I have all of the Hidden Expeditions games and I love them all. I play them over and over. Hidden Expedition Amazon is a beautifully done game and worth buying IMO. praise

I'm very disappointed. I tried to download it 3 times and it keeps saying "download interrupted" and to check my connection but my cable is connected.

I guess I'll have to clean house. frown


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

Sorry to hear that NyLady, perhaps you can try later and it is just because there is too many downloading at one time. When I first started downloading it, I got the same message. I just clicked on download button again, and it worked for me. I know you will be getting it and think you will love it.

I've given up on downloading it for now. I've tried several times and never get more than 9% downloaded before it stops and I have to start over. I'll try again later today or maybe Saturday. I even redownloaded the installer and it still messed up.

I don't know how many levels I've played so far (a couple of hours - I stopped at the putting monkeys on the pulley things to go to bed) and I am loving this! The production qualities are excellent, storyline engaging and the mini-games fun.

Good job to everyone at BFG for putting out another winner!

what is Fahrenheit and Fate and where did you find it? The title is entriguing

great great game ... finished it once and now playing again to enjoy the settings and to not skip by the puzzles that enable "Solve"

question about the screens where we search for 20 somethings ... I often wonder if some of them don't appear early on and then come on later ... or is it that I just didn't see them at first

as a computer programmer in my previous life, I'm always interested in how the developers put it together ... this one is one of the best yet

I am loving this game! I even think the music is fantastic. I find mysellf humming the tunes. Kind of reminds me of Indiana Jones.

Big Fish did it again with a wonderful game.

The music is all original scores conceived by BFG, Composed by our partner Somatone and performed and recorded by the Berlin Symphony orchestra. Not cheap, but so much better than prefab "clip" music most games use.

I love this game too. I was actually getting tired of HOGs. Then this one came along and I'm hooked all over again. Gotta be my all time favorite HOG to date.

More like this one please! smile

Purchased this game this morning and I'm just now taking a break! I'm loving this game; the storyline, (some humorous points in the diary lol ) the music, the graphics. It's all good!

Thank you, Big Fish!


Woohoo and booyah! smile Have an easy peasy day!

Wow, that is amazing! You really can tell the quality of the music by listening.

Amazon is so incredible in every way that I can't wait to see what you have in store for us with MCF 5 and Azada 2!

See, I knew I really liked the music!! It really helps to draw you into the game. Somatone and the Berlin Symphony Orchestra did a great job. It makes me feel like I am really there.It just helps to makes the overall package a quality item. Now, if only real life could come with a sound track.

Thanks Big Fish Guy for not skimping on the quality.

wave Wow!!

Just finished this game and, for a HOG, it is vast! Great story, wonderful quality, humor, beautiful to look at, and real brain teasers. One of the best, if not the best, HOG I've played. Thank you, again, Big Fish! Awesome job!

I contacted customer service about my download problem, but current response time is 72 hours. That's okay. I've waited this long for the game, I can wait longer. I may just end up getting it on cd.

Downloaded with no problem except it took forever--now I know why! This is a great game with beautiful graphics and interesting but not too difficult puzzles. I too was getting tired of HOGs but this has renewed my interest.

I just love this game the music and graphics and all the animation and brillant colors. I tried the demo not five mintues went by and I bought it right away. I hope that we get more quality games like this love the distant travel to foreign lands and exotic places to make it more intersting. The puzzles make you think outside the box and test you. The best game I bought this year. Great work Big Fish Guy.

The sites up and running. Fast download. Ready to go. Any idea why BFG sent me a postcard over the big water telling me about it? Won't that add to their expenses which in turn will be passed to on us?

We have never raised prices. The cost is in making the games. Relative to that, sending postcards to our best customers is relatively inexpensive.

cris, I must say that most of us are more than thrilled to receive a postcard or anything else from BigFish. I save them and use them as bookmarks. I think it's a nice touch.

Also, I have never seen a price increase on BigFish yet and the GameClub brings the opportunity of owning a bunch of quality games, for little investment a possibility to many homes. Kudos to BigFish for running a class act site.

I was also pleased to get a postcard and am using it for a bookmark. I'm a designer so I like to keep well designed postcards.

Oh, more riddles re: the plush toy fish. Can't wait! smile
