Big Fish "The Catch" (FREE Game)

hi, everyone!

For those of you who may not have received the email, Big Fish has introduced a new perk for Game Club members called "The Catch" whereby we can pick up a selected game for FREE ... ZERO POINTS ... NADA ... BUPKIS !! Today's game is "Lost Lands: Redemption" CE so, if you don't already have it in your collection, now is the time to pick it up. I'm on my way to take advantage of this new perk right now because I have no idea how long the deal will last.

Susan

Thanks for letting everyone know about this, Susan! I think it's a great idea. And it will be fun to see if they come up with anything that I don't already have.

Hi, Marian!

Oh, you're very welcome! This new perk was a nice surprise and, since I don't always receive Big Fish's notifications or read them in time, I didn't want anyone to miss out on the sale! I have 3 other games in the Lost Lands series, but not this one, so I just finished downloading it. In Canadian dollars, I'm saving about $9.60 (which is what I would pay for a 65% off sale without points), so it's an even better deal for me ! I'm sure you'll be able to cash in on one of these deals because I had to check my Purchase History to see if I already had it and was surprised that I didn't.

I'm still playing the main game of "Gloomy Tales: Horrific Show", so it's nice to have something waiting in the wings when I'm finished.

Susan

This would be what I was thinking too Marian.

I am not a member but thank you Susan for sharing this information for those who may miss it somehow.

I see I received an email also even though I am not a member.

not a member either.

Is there any information about this perk on BigFish webpage? I'm a member but don't believe I ever got any notice at all about a 'catch of the day' free game. I'm assuming this is not every day but just a once in awhile thing?

On this page

https://www.bigfishgames.com/us/en/pc-games.html

look on the left under Game Club Perks, third item down. I don't know how often it changes. Maybe there is more info there also.

Thanks oldbroad! Picture is getting clearer now. I guess my eyes kept passing over 'the catch' on that page. Nice perk by BigFish, it doesn't say how often the perk updates just says the free game is periodically rotated to a new one.

Hi, lakerz!

I received an email notification from Big Fish that "The Catch" was a new perk for Game Club members, but it may have landed in your "Spam" folder. I didn't already have "Lost Lands: Redemption", so I started it yesterday and am enjoying it very much.

Susan

I also received an email about The Catch.

Looks like 'the catch' game has changed, but it is $9.99 even for BigFish club members

The Catch has not changed, and you can find it here. Being as I am a Game Club member, I got it for free.

The announcement is on the left-hand side of the PC home page, underneath the Daily Deal.

Hi, lakerz!

"The Catch" game is free for Big Fish members because I picked up "Christmas Stories: Alice's Adventures" CE on Monday. If you are a Big Fish Club member, log into your account, add the game to your cart, and the cost will be $0.00. I purchased the SE 4 years ago, so I picked up the CE for the Bonus Game because the price is right . !

Susan

This morning, The Catch has changed to MCF: 13th Skull Collector's Edition.

Hi, Marian!

Wow, that was quick ! I already have that one, but was able to take advantage of the first two offers, so I'm happy. I just finished playing "Mystery Case Files: The Last Resort" CE and, even though I thought it was quite short (especially the Bonus Game), I did enjoy it very much.

Susan

I am glad to hear that you liked the new MCF. Considering the fact that the developers were in the middle of a war zone when they were making the game, it's a bit miraculous that we got a new MCF at all. I think I will enjoy the game.

Not sure when this is going to be released, but it's good to know that another one is in the works.

Hi, Marian!

I did not realize that the developer is in Ukraine, so I completely agree with you. I'm sure you will enjoy the game, and I especially enjoyed the mega puzzles because they were a lot of fun and not overly difficult. The HO scenes were fun as well. I just received an email from Big Fish with a link to download the Beta version of "MCF: The Dolimar Legacy". I downloaded but haven't played it yet, and I was surprised that there will be another new one so soon.

Susan

The new Catch can be found here.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the heads up. I have that one (no surprise there ) but there is also a BOGO sale this weekend !

