Hi Darleen03

Go to this link http://www.bigfishgames.com/store/gameclub.html

You have a choice of 3 options. You can dnload as many as you like.
The price depends on the option you choose. And if I understand right you get one free game per month.
Ana is the expert - she'll explain more.

Not admitting defeat... is the beginning of the solution.
But sometimes asking for help is not a bad idea!

If you choose the 12 game option, you are committed to buy 12 games (or credits for games) at $6.99 each. You can also buy 100 games at $6.99 each, but you need at least 12. With the 12 game option, they are always $6.99.
You are charged for a $6.99 credit every month, which you can use for a game either immediately or after several months. Credits don't expire. If you have a fast connection, it's a good way to buy not only casual games but the adventure games that Big Fish now sells.

Hi Darleen, I was a little dubious about being locked into a contract for 12 months with BFG but it seemed worth doing after I'd payed full price for a couple of games before joining. I've been a member for well over a year now & the 'addiction' has worn off. I could now cancel my subscription as I often don't buy anything for a couple of months - but every now & again, when I'm either too busy or too pre-occuppied to invest the time in an adventure, or just plain in the mood for something lighter I do tend towards games from BF & appreciate having the credits there. Also. now BF have large file AGs available, I know one of these days they may have something I haven't already got! smile

wave Hi, Darleen!

I'm just relaying my own experience...

I have the Jumbo Pack with BigFish. In the almost year since I've been a member, I have absolutely no complaints. The questions that I have had have been quickly and efficiently addressed in a warm, engaging manner. I have only the utmost, positive things to say about BigFish.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.


Woohoo and booyah! smile Have an easy peasy day!

I have played these three on the trail version:

(1) Escape the Museum
(2) Mystery Of Sleepy Hollow
(3) Treasures of Mystery Island

Which one should I pick to buy..?
Which one is Longest?

Thank You for any help in deciding

My opinion, Escape the Museum is hardest, Treasures of Mystery Island the most fun, Mystery of Sleep Hollow in between both.

However, all 3 are great games and pretty much the same in length, I'd say Escape the Museum would be longer because of the interaction and Treasures of Mystery Island the shortest because it is pretty easy.

Thanks, Flo

I think I will pick ..Sleepy Hollow...That game is real spooky eek

I like the fact that
Click to reveal..
If you click too many times on the wrong thing...The screen turns red & a deep scary voice says"I can find you"


Thanks, Darlene ..I appreciate your input on BF

wave Hi, Darleen!

Enjoy 'Sleepy Hollow'!

I have both 'Sleepy Hollow' and 'Escape The Museum'. 'Escape' was challenging and long and I really enjoyed it...

I'm still playing 'Sleepy', and enjoying it as well, though each game is very different.

Maybe someone could point you to the thread where everyone put their favorites in and Ana announced the winners. That would give you all our favorites in one thread. I'm terrible at searching for threads or I'd give you the link.


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

Thanks NYLady, I have PM'd the link to Darleen earlier in the week.

It is accessible by going to annual Game lists on the top of the forum, scroll down to casual games and the whole thread can be accessed by clicking on the "see entire list..... " under the heading of Casual Games. No searching necessary, MaG's the best!

Darleen, it would take you awhile to get it on trade as I don't think it's been released in a box version yet.

Have fun with it and luck wave

There's one point I'm not clear on.
I joined at the Jumbo Club level in January. I have already bought 3 games. I realise that I'll be billed one game credit a month. Does this end once I accumulate 12 purchases (or credit equivalents)? If it continues for 12 months, irregardless of the extra games I purchased, what happens at the end of the 12 month interval?

Hmm, I thought all you had to do was to buy at least 12 games, then you can stop. think

When I joined, I bought 30 games within the first 1½ month, lol thumbsup

You buy or be charged 1 game per month for 12 months (regardless that you get additional games that month or if that is what you signed up for).
After 12 months, you can buy anytime you want at the same cost but it is not obligatory because you're still a member.

Colpet, my understanding is that once you have purchased those 12 games for your Jumbo Pack agreement, you are then free to cancel your subscription regardless of whether it has been one month, six months, or eight months since you became a member. If you don't cancel your subscription by the end of the 12-month period, you will continue to be charged $6.99 a month on your credit card and will continue to be able to purchase games for $6.99 apiece.

This took me a while to understand too, and now that I believe that I understand it completely, I'm wondering why it took me so long to figure it out.

Exactly, that was my understanding too..you just explained it better smile
