Pogo has announced we’ll be saying farewell to five games:
– From France With Love
– Postcards From Britain
– Grub Crawl
– Royal Wedding
– Vanishing Trail
They will be retired on September 26th. If you have any unfinished challenges in these games, now is time to complete them!
Are you sad that these games are being retired?

I’m very disappointed for any HOG game to go away! I should have known, tho, as there hasn’t been any challenges or activity for these for quite some time. However, there are three other HOG games with the same scenario that aren’t being retired as of yet. There is no way I can complete my open scenes and badges within two weeks…impossible!!! Happy hunting!!! Have a GR8 day!!!

At least the claire hart ones are staying. The royal wedding one year later must have been referring to harry and meghan because it came out around the same time.. I guess they werent money makers for pogo. It will be interesting to see what other non gem buying games they’ll will get rid of..
Dino says
Twelve episodes were released on Valentine’s Day, 2023. I can’t say I am sad to see them go, but SecretBuilders has decided to pull them, so here we are.
I was going through my Game Badge Album to make sure I had them all finished, and noticed one badge greyed out – turns out I had completed the actual HOG chapters but had not done the Find the Differences one, which happened to be at the end. The game itself showed the Episode complete, but I probably saw something shiny walked away and thought I had the badge. So, I guess this is a cautionary tale: check your Game Badge Albums for the episode completions.
Good luck everyone in completing the M&M’s for these. Most of them are long and boring, IMO. But a badge is a badge is a badge.
Alma says
Sad to see these HOG go. Too bad pogo wouldn’t do the same to Garden Blast & Risk. I am so sick of Garden Blast showing up all the time to the point where I want to stop being a member. As for Risk…that game is just beyond my ken. More of a man’s game.
Sharon says
I like Garden Blast!
Sue says
I so agree with you!

Sue says
Maybe I should say I agree with Alma lol
Brocklion says
bought them all when they were on discount. 124 total episodes, 53 undone, 13 days, must do 4+ each day, did 6 today.
I was disappointed that vanishing had so many misidentified animals
Brocklion says
making great progress on these, I should easily finish these on time easily. I looked into the other three games, yowza, 85 episodes yet to do..
Auntie KK says
Just saying that in the past when POGO discontinues a game if you bought the M&Ms for the games and didn’t get them completed they where “credited” as being completed. POGO may do that with these games and probably with the paid for episodes.

I enjoyed ALL these HOGs so I am greatly saddened. I remember seeing the ‘note ‘that said they would retire in September. I think I have done the M&M badges but I would have like to buy some more episode or whatever they are called on sale.
I am rather weary of Claire but she is familiar! And I feel sort of my friend lol. Pogo any chance of something new? And not the one we have left!!!
Good luck to all!!!
Eva Perovich says
I agree with Sprit – I loved all the HOG games. But I now have less of a reason to spend so much time on POGO and that is their loss.
Annie says
I wish that Pogo could lift the maximum Personal Badges per week for now, so we could knock out several before the games disappear. Drats!
Linda says
I’m very sad the games are leaving. Not a big surprise though. Pogo has changed so much since I started so long ago. I still play all the time and probably will in the future.
Just Me says
Since those five Hidden Object Games are leaving, It would be nice if Pogo let us do them for free, if we so desired.
Moe1497 says
Wasn’t this announced months ago??
Stella says
So do we have until 11:59pm on Sept 25th to finish or 11:59 on Sept 26th? Wish Pogo would be more specific.
