Poppit! is a kind of icon for Pogo and may well be its most played and popular game. It is very addictive and perhaps this is why it is so popular or maybe it's because popping balloons is theraputic in some way. Whatever the reason, if you have ambitions of scoring highly and appearing on the high score list, blindly popping just for the pleasure of seeing the balloons disappear is not going to do it. Here are some tips to help the more ambitious Poppit! player achieve their goals.
Firstly, a brief description of what you are facing. In the beginning you have a screen full of Poppit! balloons, 150 in all in 15 columns of 10. Held within 1 balloon in each column is a 'prize' and to win you need to release all 15 prizes. Even if several balloons are left over, it still counts as a win if all the prizes have been released. Balloons get left over because you can only pop two or more of the same color when they are adjacent.
On easy level, even with no strategy at all, you will win the odd game and gain a jackpot spin. At this point, a glance at the Poppit! high score list will show you that your score is extremely low compared to some in the same Poppit! room over the last hour. Often the whole list is filled with just 1 or 2 names. Did these people just get lucky over and over or is there some trick, some tips or hints to playing Poppit! The answer is yes. Those players have Poppit! game secrets, and few of them are prepared to share them around. Many won't even give the odd tip or hint to you if you ask. Never fear! You have come to the right place to learn all you need to know to clear Poppit! screens on a regular basis.
Poppit! is available as a free online game to non-members and members alike and is also available as a downloadable PC game on which the same winning game tips we give you here apply equally well.

Winning Strategies and Tips for Poppit! on Pogo Games |
Pick A Color |
This is your first and most important tip. When you start-up a Poppit! game there are often very obviously fewer balloons of one particular color. Target this color first with the aim of grouping these balloons together to remove them. If you do this successfully there will be one less color in the overall mix and this drastically reduces the complexity of the task in hand. With one color gone, you will be amazed how relatively easy the game becomes. |
The Starting Screen |
If you don't like the layout of balloons on the initial screen, eg. there is no single color that has obviously fewer ballons, or power-up prizes (marked by stars) are absent, then just hit NEW GAME and until you find a favorable starting position. As you gain in confidence and profficiency you'll find you are doing this less and less. |
Undo |
Once close to a successful completion, if you feel you the position has become bad, use the UNDO option to take you back to a point where you were feeling confident. You incur no penalty for this and very often you will quickly see a better way to proceed. |
Practice Clearing The Screen |
How do you do that? Well, the Pogo game of Pop Fu is based on the same principles as Poppit! but on a much smaller scale. More often than not, the aim of each round in Pop Fu is to clear the screen and if you fail you get the chance to keep trying over and again. This will teach you tips and strategies to clear away balloons that also work in the larger scale game. It really is an invaluable tool that can make all the difference between a clear screen and a finish with 2 or 3 different colored balloons remaining from the same position. |
Poppit! Strings |
Although easily done, it is never a good idea to leave one long string of balloons on the extreme left or right of the screen. If you allow this scenario to unfold chances are you've gone astray and wont win this time. try to leave adjacent collums of roughly the same length or you will not be able to pair up the lower balloons in order to pop them. |
The Poppit! Show |
The Poppit! Show is a free game for download to your PC. It is easier than the online Pogo Poppit! game simply because there are less balloons to clear from the start. Its a good way to practice and build confidence in your abilities. |
Beware Bad Poppit! Advice! |
Last but not least! There are lots of theories when it comes to winning Poppit! but be prepared to question every one. EG. Some people say that you can't use UNDO once all the prizes have gone. There may be some Poppit! variants out there where this is the case, but it doesn't apply on Pogo! Always check hints and tips out for yourself and keep an open mind - not all advice is necessarily good advice! If you are doubting our tips though, see the screen shot of a winning game on this page! Happy Popping! |
