Well guess what Google Pay is doing for the Year of the Tiger: Huat Pals and BB Loh are back for 2022!

Here is the best guide on how to play the game in the easiest manner, earn more Huat Pals, and get a BB Loh (or two) for an ang pow of up to $88.88!

As someone who got a whopping seven BB Lohs last year, I think I know a thing or two on how to play this game, so read on to learn some pointers on how to get your very own BB Loh BaoBao. Last year’s Huat Pals Chat is reopened for business so you can do your trading there, and who knows, I might have extra BB Loh BaoBao to give away like I did last year. Stay tuned for Huat Pals giveaways and updates!

Objective of the game

Like last year, the objective is to collect all Huat Pals, and this year there are six, although Tiggy isn’t collectible and you start with him.

The most elusive character is yet again BB Loh, and he/she is the winning piece. The rare piece is BaoBao! Mala is the next best one to get for he brings a basket, and baskets increase the number of Pals you’ll get (see Basket Guide below). Everyone else is just fodder for you to gift to other people to get more Pals in return until you get your BaoBao.

The key to this game is get more Huat Pals because every time you get a bonus pal, you get a small chance of getting BaoBAo. I repeat: the key to the game is to constantly get more Huat Pals until one of them is finally BaoBao. Read on to find out how to increase the number of Huat Pals you earn.

Easy Ways to Earn Pals

To earn more Pals, you will need to complete several daily tasks up to a limit of 5 per day:

1. Pay businesses, order food, movie tickets, and more (min. $5)
2. Complete a referral
3. Gift Pals to friends

Bonus tasks:

• Make 5 FavePay transactions (min $5) and get 1 bonus Pal
• Make 5 PayNow QR/UEN transactions and get 1 bonus Pal

Tasks 1 and 3 are the most realistic tasks to accomplish. Good luck trying to refer people to Google Pay for Task 2 now that almost everyone has an account.

The FavePay bonus task is simply too arduous to complete for a miserly 1 pal. There are better ways to earn rewards on using FavePay, so I don’t think it’s a good task to complete.

The 5 PayNow transactions bonus is a great combination with Task 1. Sadly, it does not reset daily and is a one-off reward.

Gifting Pals guide

Gifting pals is the easiest task to accomplish each day for 5 bonus pals. You can easily do so by gifting them to friends, or just dumping your gift links into my Huat Pals Chat for someone to claim.

This is really very simple, so there’s nothing much to it.

Paying businesses guide

There is currently an easy way to meet 5 transactions to get a total of 5 bonus Pals, and that is to top up your Dash account 5 times! Remember to spend $3 on Dash (you can pay at Fave merchants!) and you can easily withdraw the rest. Don’t have Dash? Sign up now:

Download the Dash app and use referral code DASH-OZ9G2. Spend at least $3 to get $3 cashback! Further sign up for Dash PET and get more cashback and up to 1.5% returns on your savings.

Dash QR has stopped working for many! Here is an ongoing list of things you can pay to clock this category, and we discuss more in the Telegram group:

• GE insurance
• AXS PayNow transactions
• Syfe top up
• CPF top up
• Top up ShopeePay
• Top up YouTrip

Basket strategy

After completing Tasks 1 and 2, you will get a total of 10 per day, and that’s your grind until you finally luck out and get a BB Loh. To further increase your chances, you need to trade baskets with people. When you have a basket, find 4 other people who also have baskets, and each of you would share the baskets in a group. This way, everyone would get 5 Pals in total.

Everyone starts with one basket this time round, and you should link up with friends, or find people in my Basket Trading group to trade baskets. Do note that there were basket thieves last year who would leech other people’s baskets without reciprocating. It’s best to stick with a group once trust has been built up because there are people who would actually lie just to get a few extra virtual characters. Speechless.

So was this how I got my 7 BB Loh?

Was grinding the daily tasks and trading baskets all I did to get my seven BB Loh last year? Well, I did get a couple from that, and you would probably do the same too. BaoBao for this year, that is.

Seven, on the other hand, needs a bit more work, and I elaborated on it in my YouTube video.

Summary

To summarise:

• Do Task 1 five times a day
• Do Task 3 five times a day (use Huat Pals Chat group)
• Trade baskets when you get them (use Basket Trading group)
• Cross your fingers and hope you luck out

With a random chance of getting up to $88.88, this game may not be entirely worth the time… but then again, what’s a game if it doesn’t kill time? Good luck and do let me know when you get your BaoBao!
