I don't know if you've seen this or not. It's a free game from Hallmark cards and Big Fish. You are supposed to send a card to someone, and then they get the free game. However, I found that if I just selected a card and watched it, I could click the big fish link on the card, and I could get the free game code mailed to me. I doubt this link will work--it's really long--so copy and paste in your browser. I hope this hasn't already been posted. If it has, just disregard and delete if necessary.
Edited to add: You get to choose from four games. Mystery Files Huntsville, Sodoku, Mystic Inn or Mahjongg Towers.

Membersuzzyqz - You have to copy and paste the entire link into your browser. I watched the card all the way to the end. It was of the card marked "free game". That took me to a page where I entered my email address. Then to a Big Fish page. I'm still waiting for my email, though. That was over an hour ago. :(

Games GuruThanks for the link CATNIP. It's a pity the games are restricted to the above four because I'vealready bought them :(
One piece of good news is that if you have more than one Email you can get more than one game. :) I thought I'd check it out despite not needing the games and was sent unlock codes three times after using three of my disposable Emails.
It's a good offer though. And thanks for the link to the Ecards as well. I'm starting to get into Ecards so any link is good to keep for me. :)
Have a great weekend folks.
regards

MemberYay! I'm glad it worked. Thanks for finding a way to get to the cards without using that big link I posted, Maizydaze! I was worried when I saw that the whole link didn't work, and I had to leave and couldn't fix it.
Also with this offer, you get a code for 50 percent off any Big Fish game. So, if you aren't a member of Big Fish already, you can use the code to get a game for $10.
Happy gaming!!!

MemberHey, I just got two and now I'm going in for a third! Their mail did go to my spam folder for the first one.
Catnip, Thanks for the link! You ought to make yourself present around the forums more often. I like you and it gets a little lonely here sometimes. :)

EDIT: I just got the 3rd. This is great! I don't want the 4th one.
Now I'll get them on the the laptop. :)
______________________Catnip, I saw that you wrote this in another thread, "I used to do medical transcription at home so that I could stay home, but the privacy laws changed, so I don't do that now, either." I have a friend who does this from home right now. I was wondering what it is that would prevent you from doing it and still allow her to continue? Just curious..

Games GuruIf you apply for more than one of the free games, you'll also notice that you get a 50% off token. Each one is unique and can be used because I decided to buy two games using the discount codes, though I did it seperately rather than order the games together. However, that said; Big Fish Games have several excellent packages including one where you only pay $6.99 for each game, though you do have to purchase 12 games over a year (1 each month). There's other offers including a buy one get one free offer, which basically negates the 50% off code offer I mention above, unless you only intend buying one game, then it's well worth it.

Games JunkieSorry, It messed up for me! The only one I didn't own was MCF, but the Email they sent said if you were already a member Log-in, didn't do the create another account!
I had a credit, that's what they used!!!!!!!
So, If your a BF member, don't do what I did!
Now I have Emailed them asking for my credit back, we will see, otherwise I will be really ticked off!!!!!!!!!! I told them I would forward them the Email that said it was Free from Hallmark and BF, and the game wasn't worth using my credit!!!!!!!!Thanks anyway, Suki

Games GuruThat's c***. I hope you sort it. I agree with you regarding using your credits. all four games are old hat, but I suppose that's a matter of opinion. :) Let us know if it is resolved.
I'm still waiting for a reply from them after asking about Beta testing a couple of weeks ago.

MemberSukibabe, it used one of my credits too. I the chat now beta on the MY Account page and they fixed it and gave me a coupon for the credit that was used. If you have set express checkout it will automatically use your credits. Once you uncheck it and they've sent you a coupon for your credit, you can go back in and use the coupon from Hallmark and get the game.

Games Junkiesamm, I have great faith that Fish will make it right! They already used my credit for the Hallmark game! I won't be going with that...., but they usually send me a code for a free game of my choice, when something like this happens!
Whabbit, don't hold your breath! Like I said before, you get to be a Beta Tester if you join(PAY) their online club....and that is iffy,lol......
Thanks guys, Suki

Games GuruHi Sukibabe, I certainly wouldn't pay to beta test games. The way I see it, if you do the job seriously, as i'm sure you do and i do, then the developer should at least pay for the work you've done by giving you a free key. I'll often spend days testing a game. so a paltry $20 is almost an insult. though I know we do it by choice. It's a shame that there are plenty of people willing to do it for free.

MemberThanks for the info for the games, catnip!
I know the games are older but as my husband still uses our old 98 computer and can't get free games from here(most of the time as the computer is too old),he was thrilled to get the mahjong game!
Me too!!
have a great day!Posted 16 years ago # -

Games GuruHi Merri, have you tried any of the games linked to in the games discussion threads. Theres loads of freeware games (100's in fact) that don't require up to date computers.

MemberEEK , My husband's anti virus says that there is a TROJAN in the mah jong game! It is odd as MY anti virus is happy with the game and I have had no problems!
I WONDER though, as one gets new layouts on the web; it is POSSIBLE some one has sent a virus through.
be cautious, folks!

MemberMerri, My Avast AV flagged it as a backdoor trojan, but my anti-malware didn't. I uploaded the file that was flagged "nqnvbtr.exe" to Virus Total Online scanner and 50% of the AVs and anti-malware programs are detecting this file as a trojan. That's a high enough total for me to clean this program off of my computer and will try to notify Big Fish Games. I'd encourage others to use caution with this.
