By Pogo Staff | November 1, 2010

After 11 years of popping billions upon billions of balloons, Pogo's resident cactus, Spike, took a little vacation and wants YOU to follow his global excursions!

Each weekday for two weeks, Club Pogo members will be given a clue, for a total of ten. Each clue is part of a puzzle, and if you can solve it, you'll be able to unlock a "secret code" to receive tokens!


Clue Letter #1 - I
Clue Letter #2 - W
Clue Letter #3 - L
Clue Letter #4 - V
Clue Letter #5 - N
Clue Letter #6 - I
Clue Letter #7 - R
Clue Letter #8 - E
Clue Letter #9 - S
Clue Letter #10 - A

[pogo]

I don't get what we are to do with the code... can someone help me out?

[Fulvio]

go in the news of pogodotcom hp and all will be clear...at least I hope so.

[Esra]

so first clue is 'i'

[Keith]

So far the code starts with "IW". There's 10 letters to get according to pogo and we should have the code by next Friday and the place to send it.

You could take the lazy route and I'm sure someone will have the code posted here.

Clue Letter # 3 is L

[LVGG]

# 3 ON THE SPIKE HUNT IS    P    THERE IS NO PURPLE CAR IN DICE DERBY

[eyecare1981]

They are asking for the 5th letter of the word purple or shetland. the Answer is "L"

[Keith]

Gotta pay attention to which letter they want. IWL should be what you have as the first 3 letters.

I'm not sure if this code will need to be unscrambled or if it's a random bunch of letters. A dictionary check showed no words starting with IWL or even WL.

[wickedsin4u]

I was also wondering if the word would be scrambled. I could not find a word with "iwl" in it.

Write down the letter that was the answer to each clue from Spike’s travels. Each letter is a letter in the secret code. Once all the clues are released, we’ll let you know in the Community News how your secret code will unlock a token treasure!

[Rptr777]

The 4th clue letter is "V"

[HANNELORE]

Just a thought ... maybe the letters make up a "numeric code".. Like on your phone numbers and letters? WHERE THE LETTERS  I  4, W 9. L 5. V 8. ETC.. ? I was just giving that some thought.. Not sure..  

[nanharley8068]

hey that could be right but I guess we will all have to wait until the end to see what we have to do - They want to leave us guessing  

[Kenny]

Write down the letter that was the answer to each clue from Spikes travels. Each letter is a letter in the secret code. Once all the clues are released, well let you know in the Community News how your secret code will unlock a token treasure!

This I know is a silly question but where on PA is Community News?? I really hope its not too obvious so I dont look completely ignorant.  

[Lguy1967]

Kenny, the Community News that is being referred to in the "quote" from nanharley is the Pogo Community News.  

[Rptr777]

Anybody guess what it is yet?

[Jguy1964]

For awhile I was thinking it could be "I Love Winter" but it can't be that now...

[Kenny]

Kenny, the Community News that is being referred to in the "quote" from nanharley is the Pogo Community News.  

Thanks much Lguy

[nanharley8068]

I thought it was going to say Love winter but that is not right either.

[HANNELORE]

I had another thought if its not like a numeric code my first guess..Maybe its using letters to make you say them fast to get a word The mad gab game? Example : ASKRUDEARRIVEHER is   "a sc r e w driver".. Just another guess..  
Posted on: November 11, 2010, 11:28:32 PM Maybe its an anagram? Just another thought.

[nanharley8068]

maybe "WINTER LIVES" if tomorrows lettter is an "E", guess we will have to see what tomorrows letter is.

[Rptr777]

The 10th letter is an A so the letters we got is I W L V N I R E S A hmmm im stumped anybody else got the word?

[Keith]

Come on pogo, post the next step on claiming the bonus.

There's a lot of possibilities with a phrase anagrammer.

[HANNELORE]

I have 3 guesses..1 A silver Win or 2.Win A sliver or 3. Win a silver Anyone else any Ideas? I am just guessing.

[pogo]

wvs.... airline    or wv....airline....    im trying to go with a game that might be there. ugh.

I have 3 guesses..1 A silver Win or 2.Win A sliver or 3. Win a silver Anyone else any Ideas? I am just guessing.

i think your onto something... so what game could you win sliver? is there a slot game that you can win it in? just asking.

[FLCruise7]

If it anagrams into "Silver A Win" - it could be something with Qwerty since Silver A is one of the ranks.  Just a wild thought!

[nanharley8068]

I am wondering if it could be a name of a place that Spike went on vacation. Hummmmmmmm!!!!

[Keith]

It turns out the code was just a random group of letters. It needed to be posted as it is.
