Ramona, are you asking where the 2 fish are? Are you still in the game or have you completed it with only one fish?

**edit:

Never mind, I went to the Strategy Guide in the game and found the last morph and have all 50 now!

Where do I find the time so I know how long this took? I will stop here, just before the last 5 puzzles because I would rather not have to play all over again to take the tour.

Can someone please tell me where and how we take the BFG tour?

*exhale* what a game!

After 3 days of working with the BFG techs I've discovered there is absolutely nothing wrong with my computer or ram. The fault is that the WT on Gamezebo showed this game for the chest in the nautical bedroom:

* On the Chest is a puzzle rotation wheel. Click on each ring to rotate the letters. The goal is to spell a word on each of the four sections of the puzzle. If a word appears spelled backwards/upside-down, rotate each ring once to right the words. Solutions are random, but here are a few possibilities:

FOLLOW, RIPPED, DENTED, PARROT

ADORES, GREASY, FOLLOW, LADDER

ADORES, FOLLOW, MORGUE, PROVEN

PROVEN, HINTED, FEVERS, PARROT

The puzzle may be skipped.

I didn't get this game.... I got a dumb ol' game with clock hands. Therefore, I figured there was something wrong with my computer. So does the game not use the same games for everyone? I love word games and wished I had had that one. I have to skip the clock hands...


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

I got the clock hands, it's not that hard, just put the ones that are widest apart first and fill in going around from there.
I would use Margies walkthrough, she used the release that was final and not a preview.

NYLady - I had the same thing happen to me - it is further back in this thread. That word puzzle has been placed further into the game.

Follow Ana's advice (also given further back) and start with the hands farthest apart first.

Hint: you can move the hands around before placing in the puzzle. That really did the trick for me.


So many games, so little time.

You can move the hands while on the clock face also, just click on the one you want turned.

It did get confusing for me when they were already on the clock face - invariably I moved the wrong one.

Ok, I finished the game again and this time I see where my score time is! I took the tour!

First Run - 6:25:31 (so close!)
Second Run - 3:15:46 and that was having to go back for the salt and mercury!

Whew! Bring on the next MCF!

LOL I have to use a hint every HOG scene so I am not even trying for a good score. Finishing the game would be a high score for me.

I had to pass on that hand thing... I have no patience... I did know that the hands move in both places but I just couldn't get it right. I wish I had patience. I'd probably do much better because I'm sure if I looked hard enough and long enough I'd find everything without using a hint.

Good to hear I'll have a crack at that word game.

I looked for a WT on BF when I first got the game and didn't see one. Someone here sent me to Zebo.
I'll look for the BF one.

No need to ever look beyond my first post if there is a walkthrough because I always put the link in there.

I think I am near the end of the game, but I can't fnd the last morphing object. The map in the secret area shows that I have 4/5 objects in the tent/ruins area. I found the one on the sign,the boots in the tent, and the bowl in the tent. Any ideas where the last one is? Thanks.

Yes, you won't find the last one yet - you have to do the puzzle and enter the last scene.

Click to reveal..
[/spoiler]After you do the stone puzzle and go down to where the Banshee sits, you need to look up in the upper right corner - there will be a morphing skull [spoiler]


I went nuts trying to find the last morph and there is no way to find it unless you keep going, lol.

Good luck! Great Game!!

I really need to apologize to Margie. I thought the book on the first page was the guide... I just found out it is from the menu and is very explicit... I use it everytime I can't figure out what to do or where to go next. Very helpful.

I am ashamed to admit that I've had to skip every puzzle so far. They are very hard. Thank goodness for skips.

I think when I play it the second time I will try harder to solve them.

Did anyone else get a "game update available" notice in the game manager last night? I did and clicked on it. It seemed to download the entire game again, so I just let it run as I was up late reading anyway. This morning, I played a bit in my second game and didn't see anything different.

blush Me too, I'm glad I read this. I've been hitting this silly rabbit on the head and been called some not so nice names for my efforts. Will this make the rabbits head fall off,?

I downloaded the update this morning. It is a patch designed to eliminate the access-violation error message that some people experienced, along with the game deleting the player's user profile.

I experienced none of these problems but since I plan on playing the game a second time, I downloaded the update for insurance protection. smile

It is not necessary to completing the game bri, it is a bonus level.

Marian, I just finished playing for the 3rd time! Never did use the patch - only problem I had was I got stuck in a hidden object scene and finally just clicked on menu after doing about 4 sets of objects rotfl

That was the only glitch I experienced and it was on the 2nd go-through.

I didn't experience any glitches at all the first time, but am glad they patched the game for the people who did. This game is definitely the double download!

I am not going to remove this one! That is a huge download to do twice! So glad I didn't have to patch it.

That was a weird glitch - so glad I was able to leave the area and the glitch behind me.

Great game! Compelling gameplay! I also like the way it keeps everything you have already achieved on the replays.
