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.

Good afternoon Pogo,
Do you now think that we are waiting for all those innovations. Well no.
Why doesn’t Pogo stay like we have been used to for years?
With all the renovations you forget one thing. Players from the first hour have now become 15 to 20 years older. They are not waiting for this. Please let us play our game. And earn some tokens here and there.
We have enough of that.
Kind regards and a nice Weekend
How much more 2 year oldish can you make Pogo? It’s absolutely ridiculous how animated everything has to be like we’re all little children playing children games. I hate the whole new set up, everything about it.
Everything we’ve all worked so hard for over the years is being taken away and cartoon stars are now the new thing? People like me have spent a lot of money to earn the points and the badges that we have and we won’t even be able to display them anymore. How can anyone think that this is ok because I sure don’t.
Sounds interesting !
Dear Pogo Llama and Pogisus
The new Pogis sound promising, if a bit confusing! Looking forward to earning Pogis!!
Adorable idea!
are my minis staying? i love my mini and mini mall. without them i am no longer interested in this new pogi stuff
what about our minis, can we keep the ones we have and all the gem items i have bought over the years? because thats a fair thing to do
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!
Your Pogis is awful. Who wants to play one of your games and receive a Pogis? I like the points much better or GEMS you can use. Most of the good games you have taken away. Your new set up is hard to understand. The background light-up is great. I do like a few of your new games, but at the end of the game they give points, which go no where! And you receive gems that go no where. The new Pogo is like all Mahjong, games, game for kids, and search games and the awful cupcake game. Why not give Gems that you can use in almost every game. But I know you want us to buy more gems. That the whole reason for taking away the points. On Jungle Gin you took away the option of just playing gin (play until someone wins, with a full set of matching cards. Now it’s only knock. Is the friends list coming back?
Our tokens have always been a right of passage, a status symbol. Those players who have reached very high numbers of tokens are revered as ballers. When you see high numbers you know that player has been around a long time and is a serious and respected player. Players immediately view how many tokens you have achieved because they have been proudly displayed next to your screen name. Some players feel as though they are being striped of their ranks. It is like all that time and dedication was for nothing.
Hi I’m on level 431 in Mahjong Sanctuary and it will not move at all. Can you help?
Makes me wonder if the developers think we are twelve, with the sparkling cartoons. shaking my head. Such a disappointment that so many people are leaving, the social aspect is diminishing. Would be interesting to learn the thinking process behind all these changes. Really a flying horse. Must be some good drugs.
I have a new song that reminds me of the changes taking place pogo:
Always and Forever by Luther Vandross:
Always and Forever
Each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true, yeah
And I know tomorrow
Will never be the same
‘Cause we got a life of love
That is about to change and
Everyday I loved you in my own special way
Melting my heart away with chats
EA take time to tell me you really care
And we’ll share tomorrow together
Ooh, classic pogo, I’ll always love you forever
Ever, ever, ever
There’ll always be sunshine
When I play each day
It’s something I can’t explain
Just the things that you do
When you get lonely
Chat with me and take
A second to give me
That magic you make and
Everyday love me your own special way
Melt my heart away with our chats
EA take time to tell me you really care
And we’ll share tomorrow together
Classic pogo we’ll love you forever
Ooh…
The new reward system is complicated, something that a middle schooler might appreciate and the 60 day time limit just won’t work for me. Return the token system that was much simpler to achieve and keep track of. Return all of the badges that are in our premium albums that were purchased at great expense or at least give us the badges in them and not in black and white either.
I understand the changes were necessary, however, what we already achieved after playing for over 10 years just isn’t being credited to the new site in a way that is fair and equitable.
Thanks and blessings.
Hey Pogo Team,
GBU all 2.
Wonderful news. So happy that we will be “rewarded” for our “hard work” of earning our tokens over the years, for me 16 yrs. Looking “forward” to see what this “new reward’s” system” will entail while playing. Keep doing a wonderful job on Pogo as we “advance” in the new Pogo in the coming future.
GBU and yours.
I can’t play jungle gin it want load
SOUNDS AWESOME
I play trivia everyday and you are taking it away along with my tokens so thnking about quitting pogo you alos took away all the fun poker games don’t like the changes so will be searching for new game network am very disappointed in the take over and changes
looking forward to more exciting fun!
I like the older better.
Love the name Pogisus and the Constellation theme! Love stars and astronomy!! ✨ Totally excited for Pogis!!!
Thank you, Slvrcofe21! Hope you’re having a great time!
I am worried that me as a senior citizen and been on the old pogo for years and knows how to move around and find games will have problems with the new pogo. I even have problems with the new and latest cell phones so this really has me worried and I hope that I will be able to catch on before my renewal date is here.
We’re here for you, Ksmoke14. Let me know what your questions are.
This all sounds very confusing to me. I can’t wait to see it LIVE, maybe once it is all in play, it will all make more sense.
Pogo is NOT listening to its players. You try to shove new ideas down our throats and we are NOT children. We see what you are doing and DISLIKE it ALL!!! You only print NICE comments in every FORUM, BLOG, NEW PLAYER EXTRAORDINAIRE…you NEVER want to hear the TRUTH. WE DONT LIKE WHAT POGO IS DOING! SO SHOVE your POGIS!!!
Hello MajorStryder,
Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry you feel that way.
I don`t like the new pogo either! And don`t like the new stupid pogis or how ever you spell it!!! This is my first time here… Thanks
Thanks for stopping by the blog comments for your first time, Badgeen01.
How are you feeling about Pogis now that it has been available?
Same as above my sub runs out in June and I will not renew & I bought gems every months sometimes 150 dollars sometime 39 over & over if you check you will see hoe much I have spent with y’all I was a pogo player before I decided to joining for the badges and we could play with friends I am finished when June gets here Dyemack
I totally agree with everything you said
I agree! I decided not to renew my membership next month because it has changed for the worse!
I agree i do not like it either. And some of the changes you made to existing games I like and others I dont. for example Crazy cakes. I do not like the new version of it. And it seems like way too many card games that are the same exact concept. Just not loving POGO like I used to.
Want my old pogo back. Too many fancy graphics that do nothing but slow things down. Older pogo members generally want games not a fancy light show.
I have noticed that too. My days on pogo are numbered. For many years I have enjoyed pogo now it’s all gone. They even are taking away our individuality. Our mini’s. And our tokens are worth something? How many players bought tokens? now they will be rewarded for that. I will be really surprised if this comments shows up. Many of my comments don’t. Thank you MajorStryder for your honest opinion.
I don’t like it either….I love Pogo and have friends and love to play with them and chat but as I understand there will not be much of the mess that includes chats. Please ave chats. I am also upset about losing my Mini’s,,,,it is silly by I love them and it was fun to become this little person and now they are gone. I feel the format is for children with horses and stars and silly stuff we are grown ups we love Pogo and how real it seems to us. Is it possible for you to show us what an Avitar will look like. I am soooo sad I just want my Pogo back…I love it and all about it and know how it works and can have my little Mini with me and chat with my friends please don’t take it all away most people I talk to say they are not renewing. I haven’t made up my mind yet but it doesn’t look good. Please do not make it so childish looking.
i AGREE. i WISH YOU WOULD HAVE LEFT IT THE WAY IT WAS.i AGREE SOME GAMES NEEDED TO GO BUT YOU TOOK THE FUN OF MEETING NEW FRIENDS WHILE PLAYING GAMES TOGETHER. ALL MY FRIENDS ARE SO SCATTERED NOW.
I know that change is difficult especially for those of us who have been happily playing Pogo for many years and have purchased gems to buy badges or outfits for our avatars. We were willing to put up with occasional glitches and changes that had to come due to certain programs not working anymore but you have taken some of the parts of Pogo that we all loved the most. We loved having a higher and higher token count to sort of show how many years we had played and been loyal players. We loved having cute little backgrounds and outfits we could change with the seasons or occasions in our lives. So many of the games are now going that we all loved too. It’s just too much change all at once. Basically it doesn’t feel like Pogo anymore and I don’t think I will stay around to see what you will do next to upset us all. This was supposed to be a relaxing, fun place and it has stopped feeling that way to me.
Thank you for expressing your feelings, arsongirl2002. I appreciate you being a part of Pogo.
I feel the exact same way! When I go on Pogo I want to relax and play regular games, not the childish stuff that’s coming or having to stress over creating new worlds while playing a game! I. want. to. relax. and. enjoy!!!!
Good morning,
Change is great, in order to progress you need change, that I agree with. However, taking away a lot of the games your customers enjoy is sad. I will continue playing Pogo, but will miss the old games like “Clue”, and others being removed.

Well as usual Pogo has gone above and beyond to award loyal players for their time an efforts playing on Pogo’s site. I have been a member before you could be a member. I had another name when I first started playing on pogo. I am thrilled to see that my effort and time to achieve a high token count is going to be rewarded. Thank you so much for making me feel that us OLD TIMERS are being considered for our past loyalties as POGO moves forward. THANK you for almost 20 years of fun and Im looking forward to the next 20 years
Your Loyal Player!
Thank you very much for your support, Perfection1001!
POGO USED TO BE FUN. NOW IT IS A MESS. I COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR BADGES. WHAT GOOD ARE THEY. IT WAS NICE TO COME AND PLAY GAMES AND CHAT WITH FRIENDS. THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR OLDER PEOPLE ANYMORE AND I DOUBT IF MANY KIDS PLAY HERE.
