I just finished downloading as well.Had trouble finding it on my game club, but I used the link Linda provide to find it.(Thanks Linda). The first time I tried to dl, it encountered an error and said to try again. The second time it worked!! This looks like a keeper.I played for about 5 minutes and like it already. But now I must make dinner (it's 8:00pm) and the natives are getting restless.

JennyP, can you get a doctor to make that an official diagnoses?
Let's see, what would the symptoms be?

I downloaded it yesterday. It took about 30 minutes! I usually download games in about 10 minutes.
Great game though.
I child-proofed my home... but they're still getting in!

Zookeeper, is it a big game or do you need to get the new installer? MaG gave instructions in another thread. quote] Big Fish changed their download program to a new one. So if your computer still has the old download program, you will get errors. To circumvent this (and there might be an easier way): Go to 'My Account'. Then enter the same password you had before to toggle the system. Then go to 'Puchase History'. You will see all records of your purchase. Then click on anyone of your old order or new one that you cannot downlaod the old way and download the game as usual. What happens is they load a new download program and delete the old one. This clears your old file and make a new one. From then on demo or full game download is okay.
 Doreen, glad to hear it is easier to get the games now. Does it have a choice of modes? Or is it one time for all?

I tend to judge a game by whether or not I crash to the desktop after completing the one hour demo  I find the gems are much harder to locate than in Titanic. However the hourglass is about the same as the airtank was in Titanic. Even using the "hint" I had a lot of trouble locating the drumstick. So far I would have preferred they continue to let you know how far along you are in the game and I haven't noticed any map or level numbers. The timed games are fun and delightfully different. Can anyone explain to me about the gems/timing diamond that crosses the bottom of the screen please? Do you lose something if the gem overtakes the timing diamond (I have no idea what to call it)? I am not really sure about the hourglass either as it only ticks for a few seconds so I am never really sure about gaining more time. Of course I bought it right after the "crash" out of time  Linda 
So many games, so little time.

Hi Linda, The gems give you more hints if you collect them all. The hour glass gives you more time! I find if I go to a different location on the map when I'm stuck,usually I find that item right away.Or you can pause it for a few min. to give your eyes a rest and when I go back I can spot it right away.Most times it is right in front of me the whole time. Good Luck with it
I may not have gone where I intended to go,but I think I have ended up where I need to be.

Thank you Cailyn! It doesn't appear to be a timed game, so that is one reason I don't understand the hourglass. I do know the gems add hints. And when you collect all 5 gems they disappear into the hints "thing". But that bar across the bottom of the game is what really confuses me. Linda 
So many games, so little time.

The bar with the moving triangles shows the different "teams", you are the white triangle. I finish second each time. It is timed but they give you lots of time. On the map they say how much time you have. Some items I cannot find at all and have to use hints which just barely help. Still it is an interesting game and new.:LOL:
