I think they went too far overboard with HOGs a few years back.

Mayhem · May 13, 2023, 12:23:43 AM

Yeah, they sure did. With that said, they are planning to bring back Clue later this year though.

Here's my thinking on the ongoing sale for the soon-to-be defunct games.

This sale is a now rare chance to get challenges for 50% off
There are some pogi-filled challenges listed
While the sale runs through 5/24/23, you have until the fall to use the challenges as that is when the games are leaving Pogo
I don't know if it applies here, but in the past, when games left Pogo and you had unfinished MnM challenges in those games, the badges were automatically awarded
I do not know if unfinished challenges will have pogis automatically awarded when the game leaves Pogo
I do not know if unfinished Wednesday challenges will be automatically awarded at the end but it seems likely that they will. We don't like holes in our badge albums
My advice is to see what challenges you have outstanding in all these exiting games and get them done before the autumn
You might want to give this moment some constellation thought as to whether you'd like those pogis to go to this constellation or the next

Other thoughts?

I think you pretty much covered everything. I'll just add that even though Pogo has automatically awarded badges in the past, I wouldn't assume it will happen this time around. I would try and finish the challenges before the games are retired.

Definitely!

Just to say my piece, i will miss a few of these games. There are just to many Majhong games @ Solitaire games too.

Mayhem · May 16, 2023, 12:27:01 AM

Agreed, they need to be trimmed up as well.

Squid · May 16, 2023, 03:45:12 AM

May I make a suggestion on where to begin the trimming for Mahjong games? Please?

Pogo just mentioned that those 5 hidden object games will be removed on September 30th.

You have until then to complete any challenges that involve these games.

Squid · August 24, 2023, 03:38:18 AM

I believe I'm done with challenges but I'll verify. Thanks

Mayhem · August 25, 2023, 12:13:19 AM

Pogo still may give us credit for what we don't finish. They have done that in the past, but I personally wouldn't chance it.

Mayhem · September 13, 2023, 12:03:42 AM

Pogo has changed the removal date, and these games will be removed on September 26th (instead of the 30th).

Hi Everyone,

We are sad to announce that we will be saying goodbye to five beloved games: From France With Love, Postcards From Britain, Grub Crawl, Royal Wedding, and Vanishing Trail. These games have been a part of our community for a long time and we understand their importance to you.

The changes will take place on September 26th, so please complete any challenges related to these games before then.

Thank you for supporting these games and stay tuned for new and exciting updates!

If Sconnie hadn't sent out that message, would we have known about the date change?

Mayhem · September 14, 2023, 12:18:11 AM

Probably not - unless Pogo makes another announcement as the date nears.

Mayhem · September 27, 2023, 08:05:26 AM

Sconnie mentioned this morning that :

In the coming weeks, any player who purchased episodes in these 5 games will be awarded the episode completion badges. That's right, your dedication and hard work won't go unnoticed. So, keep an eye out for those shiny badges heading your way.

Squid · September 27, 2023, 11:50:24 AM

Only a couple more days to get those MnMs done, too. Don't let those pogis go to waste. You might get the badges if you don't do them but I don't know about the pogis. Not worth the risk