Oh wow a horse ambassador!! How cool, sort of hard to communicate with me being a human and all. I suppose tokens and all the work we’ve done to get them just didnt make good horse sense to you people. Yeah our dreams and future plans are not the same as pogo’s. YOu’ve made billions so it’s not about the money now. It seems to be about what you can do to ruin the site that has been a home to us for so long. Well at least the animal mentality goes along with your thinking. I really wonder if any of you are over the 8 yr. old mentality that you seem to be catering to. Hmm. might want to sit back and take a long hard look at yourself EA… a lot of us on here are not the stupid people you seem to think we are. When subscriptions run out you may see a large number change. So large you might have to take off your socks and use your toes to count the emptiness. Sad, really sad!!
I’m sorry you feel that way, dirtydon1111.
is there canasta
The Flash version of Canasta is still available and the new HD version of Canasta will be along soon!
hello canasta , is the best game on here ,please don’t ,take it away ,or you will lose a lot of people
The Flash version of Canasta is still available and the new HD version of Canasta will be along soon!
good luck w/the new pogo
Thank you, Brdwtchr2007!
I know you all worked hard at the new pogo, but i think the games were better before, now these pogis. I think its a little too confusing. With these new games i am always buying gems and its costly. The new solitare games are too confusing. I miss the old chat. I miss trying to win prizes. How do you even win cash anymore? I miss the old pogo agendas. The new site is not giving me the pleasure i was used too
yeah leave pofo games alone this sucks I loosely all y pogo dollars after twenty years of being on
I can see lot of people getting done not fair at allpogo can
n udate their site just like Microsoft a lot of pogo leagues are upset we were all like family in rooms im getting so I want a divorce from pogo ill play games in yahoo ill give yahs benfit of doubt if im not happy I have to june to renew my account
Not too happy with changes. More money, less games and perks. Been a customer since 2006.Seems to be a lot of unhappy players.
Quite interesting! Can’t wait to see it in action. Does that mean that we will no longer have weekly “personal” challenges as we have now? Will old mix and match badges not done yet count for pogis?
sounds like a ripoff to me i’m am seriously considering not renewing my membership. not one thing do I like about the so called new pogo how could you ruin such a good site.
Hello Sixcats7,
It is my hope that you do not cancel your Pogo membership. You’re an appreciated part of the Pogo Community and it would be a heartfelt loss to us.
I appreciate your feedback on Early Access. Thanks again for reaching out. I am here for you!
AWSOME CAINT WAIT
Pogi reset with each new constellation– do the reset to zero?
Yes, that is correct.
I can’t wait for the new pogo
I feel just like MajorStryder. Pogo was just perfect until EA took over.
I am a senior, way up there in age and have enjoyed playing Pogo games since about 2000, and I agree with MajorStryder. You have made so many changes and not for the better. And OMG you keep giving players the same daily/weekly challenges over and over. With all the games you have at least mix it up and give us some variety.
I was one of the first to comment and it was, in my opinion, very respectful. It is still “awaiting” moderation! I know your busy, but I see the comment count is now at 335 and yet my original comment is not one of them. Yet I’ve read comments that were less than respectful so I’m curious.
I can’t get any game to load for over a month
So will probably let my membership expire……………..
I am to old and do not have much computer savvy……..
Hello,
I am so sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue. Unfortunately I’m unable to troubleshoot here on the blog. Please reach out to EA Help and they will be able to assist you. Thank you!
So far I do not like the new pogo. It seems like you always have to use gems to play any further in a game, not able to advance yourself. I tried the new jungle gin and did not get the gin side. It kept saying knock and no way to get it to change. I have been a pogo player for a long time and am not happy with the new format. I guess I will have to try other game site.
Hello cntrymsc283!
For more how-to-play information about Jungle Gin HD, including step by step images, please click here for the Jungle Gin FAQ.
Power Ups are available for those who wish to use them. They are always available to those who choose but are not necessary to win any game on Pogo.
Thank you for playing!
Major Stryder is not alone in thinking that way. Games are getting much harder where we have ti buy gems just to win. I feel that we are paying more and more and getting less and less. This is my LAST year with POGO
Lets forget the GEMS and use the pogis to buy powerups on all games istead of having to buy the GEMS. But then pogo will lose money and that what it’s all about
Where are the comments for this blog showing? I can see only 1 from MajorStryder and my own that hasn’t posted yet.
EA there is still time to scrap what you’ve done to our beloved POGO and put it back to a fun, friendly, family site. What you have created isn’t fun or even nice. PLEASE, please, please listen to us. Flying horse, if I wasn’t crying over our loss of the site I’d be laughing my butt off
I’m truly sorry to see the changes that have come to Pogo. You should really change the name because it isn’t POGO anymore. I won’t renew my membership after 11 years because most of my favorite games are being dropped and those that have stayed were changed to suit the new design. I won’t yell at you or rant but I am disappointed. I think you will be surprised by how many of us you are going to lose.
Hello cbaty,
