I have noticed that there is no walkthroughs for any of the new games from BF, all you get is a 404 error. People have been talking about this at the BF site on FaceBook. I'm wondering if they cancelled them. I just sent a message to BF so hopefully I'll get an answer.

Might be just a glitch on their site or at your end, for example the game that Marian posted recently "Mystery Tales: Til Death" has a walkthrough that comes with it, and I went to BF site and notice WT for some of the recent games.
Anyway, I am sure one of the Mods. will provide a clearer answer for you.
Good luck and stay safe.

Thanks Starcom, but I'm not the only one that has noticed this, BF fan club on facebook is also mentioning it.

Walkthroughs have not been canceled. If folks are getting an error message for a specific game, maybe Big Fish is moving stuff around on their web pages or revamping something - that would be my guess, but it's good that people are asking. Hopefully someone will answer this question soon.

I've noticed the missing waltkhroughs too.
I also noticed it last week.
And I'm not playing very new games -- 3 years old at least.

Big Fish seems to have taken down some of their walkthroughs.
Possibly it's a temporary thing because they're updating their walkthroughs.

For example, compare the way the current walkthrough for "A Gypsy's Tale" looks
https://www.bigfishgames.com/blog/walkthroughs/a-gypsys-tale-the-tower-of-secrets.html

with how it used to look
https://web.archive.org/web/2017070...s-tale-the-tower-of-secrets-walkthrough/

They're making the print bigger.
They're making the walkthrough page look different in other ways.
People who run websites put too much emphasis on whether or not the website "looks" modern.
Despite that most people who use websites just want them to work.

Another example, the game "Fairly Twisted Tales: The Price of a Rose" that I was playing earlier today used to have a walkthrough available at Big Fish, and it's archived at
https://web.archive.org/web/2019020...d-tales-the-price-of-a-rose-walkthrough/

A web search may find you a link to where the walkthrough used to be at
https://www.bigfishgames.com/blog/walkthrough/fairly-twisted-tales-the-price-of-a-rose-walkthrough/

However you now get a 404 if you try to access the above link at Big Fish.

Also if you go to Big Fish's list of walkthroughs that start with an "F" at
https://www.bigfishgames.com/blog/walkthroughs/name.f.html
there is no listing for "Fairly Twisted Tales."
Does that mean that particular walkthrough is gone for good at Big Fish?
Or does it just mean they're working on "updating" it and they'll add the link later?

If you go to the archived list of walkthroughs for Big Fish games you'll see Fairly Twisted Tales was once listed there.
Archive of Big Fish's old walkthrough page:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200406173050/http://www.bigfishgames.com/blog/game-walkthroughs/

Archived list of walkthroughs that start with an "F" at Big Fish:
https://web.archive.org/web/20171113220410/http://www.bigfishgames.com/blog/game-walkthroughs/?i=F

Current Big Fish page of walkthroughs starting with an "F"
https://www.bigfishgames.com/blog/walkthroughs/name.f.html

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I'm going to guess the walkthroughs that are missing will eventually reappear.
A Gypsy's Tale is quite an old game (I bought it in 2010) and that one got updated.

Thanks for all that, Jenny. I do think that the website is being updated/revamped and thus the (temporarily) missing walkthroughs.

Meanwhile, if you are unable to find a specific walkthrough, judith, let us know and we can try to help. Most of the games now have walkthroughs on YouTube as well, although I know that many prefer the written ones. But as my mother used to say, any old port in a storm...

Thanks everyone; I hope they will reappear. I did send a message to FB asking about this, let's hope they answer my question.
