Pogo Insider – 8/12

Hello Pogoians!

As we step into August, the latter part of summer greets us with its lingering warmth and golden hues. This enchanting month invites us to savor the final chapters of summer, encouraging us to soak up the sun, enjoy the vibrant outdoors, and relish every moment with loved ones. Whether you’re spending your August days at the beach, exploring scenic trails, or unwinding in your backyard with your favorite Pogo games, we hope this month fills you with a sense of relaxation and happiness. August is a time to capture the essence of summer and create memories that will last a lifetime.

This August is extra special as we celebrate Pogo’s 25th birthday! For 25 years, Pogo has been a source of fun, entertainment, and a way to connect with friends and family through beloved games. Join us in commemorating this milestone and make your August even more memorable with Pogo later this month!

Moving forward, the team has identified the following issues and is diligently working towards investigating and resolving them:

  • Loading issues in Solitaire Home Story (blue screen)
  • 2-3 extra tiles on level 105 of Mahjong Sanctuary
  • Sewing machine in Merge Academy
  • Players missing StoryQuest badges

Lastly, we have sent out invites for our Game Changers program. We appreciate those who have already responded. If you have received an invite, please respond within the next week. Thank you!

Thank you once again to everyone for being a part of the Pogo community.

Be well,
Sconnie
