I been trying out the pogo stick and it seems to make my IF move a bit faster. The curiose thing is when The june update came out it took off my pogo sticks so now I have to reset them,

ANyone else try the pogo stick?

would you also agree that you move faster?

Absolutely! I noticed it made me go faster and I didn't even bother to wear the other two things (ghost & Lauren costumes) because I loved getting places faster than walking.

I also did notice that prior to the July Update I would have to add the pogo stick every day. It was a pain, however so worth going faster and getting chores done, especially when they aren't close to each other.

...i'm gonna get the pogo stick now XD Hopefully they won't come up with something like skates or wheels that cost lie 50 tickets in the future >> I only have 25 now, and I stupidly made my first high score about 1500 points, so every time I want to earn I have to keep playing higher. >> Don't these things reset?

No, they don't reset. So once you have earned all of the collectibles (gifts) on each Game Level, that's it. You can't get more collectibles from that Game Level. The only scores that they would reset are the World's High Scores. That would be based on how well people around the world play in comparision to everyone else in the world (not characters in the game, like where you see your own high scores). I think they mentioned something about resetting them once a week, but I can't remember. Regardless, they don't update them hardly at all.

I like the pogo stick! It was my first item to get in the Bee Hive Arcade. It made me move a lot faster, but when I got the Lauren costume, I liked it so much I began wearing it all the time! Now, I only use it when I have duties/favors/adventures that are far away

I like the pogo sticks but it frustates me because everyday i have to put it back on, and usually i dont do it till the end of the day. I want the skate board now...

Skateboard moves faster then Pogo Stick.

I wondered about the "increased speed" of using the skateboard, especially when I tried the gorilla costume and seemed to move even faster than the skateboard. So I timed how long it took to get from one end of the 3rd floor corridor to the other using the gorilla costume, skateboard, pogo stick (using my son's account) and then no accessory. Here are the results:
Skateboard - 12:41 seconds
Gorilla Costume - 12:41 seconds
Pogo Stick - 12:37 seconds
No accessory - 12:32 seconds
Update in italics:
Hoverboard - 12:22 seconds

I am sure if I tried multiple times and got averages all the times would be just about the same.

Sorry, but going with the results I got:
Myth Busted

Update: Not sure if CN games people have been working on BFAHP, but today when I logged on, my IF had his skateboard (I did not have to add it) and there in the house I saw my "Best Friend" and he was on his pogo stick. So maybe we won't have to select "vehicles" on a daily basis now.

^ oh yeah. you go! now i know to buy the gorilla costume unless new items come out.

In last months update, I only needed to set the pogo stick once and it stayed accross each logon. I think they may have been playing with the code and hence broke the speed boost because last time I logged in it did not seem as quick as I remember.
Thanks for the timing Vicks, but how do you accuratly measure a hundreth of a second????