Susan

And now it has changed to this.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks so much . Upon checking my Purchase History, surprisingly, I don't have that one. Since I have 12 other "Hidden Expeditions", I don't know what happened, but I'm off to add this one to my cart. Merry Christmas to me !

Susan

That is great news, Susan! Enjoy!!

Thank You going to play now Susan So thrilled Happy Holidays

I am very happy that you were able to get the game, Leeana!

Hi, Leeana!

Happy Holidays to you as well, and thanks again to Marian for letting us know that the game had changed because I sometimes forget to check if there's a new "The Catch" !

Susan

I am warming up to this Big Fish perk! Nice that they keep changing it up and offering up some collector's editions for free. A few times I owned the regular version so nice to upgrade.

I'm glad to hear you have been able to take advantage of the offers, lakerz!

This morning there is a new offering here. I did not have this in my Purchase History, so yay!

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the heads up! I also checked my Purchase History and don't have the new one either. What is wrong with this picture ? I did pick up the SE of "The Forgotten Tales: The Spectra World" with a coupon, but somehow managed to miss "Canvases of Time". I must say I'm really enjoying "The Catch" and it definitely makes up for the change in the U.S. exchange rate because this is the fourth game that I've gotten for free .

A huge "Thank You" for everything you do here, and all the best for the New Year !

Susan

Thank you so much, Susan, and I am so happy to hear that you were able to take advantage of this offer.

Hi, Marian!

I'm currently playing "Christmas Stories: Alice's Adventures". I bought the SE with a coupon when it first came out so this one is an upgrade for the Bonus Game. Of course, the entire game is mostly brand new to me because, other than a few flashes of recognition here and there, I don't remember much about it .

Susan

The new one can be found here.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the heads up. I checked my "Purchase History" and bought the SE with a coupon in February of 2018, so now I can upgrade to the CE for free .

Susan

That's great news, Susan!

We now have this on offer.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks! I just checked my Purchase History, and I have "And The Strangler of Paris" CE, but not this one. I'm now off to cash in on this freebie !

Susan

That is great to hear more good news, Susan!

It is nice BF keeps switching up the 'catch'. A few of these I owned the regular version but not the CE, so it's nice to upgrade for free. Thanks BigFish! I am also liking the new member pricing system.

Hi, lakerz!

I agree. I have picked up a few games I didn't already own. I also picked up a couple of games so I could upgrade the SEs to CEs for free !

Susan

And this morning there is a new Catch of the Week, which you can find here.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks once again for the heads up. I bought a lot of games in 2018 and have other games in the series but, apparently, this wasn't one of them . I just finished playing the last free game I picked up, so the timing couldn't have been better. I downloaded and installed this one and am looking forward to playing it.

I must say that I'm really enjoying this new perk, and it takes most of the sting out of the increased prices for games and monthly membership fee due to the higher U.S. exchange rate.

Susan

Susan, that's so nice to hear that this is a new game for you! And just in the nick of time, too.

A new Catch showed up today.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks! I checked my Purchase History and have that one, but I've done pretty good so far with the freebies ! Maybe next time!

Susan

You're welcome, Susan! I will continue to post new entries as I see them.

Thank you, Marian!

This is the second game I did NOT have in my purchase history.

You are most welcome, smitty!

I believe "The Catch" has changed again today. Cadenza: The Eternal Dance CE

Thanks for stepping up, oldbroad 👍

(And am hoping Marian is OK - in this latest dreadful USA weather 🤞🤞🤞)

Yes, I agree Mad! I had thought that weather was south of her but apparently not.

Thanks, oldbroad! Appreciate the help!

Marian lost power on Friday in the major snowstorm in California. To my knowledge (from the power company) I was told it was restored last night but I haven't heard from her so she may still not have internet. She got a few feet of snow I think!

Hope Marian is okay. I live in coastal Los Angeles area and can attest that this storm was something else! Almost hurricane like winds combined with tons of rain and hail. Mountain regions got snowed in like crazy. Looks like the worst is now over though but still very chilly outside.

