Pogo.com

Pogo began as a few games that employees created and played at Total Entertainment Network. Realizing that they could load ads in the games, TEN began offering games online in 1998.

In 2001, Electronic Arts acquired Pogo from TEN for $40 million.

In 2003, the company created “Club Pogo”, a subscription-based game service with perks to subscribers including exclusive members-only rooms, no ad interruptions, graphic emoticons (smileys) (discontinued), private chat, “Pogo Minis”, AKA Avitars, and more.

History

Pogo games are a bit different than other online games in that users aren’t just playing a game solo, but rather they are playing inside a virtual room that allows other players to enter the room, compete, and chat while playing.

In December 2022, Pogo and Hasbro are collaborating to create RISK: Pogo Domination for both browsers and mobile devices.

Pogo currently offers more than 50 casual games from makers like Pop Cap and Hasbro. All games are free with ads or users can sign up for subscriptions.
