Someone told me a while back how to search for "Adventure Light" on FB, to avoid scrolling through all the bubble popping and candy cane stuff. I didn't write it down. Who knows how to do this?

Also, is it possible to search BF by game designer? That might sieve out a lot of the also-rans, too.

Thanks in advance.

If you are talking about searching for "adventure lite" on the Big Fish Games Facebook page, I am not at all sure that they make that kind of distinction on their page (in terms of adventure lite versus hidden object).

The only time I see a developer line-up on a page on the Big Fish website is when they have a sale on a particular developer's games; otherwise, I don't think there's a way to do a search for that.

The Adventure Lite search was for here not FB. There is no search feature like that there.

And while we are on the subject of Big Fish, it would also be nice if they had a "wish list" for games I might want to buy in the future. Every time I put games in my cart, but don't purchase them, they are gone when I come back. I always forget which games I am interested in and have to hunt for them again. I'm really surprised they don't have that feature as well as a search for non-HOGS games. Life's little annoyances....lol. smirk

A wish list would be a nice feature, one that you could write and suggest to Customer Support. Otherwise, you could put a text document on your desktop called Big Fish wish list and keep a record of them there. This is what I do with my free coupon codes; I put them there so that I don't have to go sorting through my email to find them. smile

That's a great idea.....especially the game codes! I am always searching back through my email looking for them. I think I have actually missed a few because of that. Thanks for the suggestion. thanks

Glad to help. I also like it because it eliminates the possibility of accidentally deleting them from your email. yes

If you do it, be sure you also put the date of expiration on the codes, of course.

Great idea, Marion. I usually click the button for IMPORTANT on such emails, which adds an icon, so I can scroll through my email and find them easily, but having a Document to which they could be copy/pasted would be good. I think I'll add a line to my games spreadsheet just for that. Thanks!

Whenever I see a game I like, I just bookmark the page. I have a folder (on Firefox) called "BFG Wishlist" and I put all the bookmarks in there. Then when there's a sale, I can click on the game link and go right to the page. As for the punch codes, I also keep them in a text document with the expiration date for each code (example: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX Expires 1/1/2016) that way I know when they are good until.

The BFG Game Manager works well as a wish list for me. After downloading a game to demo, it's saved in the Game Manager. Any games I don't like or am not interested in for some reason, I delete.