The new Catch can be found here.

And thank you for your concern, lakerz. We are having ongoing troubles here as a result of all of this but we are safe at this time.

The new Catch can be found here.

Thanks Marian.

Thank you Marian!

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the heads up. For some reason, I don't already have that one, so I downloaded it and will give it a try when I'm finished with "Lost Lands: Sand Captivity" CE.

Susan

Glad to help, everyone!

Hi, Marian!

I downloaded the new "The Catch" yesterday and received 100 points !

Susan

Wow, that's great! I already had the game so (obviously) I did not download it.

The Catch is a time management CE today: Rescue Team: Planet Savers Collector's Edition.

Do you have it or are you going to get it?

I picked it up right away, oldbroad. I have only one game in this series and it's great to get another one for free.

We have a new time management game for the Catch today, which can be found here.

A new HOPA Catch can be found here.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked my Purchase History and already have that one, but I hope every Game Club member who doesn't will pick it up because that's one of my favorite series !

Susan

I have this game too, Susan, and thought it was a good one.

Thanks Marian! Even though I'm not a member I like to see what they're offering. I wouldn't be able to take advantage of any so far as I already have them all (except the Time Management ones).

We have a new time management Catch that can be found here.

Thanks, ob! I am glad you like to see what they are offering.

We have a new Catch today and it's a HOPA from Mad Head here.

Thank you Marian!

Something weird -

I tried the 'Catch' yesterday. Added it to my cart, and checked out. The price automatically changed to zero, as expected. Then, after downloading and installing, it appeared in My Games as a demo with 90 minutes to play - not at the full game activated. What's up with that?

Hi, Tally Ho!

On Big Fish's website, go to "Purchase History" and then "My Game Downloads". Try downloading the game from there. and see if it works.

Susan

Tally Ho, you can also try starting up the game, then exiting - on the exit page you will see a question asking you if you have already purchased the game - click on the link to reactivate and the full game will download and install.

Also, this offer is only free for Game Club members - not sure if you are one? The first post in this thread talks about the Catch being a perk for Game Club members.

Hi - I did what Susan said, and that worked - Thanks!

Yes, I am a game club member; got the fuzzy fish to prove it.

Glad it worked for you! Susan's method as well as mine should fix that issue should it ever happen again.

I have the fuzzy fish too.

Hi, Tally Ho!

You're very welcome, and I'm glad it worked ! I already have that game, so I may play it again while I'm waiting for the next sale. I made note of Marian's solution (which I didn't know about) ... just in case !

Susan

There is a new Mad Head HOPA here as the new Catch.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the heads up! The preview looked so good that I was prepared to pick it up, but I thought I'd check my "Purchase History" first just to make sure I don't already have it ... and there it was ! I think I'll play it again!

Susan

Ha! Susan, I know that feeling only too well!

I could certainly replay this game!

The new Catch is a Mariaglorum Mystery of the Ancients HOPA - check it out on the PC home page.

Thanks for the update, Marian!

The new Catch is a time management game that can be found here. I will be happy to add this to my collection as I enjoy this type of game.

Have fun with it Marian!

A HOPA from Elephant is the new Catch here.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the heads up. Surprisingly, I do not have this one, so I'm downloading it right now !

Susan

Susan, I did not have this one either! Will wonders never cease!

Me too! all downloaded and ready to run. Thanks for the heads-up!

*******************

Playing it as we speak. It's a bit Harry-Pottery; but that's okay (so far)

You are welcome, Tally Ho! And yes, it does seem that they had Harry Potter in mind.

Hi, Marian and Tally Ho!

I have 7 games in this series, so I don't know how I missed out on this one . !

I've done really well with "The Catch" so far because I've picked up 8 games that I either didn't buy when they were first released or I just bought the SEs (probably with a coupon) so I was able to upgrade to the CEs for free.

Enjoy!

Susan

Happy gaming, Susan!

