Redeem your 
Challenges are about to get a lot more rewarding! Starting Thursday, March 12, you’ll be able to win Pogis for completing Daily, Weekly and Premium Challenges on Pogo. What are Pogis? They’re special points you earn that unlock bonus rewards like Badges, power-ups and avatars.
Pogis go hand in hand with new Constellations. Think of Constellations as limited-time maps, and earning Pogis is how you progress through them. As you reach milestones on the Constellation, you’ll unlock rewards. You can even complete a Constellation multiple times, playing through Bronze, Silver and Gold reward levels.
There’s a lot to unpack, so let’s get some answers straight from the horse’s mouth. In this case, the horse happens to be the winged Pogisus, intrepid ambassador of all things Pogi.
Pogo Llama: Welcome to our extra special guest! Can you tell us who you are and what you do on Pogo?
Pogisus: Pleased to meet you! I am called Pogisus, your faithful Pogi ambassador! You’ll find me flying around the great Constellations glowing in the sky. Other times you’ll find me eating carrots… magical carrots, specifically.
Pogo Llama: A flying horse? Of course! So what exactly are Pogis?
Pogisus: It’s a brand-new way to make all your victories add up! Pogis are kind of like extra points you win for completing Challenges. So not only do you get the normal rewards for completing Challenges, you’ll also earn Pogis!
Pogo Llama: How does this new system work? How will I earn Pogis?
Pogisus: Accumulating Pogis should come naturally to most Pogo players. New Challenges will award Pogis, including Daily Challenges, Weekly Challenges and Mix-n-Match Challenges. Some Challenges will reward more Pogis than others.
Pogo Llama: What are Constellations?
Pogisus: I was hoping you would notice my “Ask Me About Constellations” button! Quite simply, Constellations are where you turn your Pogis into rewards. Each Constellation gives you a limited amount of time to fill in all the stars and win Badges, power-ups and more. The first Constellation will light the skies over Pogo for 60 days. All Constellations will have three different levels — Bronze, Silver and Gold — with 15 tiers of rewards.
One thing to keep in mind: Once a Constellation has ended, your Pogi count resets. Constellations are a bit like sporting seasons — each one a chance to start fresh and win all over again!
Pogo Llama: How will I know how many Pogis a Challenge is worth?
Pogisus: The Challenge description will let you know how many Pogi points to expect. Once Pogis are out in the wild, all new Daily, Weekly and Premium Challenges will reward them! Some older ones will award them too. To be sure, look at the back of each Challenge tile you’re considering activating.
Pogo Llama: What do Pogis look like?
Pogisus: Like golden stars that shimmer and shine!
Pogo Llama: Where can I find my Pogi count?
Pogisus: Fear not, for your Pogi count will be displayed across the Pogo site! Most notably, you’ll see your current Pogi count in the site header, next to your Pogo Gems.
Pogo Llama: Where can I show off my Pogi status?
Pogisus: You will have a lovely frame around your avatar that shows off your level in the current Constellation, from Bronze to Silver to Gold. While you can choose your avatar, you cannot choose your frame. Those must be earned by completing the Constellation.
Pogo Llama: How can I check my Pogi status for each Constellation?
Pogisus: Each Constellation will have an illuminating map so you can plan your next move and fly boldly to glory.
Pogo Llama: What do I get for earning Pogis?
Pogisus: A medley of rewards await the victors, including power-ups, boosters, Badges and avatars!
Pogo Llama: Where will I receive my reward?
Pogisus: You’ll receive a notification when you’ve collected enough Pogis to earn a reward. Your rewards will be delivered automatically!
Pogo Llama: How many Pogis do I need to reach each tier?
Pogisus: This will depend on the Constellation. Each will be a little different, so make sure to read all the details before you start your conquest of the stars.
Pogo Llama: Will players be able to earn more Pogis by redoing Challenges or do they only earn them the first time?
Pogisus: Only once! The first time you complete a Challenge, you earn Pogis. You will not be able to re-activate a Challenge to earn additional Pogis.
Pogo Llama: You mentioned not all Challenges are the same when it comes to rewarding Pogis?
Pogisus: That’s correct. Harder Challenges will generally earn you more Pogis.
Pogo Llama: How will the rewards for completing Constellations work?
Pogisus: They are predetermined, so once you earn the required Pogis and complete a Constellation, you’ll win the Bronze level rewards. You can continue earning more Pogis to reach the Silver and Gold levels and win even more rewards.
Pogo Llama: What will happen to my tokens?
Pogisus: Your final token count will be immortalized and enshrined forever in your profile. And, as a special bonus, we will be awarding players extra bonus Challenges based on their token counts. The more tokens, the more Challenges. These Challenges will offer a high number of Pogis as rewards, letting you light up the Constellations faster. You can even save them for a later Constellation if you want.
Pogo Llama: Can Pogis be saved to earn a higher prize?
Pogisus: Pogis accumulate when there is an active Constellation. You don’t spend them and your count just goes up and up! You earn rewards as you reach certain Pogi milestones. You can think of the Constellation as a visual map. The more Pogis you earn, the further you travel on the map!
But, as I mentioned before, your Pogi count resets with each new Constellation.
Pogo Llama: Thanks so much for your time! It’s not often I get to interview a flying horse.
Pogisus: There aren’t many of us, so I’m not surprised. But happy to stop by! I can’t wait to see everyone start earning Pogis on March 12. Good luck to all!
We do want to acknowledge the amazingly high token counts many of you achieved. Anyone with an active Club Pogo account on March 9 will be eligible for the free Booster Challenges, which will be given out starting March 12. The number of Challenges awarded will be based on token counts.
As mentioned by our flying friend, these special Challenges will be packed with plenty of Pogi points to help you light the skies faster. Use them whenever you want. As new Constellations will arrive every couple months, you can even save them for later.

i really wish i could join but my points never change they always stay at 1,9000
it never changes now 8 months could you please help me get my points back i paid 49 dollars and they took all my points and gems i really need help
this all sounds very complicating, but as we continue to play, I think it will get easier to understand. I HOPE!!!!!!!!
This whole Pogisus and Pogo Llama seem extremely childish. Is this what we have to expect from Pogo going forward?
Hi Geesebmps,
Thank you for your feedback. I do like to think of myself as both an old soul and a child at heart. It isn’t easy but I do try.
I hope you’ve given Pogis a try by now. Please let me know your thoughts.
do not the new pogo at all sorry
I want to earn tokens..I have worked on getting tokens for 15 years now..No more tokens then I think this is the last I will renew Pogo. We love talking to friends and working on getting tokens..I feel bad. You Pogo are going to lose a lot of people..I do not think you have been listening to what the people want..Thank You Rose
how do we get into this new thing?
What happens to our current Pogo Points?
Hello!
Thank you so much for your question about tokens.
As stated in a May 2018 Pogo Insider, tokens will be removed from Pogo games in the future. I’d like to let you all know that the number of tokens you’ve earned during your time at Pogo will still be visible on Early Access; this feature is now available in your Classic Library. The ability to earn more tokens will be ongoing after launching Pogis. We will be slowly limiting the ways to earn more tokens so we can concentrate on the Pogi experience and it’s rewards.
Additionally, we just launched a new reward system called Pogis. Please click here for more information on that.
Please keep an eye on the Pogo Insider and Blog page for all of the most up to date information on all things Pogo. Thank you!
I’D RATHER HAVE A RESOLUTION TO BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE PLAYING CANASTA IN TOURNAMENTS WITH MY LEAGUE FRIENDS AND HAVING A PLACE TO CHAT WITH THEM THAN POGIS….SERIOUSLY. ARE WE PLAYING CHILDREN’S GAMES HERE OR ADULT GAMES. I THINK EA SHOULD SPEND MORE TIME WORKING ON KEEPING CURRENT GAMES THAN SPENDING TIME ON SUCH CHILDISH VENTURES. DO YOU THINK WE PAY 40 DOLLARS FOR A MEMBERSHIP FOR CUTSIE THINGS. I DON’T WANT BADGES OR CHALLENGES OR POGIS!!! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO PLAY CANASTA AND INTERACT WITH MY FRIENDS!!!
will we still have mini’s to dress up loved it . Miss Pinocle too. hope hope you can find a way of bringing it back. Thank you
Hello,
I have great news for you as Minis are a part of Early Access. Minis are still fully available on the classic site. Please click here to learn more about Classic Library and how you can use your Mini as an Avatar on Early Access. Thank you!
nice idea can’t wait.
