Hi All
I got my daughter hooked on BFG community online games especially Riddle ODay. She branched out to Slots, and I branched out to Fairway Solitaire and Team Bingo. But we both have been noticing that the chats with the games would mention LOBE at times. So she tried it today and then I did too. It is a blast if you love puzzles. I noticed many of the rooms are full tonight so others must be catching on to this game. So if you are a online casual gamer, you might try this one.

THanks Koalanut, I do the riddle a day every day but missed L.O.B.E.

That is just what I needed...another addiction.

Ana

You're welcome Ana!

I didn't want to be addicted alone!

It just started today. Variety of different puzzle types. Waiting to see how long it takes me to stop being a blockhead. lol

Here's the rankings they list under "How to Play"

Ranks
You start the game with a rank of Blockhead1. There are 9 levels within each rank, so when you have earned 25,000 tokens (playing L.O.B.E.) your level will advance from Blockhead1 to Blockhead2 and you will earn 2,500 tokens! Here are the ranks and rewards:

Ranks New Level At Rewards
Blockhead1 to Blockhead9 15,000 tokens 2,500 tokens
Politician1 to Politician9 25,000 tokens 3,500 tokens

I just started Blockhead three, I got a long way to go!

Oh gosh. I've been so busy that I haven't been in the game community in about a month. Just started LOBE and love it!

ETA: I would love to see a retail packaged version for download. I'm hooked on "brain" games like this, Brainversity and The Amazing Brain Train.

I finally made the rank of Politician! What a great game!

Ana

I made Halfwit 1!
Who knew that one would have to work so hard to be a Halfwit!

Koalanut

I thought it hilarious that Politician is just one above Blockhead.

I made it to Politician 4, can't wait to get out of there.

I am totally addicted to LOBE!!!! I just made Student1

Congrats Patricia! I am a politician2, do the games change as you get up on the scale or do the same games just get harder? I'm getting ready for a few more additions. I love the professers voice and encouragement. He totally makes me smile.

Ana

I just went to Online Games but cannot find LOBE?

Please link me

Linda

Linda, I did a search for it and came up with the link to BigFish since I couldn't find it in any of the online game lists; but now I'm having trouble downloading Java.

It is #1 under popular games on THis page. It's addictive!

Ana

Once you get to "Genius" mode, they only get harder, the games stay the same which was my only dissapointment. I have yet to master "Mouse Untrap" and I cannot do "Equations" on Genius either. Once you complete so many of 1 puzzle on Genius, you get a bonus of 2500 tokens. I've been playing since before it "officially" came out, and they've made some changes between beta and final release, some good, some pfft.

Linda, here's your link: http://atlantis.bigfishgames.com/

It's under "Game Community" NOT "Online", I got that mixed up my first trip over there too.

Thank you! I was looking at Online Games and not Game Community.

Linda

I thought it was funny that Politician is followed by Halfwit!

Hardest for me is dots. Like the cheese one.

Love the tangrams, but not on genius. The mouse and cheese seems to be the hardest for me. The mouse and pipe one is pretty easy for me. The triwords on genius is pretty hard, I keep finding all kinds of great long words, but they don't work for three words. Love the math ones, almost on genius on equations and working the sum one on genius. The pictures and shapes are easier when I play them with fresh eyes. I love the dot ones, although sometimes I want to just pick up the pieces and stretch them! The logic one I think will be pretty scary once I get to genius on it.