A new HOPA Catch can be found here.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks so much! I checked my Purchase History and don't have this one either, even though I do have several others in that series. I'm off to download another freebie !

Susan

That is great news, Susan! I am so glad you are able to benefit from this.

Yeah, you're making out like a bandit with these "The Catch" games, Susan!

Hi, oldbroad!

! I certainly am! I can't believe how many games I didn't buy that I am now able to pick up for free, but I'm not complaining !

Susan

Another HOPA is now on offer as the Catch; you can find it here.

Another HOPA as the Catch is now on offer here.

And today we now have another HOPA as the Catch.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the heads up. I have "Lost Time" in that series, but not "Lost Dreams", so I just picked it up and am downloading it right now .

Susan

That's great, Susan! That makes my day. Thanks for letting me know.

The new Catch can be found here.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the heads up. I picked the SE up with a coupon, so now I can pick the CE up for free ! Since that was over 3 years ago, I probably won't remember a thing about the main game ! I'm still playing "Haunted Hotel: Lost Dreams" CE (which was the last Catch) and enjoying it very much.

Susan

That is all such good news, Susan! And after more than three years, it would certainly be like a new game for me, too!

I still haven't played Lost Dreams but am looking forward to it.

Hi, Marian!

I''m glad I'm not the only one ! I think you'll enjoy "Lost Dreams". I own several games in the "Haunted Hotel" series but, for some reason, I didn't have that one.

Susan

The new Catch can be found here.

I have this one and have played it - it is a really nice game and quite lengthy too.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks very much! I checked my Purchase History and have 3 games in the "Enchanted Kingdom" series, but not this one. I'm downloading it right now !

Susan

What great news, Susan! Way to go!

A new HOPA Catch can be found here.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks! I picked up the SE with a coupon, so now I can upgrade to the CE for free !

Susan

Another winner, then! Nice, Susan!

You go girl!

Hi, oldbroad!

! There is nothing more satisfying than seeing $0.00 on the Purchase screen !

Susan

The new HOPA Catch can be found here.

I have played this one already and enjoyed it.

Scroll down the page here and it will show you what the next 3 catches are - and there will be one a week this month instead of every two weeks.

The new CE Catch can be found here and there should be a new Catch for the next two Mondays as a Christmas present for Game Club members.

An oldie but a goodie is the Catch of the week here.

Thanks for keeping us updated.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks for the link to the list! I already have today's release, but can take advantage of the next three. One I don't have and the other two I have the SE so can upgrade to the CE for free !

Susan

That is very good news, Susan!

The new HOPA Catch can be found here.

A new HOPA Catch can be found here.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks! I picked up the SE with a coupon when it was first released, so I just upgraded to the CE !

Susan

Another nice upgrade, Susan!

The last four games I have played (including the new 'catch') have all contained the puzzle where you slide a piece of paper under the door and push the key through with a sharp object. Elementary, my dear Watson! 🤣😁😎🥱

The first game I played where I can remember doing that was Phantasmagoria. It seemed novel at the time.

Hi, Marian!

I was just about to post exactly that, so GMTA ! "Phantasmagoria" was one of the best games I have ever played.

Thank you for everything you do here, and all the best for the New Year!

Susan

And thank you for being here, Susan, and all the best for the New Year for you too!

I too love Phantasmagoria. I have played and replayed it, and yet thinking about it makes me want to play it again. I am pretty sure that I would see something new were I to do so. Must play it again soon.

Phantasmagoria is an adventure game, isn't it? I have it but have not played it.

Yes, it is!

Hi, oldbroad!

if you haven't played it yet, you're in for a real treat !

Susan

I second that. Love both games but feel the first is the best

(Although I don’t think the second is a sequel.)

Well, I do have both of them, of course.

Of course you do !!!!

Hi, Mad!

I didn't play the second one, but remember that there were 2 versions of the first one and the "uncensored" version was scandalous and banned in some locations. "Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within" was also released that year.

Susan

The new Catch can be found here - and it's a HOPA.