All I can say is you Really messed POGO up by all the changes. ALL THE NEW GAMES YOU PUT ON HERE REALLY SUCK. I also have been watching the amount of people playing and you already lost a bundle of players.Why did you change things when you had a gold mine in pogo ? I really do not like the new format that takes up the whole computer. When my subscription is due I will not renew. Sorry but you really messed up.
Thank you Pogo Llama and Pogisus for all this information. I can’t wait to get started on Mar. 12th. I have been playing some games on Early Access and now will start playing more of them so that I will be ready! I am now definitely excited about Early Access. Good luck to us all!!!!!!!! arsob (Ann)
Hope you’re having a great time with Pogis!
you mention avatars i sure hope they are better then what you got now and humans not animals or childish stuff .
well people like not cartoon of games
Please KEEP Pogo Bowl as i’m a bowling host
looking forward to meeting Pogis
I’m not staying don’t like what this game site has become.
why cant I get the star ship monopoly mystery piece, I pay all my money , play your pogo exclusively .
Why do you insist on changing everything, when every one likes the old games ,as there were…
unclejoe380 .
Are Pogo gems still going to be available and will subscribers still get extra free gems on renewal? Any changes to the subscription?
THIS SUCKS . WE HAVE BEEN MEMBERS FOR ALONG TIME . YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE A LOT OF MEMBERS
AND I DO NOT FAULT THEM FOR WHAT WE PAY FOR MEMBERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN WITH POGO SINCE IT STARTED.. THAT IS A LONG TIME AND I LIKE POGO BUT I DO LIKE WHAT YOU ARE DOING
From what I have seen so far, I will likely be cancelling my membership with POGO. Most all of the games that I like to play are being discontinued. I have been a member for over 10 years but I just don’t like what is being done and cannot justify paying a membership fee for something that just doesn’t work for me anymore. Time to move on.
Not sure , its not explained,im a visual person so we will see thank you Pogo
I’m looking forward to earning Pogis. One question though, “Challenges are about to get a lot more rewarding! Starting Thursday, March 12, you’ll be able to win Pogis for completing Daily, Weekly and Premium Challenges on Pogo…”. I thought premium challenges were being discontinued?
Thanks!
Hi Joan,
Premium Badge Albums have been retired, but not Premium Challenges. Thank you!
did my pogo expire????????????????????????????
ARE WE LOSING OUR MINI/MINI ITEMS? ARE WE GETTING PLAYER PROFILES AS WE HAVE NOW? IT IS NICE TO KNOW WHO WE ARE PLAYING AGAINST/WITH. THE NEW HD GAMES ARE VERY IMPERSONAL WITH JUST A NAME AND NOTHING ELSE
DIOPLY2
Sorry I am not thrilled about this … I liked the old way of so much earned for each badge earned and special ones; I have been with Pogo for a very long time and wanted to stay with the old format, but have been playing with the new to try to get used to it. Not happy that my large total of points did Not get transferred over to the new format page. This above is just too complicated and I think the early access is proving you are making it more complicated to play games I like and increasing my total earned to date — All this change might become ok, but for the games that have problems or won’t load or have glitches that don’t seem to be fixed or remain such as the latest problem I had with Mahjong Garden loading to 85% and stopping there. I haven’t check if it’s fixed today. There is one thing I would suggest — is there consideration that we can have an option to select ONLY the badges that have not been earned and not have to weed through them all and what is with the stupid “days left” and what we buy the badge and then if we can’t get it played for any reason it is gone???? just my thoughts on Pogo changes ,… wish we could just forget them and go back to the old format and the FUN of creating our avatars; I loved being able to be creative and have my avatar reflect the season and other cool ideas – hate the new stupid ones.
Seriously you do realize that you are designing a game site for adults don’t you? Flying horses, avatars, pogis could not sound much more childish. NOT interested in avatars, players I have talked to just liked their mini’s and adult games. Games like Story Quest, Bookworm etc. are very child like and yet you get rid of the games that we enjoyed, maybe you should put more time into changing games to hd instead of making new ones, new ones could come later. Adults here get that Java is going away but that did not mean that you had to totally reinvent the site. Since EA has taken over thousands of members have left, game rooms use to be so full that we had to use back doors to get into rooms, now with many of the changes you will probably lose many more. I have talked to many players each day in group chat that are so unhappy with many of the changes and have said they have complained and after they get a response which is many times a form message that they can’t respond to your answer. We all get that change is hard but it is especially so when you change everything and do not listen to complaints. It did not have to be so unsatisfactory to so many.
Dear Pogo Llama:
Thank you for the information.
Are you speaking to mostly children?
Most of whom would not be reading this information at all?
I’d like to receive the information, but would prefer it be delivered straight forward, you know… without ‘magical carrots.’
The information we are SLOWLY getting… to those of us who’ve lost favorite games in June of 2019 – our patience is wearing thin.
The ‘New Pogo’ is highly disappointing. So far, the minis have not been instated in the new format. Game Lobbies are gone… feels like you’re playing in a padded room without windows, no interaction between multiple players. Defeats the purpose of online gaming. Solitary confinement can be had without a game site. I have not talked with one member who likes it – at all. Many of my friends have already left. Still more hanging on by threads… and probably will not be renewing. Unless something ‘magical’ happens – like the restoration of game favorites, like BATTLE PHLINX & POOL… fun team games – you will be missing 14+ year veterans.
Please inform of WHAT is going on & WHEN our games, our Pogo we’ve all loved for many years, will be restored. With todays technology – the timing on this ‘New Pogo’ has been awful. Stop putting that ‘magical carrot’ in front of us with empty promises and make something happen.
pogo is great thank you for all the games you have so I can play then I been a member of club pogo since 2008 and plan to be with club pogo for years to come
Pogisus: “As a special bonus, we will be awarding players extra bonus Challenges based on their token counts”
I do not feel extra bonus challenges should be awarded based on Token counts. Many players with hundreds of millions and even billions of tokens did NOT earn them honestly. This is extremely unfair to players that did earn their tokens through honest game play and also by purchasing premium badges.
THE BONUS CHALLENGES SHOULD BE BASED ON LENGTH OF CLUB POGO MEMBERSHIP AS OF MARCH 9, 2020 NOT TOKEN COUNTS!
Am honestly getting really really tired of all your changes. Truly hope minis stay, spent alot of money on my mini in 16yrs. Plus game rewards outfits!!!!
I have been with POGO since 2002, and I truly loved it. I was able to keep in touch with all my friends, chat route them on if we were playing the same game. Love all the games that you are now deleting. It was easy to keep up wit my gems, my points, could go shopping for new attire for my page, also could send mail to my friends. It was so easy and conveninent. This new pogo is a true mess, so many of my friends feel the same. Looks like a big coloring book, looks more for middle school age children. It is not self explanatory, now you have all these silly names and the unicorn. It is really corny. I am truly sadden and I feel like you will be losing a lot of your users that has been with you for years
Please make Bejeweled Twist an HD game in the new early access.
So, retired and disabled people who have more time on their hands are going to have the easiest time reaching these time-critical rewards and those of us who work a lot of hours and so cant work within these time constraints are, once again, at a serious disadvantage? Niicccceee..
What this must be for CHILDREN, like all the other games
Pogo has gotten very busy with a lot of new things that are not all easy to follow. I don’t want to leave Pogo but I may have to if I can’t follow all the new items happening here. I don’t mind new and improved but this is over the top to me.
Thank you for letting me vent.
Is this your way of taking away tokens?

if you can do all this then the tokens system could have been saved. much easier and more wanted by the customers/players. why didn’t you just give the players/members what we wanted instead of this crap
would rather have tokens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM SURE GLAD YOU THINK THIS SOUNDS GOOD , I DON’T AND I KNOW A BUNCH THAT FEEL THE SAME . I WILL GIVE IT A TRY, BUT ALL OF US CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO POGO. IT IS NO LONGER POGO. SO SAD
Not interested in this trash…. will drop pogo at the end of this years subscription… leave pogo a lone and the system of earning tokens
POGO IS MESSING UP MANY THINGS HERE….YOUR REMOVING SPOTS FOR PLAYERS TO CHAT WHILE PLAYING..THIS IS NOT MAKING MEMBERS VERY HAPPY..WE LOVE TO PLAY AND CHAT ….AND THE NEW GAMES ARE FREEZING UP AND THEY ARE WAY TO LARGE. PLEASE LISTEN TO US…I HAVE BEEN WITH YOU FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND IF THINGS DO NOT GET BETTER I WILL NOT BE RENEWING MY MEMBERSHIP..I STAY IN CONTACT WITH MY FRIENDS OUT OF STATE IN THE CHAT AREA AND THIS IS UPSETTING LOTS OF PLAYERS ALONG WITH TAKING OUR FAVORITE GAMES AWAY
