), they can sign into your account and play the same game at the same time that you are — twice as fast progress!
KarePackage says
Nice of you to mention that Rose! My friend and I do this quite a bit. But if we are playing Pogo, who is going to cook the bird? 🙂 I guess the men will head to the kitchen to cook after they excuse us!
caross5623 says
i have decided that neither pogis or a badge make these challenges worth it. I play pogo for fun and when it becomes a long boring slog, it is no longer fun,
Sonja says
Whew, I finished Snowbird this morning. I like the game. 🙂 I was going to save MS for Wednesday, but the requirements are not compatible when you can crank out the badge quickly on level 4. PP is a different story. Not wasting my time on costumes that don’t give color changes so waiting for cleaning is annoying. Tiki Brother and Cool Cat clean in an hour so keeping track when to play those two again..
Costumes to use:
Collection One: Ball Player, Disco Dancer, King. Nestor, Robot. Other Costumes with enough powers up work okay.
Collection Two: Doctor, Rainbow Unicorn, Ringmaster, Smarty Pants, Superhero.
GL!
Michele M says
I’m going to do these challenges like eating an elephant, One bite at a time! Fortunately, (or unfortunately) I do not have any gatherings with extended family/friends planned. I don’t have any children to spend time with, so, Pogo it is! I’ll play a little at each challenge and see how far I can get.
craftylady123 says
I also feel this way, caross5623, especially with the holidays coming up. I’ve been a Pogo member for 20+ years and used to enjoy most of the games and challenges, however the enjoyment has been less each year for several years now. If I attempted these long challenges there would be no time left for other things in my life, so I am gradually playing less and less. Too bad, Pogo used to be fun but now, without all the good tips generously shared here, I would skip a lot of them. Thank you everyone for all the help.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
kay says
After you clear all the blue on Poppit Party, can you immediately exit the game or do you have to finish it?
Verobunzer says
Wow! I’m having so much fun with Poppit Party! I really miss playing this game! I’m thankful for a “slog” on this because I get to get my head in the game and work on the goals & costumes while working on getting all the blues in each game. MS is too easy, so I’m saving that for last this week. SS, I am just playing random on Beach. Most games are doable, even the higher numbered ones. And I have all week. Good luck everyone and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Kathy says
I finished the Snowbird and Mahjong Sanctuary badge. The Poppitt Pary will about half way thru/ i finished both sets of costumes so i checked tomorrow what i get done… it may take this weekend to wrap the badge . i have to wait and see…gl Happy Black Friday
Kathy says
I finished Poppitt Party badge .. it takes awhile because you wait for the costumes to clean
and got it done.. gl
