I have tried many times to win the following badges and have not been able to do so. Are there any tips or suggestions how to do these badges?
Everyone Wins Bingo, Forest Fire, Blackout 3 cards in 1 hour or less.
Phlinx, Power Stone, Make 250 groups of 5 or more stones fall to the ground in 2 hours on expert level.
I thank you for any tips or suggestions.

Everyone wins bingo: Go to a 5-card, speedy game room. You get tons of wilds and bingos. I get at least one blackout everytime I play. 3 in an hour should be no problem.
For the Everyone Wins Bingo: Wait to activate your badge until you are close to winning with a card that could be a blackout. Sometimes those extra few minutes make all the difference in a timed badge. Save your pinecones until you get a hand that you can use them to create the blackout. Might take a few tries. I play with 3 cards and a fast room. I can do the 5 cards but it makes me crazy to keep up. I think this is one is very doable.
I don’t play Phlinx on Expert so not sure about that one. Sorry.
For Everyone Wins Bingo, Use the wilds you get only to blackout.
Don’t activate your badge right away, wait for good cards where you only need a few wilds to blackout, once you get one, activate your badge right before the game ends.
Phlinx. You DON’T need to play on exper level.
What it says about being an Expert Level Badge it’s a way to say it’s a hard badge, for expert /very good players.
So for this badge is better to play on the easiest level you can find but yes, you need to play the fastest you can.
Also you can skip the 4th round. Once you finish the third round click New game, this way you don’t lose time with the jps and the final score board, this saves you precious seconds.
It’s a tough badge but doable

Sorry for another comment but forgot to say…
Forget about game breaks, bathroom, telephone etc while doing this badge.
Play fast non stop.
Nessa is correct with the Phlinx instructions. Pat posted them on BH over a year ago and that’s how I was able to get the badge….with only 2 minutes to spare.
Moms, think I got mine with also 2 minutes spare maybe 1, I even thought “ohh nooo I didn’t make it for sure” but got it and of course I’m not an expert player, not even a good one, I was just click click click as fast as I could.
But I have to say I’m stubborn and didn’t skip the 4th round, it was like a personal mini challenge to play all 4 rounds.
For Phlinx, I will just add that you should wait to activate the badge until right before you finish the first round’s night-time sky. Every minute counts!
Thank you all for the great tips! I am going to give it a whirl.
There is a way to rig up your playing field to help with this badge. Whenever possible, place 2 balls of the same color one atop the other in a place in the field where you can easily shoot them (not buried up in the rafters). Next, shoot any 5 balls underneath them to create a cluster of 7 (the first of these 5 new balls cannot be the same color as the original 2 or you will make a cluster of 3 and they will blow up).
Once you have 7 balls stacked like this, shoot until a ball comes into your gun that is the same color as the 2 top balls in your little cluster of 7. This will blow up 3 balls and release 5 from the bottom, counting toward your total. As you experiment with this, you will find yourself getting better and better and making little clusters of 7 balls and then shooting them down.
