    Hello! Sorry to hear about your loading issues in Merge Academy, I understand how frustrating that can be. I double checked the game on my end and it did load and play as designed. However - there have been a lot of updates on the site lately, when we see this at any time the first thing is immediately:

    Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: This should be done every day if not every other day on a browser-based gaming site. Going a step further and deep cleaning your device never hurts either.

    Why cache clearing helps with browser games:

    • Your browser is still using old, stored files from previous visits
    • Pogo's servers are sending new, updated information
    • These don't match up, causing loading conflicts

     

    Browser Updates: Most major browsers update every 4-6 weeks sometimes on their own, at other times it is waiting for our approval. It's always a good idea to check to see if ours needs updating - These updates can change how browsers handle website code and features. I am a windows user, and our devices here have gone through 3 updates this week, ugh. 

    Power Cycling: Unplug your router, let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then plug it back in (easy). Doing this once a week or even biweekly can make a noticeable difference. Many of us leave our routers running 24/7, giving them a break helps refresh the connection.

    🖥️ The combo effect - When you power cycle AND clear your browser cache together, you're giving yourself the cleanest possible environment for browser gaming - fresh device memory, cleared browser data, and reset network connections!

    Please give these troubleshooting steps a try and let us know how it goes!

  • Hello, I'm also having a problem with Merge Academy. For the last week it just will not load. I only get a white screen. Up until now I haven't had any problems. I've tried every solution 3 times over and nothing works. Even tried 3 different browsers, 3 different platforms, ie: computer, laptop, phone, etc. Nothing works. My laptop is brand new so no problem with memory or anything else. I'm not a newbie to computers so I'm just beside myself with this issue. I just don't know what else to do! So frustrating with all the challenges going on right now that include this game. I'll never get to complete the GOM as it is let alone all the others. I have the feeling it's a corrupt file but how to get rid of it and load the game fresh? Clearing cookies, cache, history, etc. doesn't help. I've done it all. What now? Thanks for any help and please don't repeat the previous check list...been there; done that. Thx again.

    I have cleared my browser history and browser cache and it still hasn't fixed the issue. I've restarted my computer multiple times and the issue still persists. Please assist with this issue. Thank you.

    Hello! Thank you sharing your device details and attempting troubleshooting measures. Are you enduring the same "white screen" as the poster or is this about something else?
