I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! It is challenging, fun and addicting! I played it for hours and had to tear myself away! Fantastic puzzles, lots of variety, doesn’t get boring, but not so difficult that it gets frustrating either. Great Job, Big Fish!

Good game, just the “scramble” every time can get a bit annoying. Very addicting as stated, but good for making you think.

3 Bear June 9, 2008 at 5:14 pm

I found that I’ve become very addicted to this new game. It’s fun, free and fantasticcccccccc! Anyone who hasn’t tried it and enjoys puzzle games, NEEDS to try it. I played for hours yesterday…and it was the first time I’d tried it. Even Bare liked helping me play the games. So it’s definitely got something for everyone in the one game.

Absolutely wonderful to have such a wide selection of puzzles all in one site. Thanks Big Fish, you did a great job with this game. A delightful game to play.

5 dolphinblue June 10, 2008 at 8:11 pm

I love this game it is truly mind challenging and lots of fun aswell thank you big fish great job

6 kelltt June 11, 2008 at 5:39 am

Wow….So many different puzzles…lol…I can see myself getting addicted to this one….Well done…

7 Lynda Robinson June 11, 2008 at 1:18 pm

Love this game. Sure beats waiting around for something to come on like Riddle O Day.

8 Doris June 12, 2008 at 5:25 pm

I’m really enjoying these mind teasers!!! Enjoying them until the game freezes…. Yesterday I was just getting to
understand the game and after 3hrs. I ran into this problem.
Today I played 6hrs. and during that time I had go out and
re-enter the room I was is 3 times. The last time I froze
I couldn’t get into any room not even “strong language” I shut down and reconnected to the net. I decided to let you know what has been happening before I try again. By the way
this freezing is happening to a lot of people in Riddle O Day. People can’t use QUARKS to chat beccause when they do
everrything stops.
Really like Big Fish games a lot. In fact, I can’t wait for next MFC mystery comes out. Thank you for all the enjoyable time we spend together.

WOW Love this game. Its a very challenging and addicting game. I really enjoy the different puzzles it has. Thanks Bigfish for a good game

10 Jean June 13, 2008 at 7:50 pm

Well well it’s about time you came up with a game thats mind boggling. i love thos game.This game makes you use your brain.

11 Sandy June 14, 2008 at 6:12 am

Help, I need rehab for my addiction to this game! Love everything about it. L.O.B.E. is great brain aerobics.

12 jesje18 June 14, 2008 at 6:59 pm

Love the game and agree that it’s very addictive.
The only thing I miss is a little competition. There is a team bonus, but it doesn’t really add anything to the game….just extra tokens.
Maybe a team effort like in Big Fish Slots or some individual competition?
But everyone should try this game!

13 Della June 15, 2008 at 8:54 pm

I am so addicted to this game and now it wont spin for me to play :0( is something wrong ??

14 moontje June 17, 2008 at 2:06 pm

Love this game

15 Mrsmsparks June 17, 2008 at 2:51 pm

Asa SAHM i need a game like this to exercise my brain on a daily basis!!! It’s is a highly addictive game, thats good for you!

16 simonmommie June 17, 2008 at 6:05 pm

I agree that this game is challenging and keeps your mind fresh. I also agree that it would be nice to make it more competitive, such as timed challenges or competing against others in the room like in BF slots.

17 Labbybeagle June 17, 2008 at 11:12 pm

I am enjoying this game so much. It has so many levels and
puzzles . It just keeps going on and really does make you think for a change. This game is very addictive.
Thank you Big Fish !

18 dee_50 June 18, 2008 at 3:06 pm

Was getting bored with Big Fish Slots and was disappointed to see that even in a chat room malicious rumours and viscious gossip takes place at the expense of other players…who just want to play and have fun!….Really, really……SAD..and rude. Hope they find THEIR happiness…I intend to keep on playing in the rooms and enjoying my games..not going anywhere~!..if people can’t just play these games and have fun and friendship, then they need to seek some professional therapy I suppose…
Have fun everyone…enjoy your day/night and thanks Big Fish for the new game….fantastic!!..

19 MrsDo June 19, 2008 at 12:12 pm

This is an absolutely wonderful game! You can play it for hours on end and never get bored. One of my favorite games is Hit the Dot. On more then one occassion I’ve been able to hit all of the dots without using all of the shapes. It would be nice if there was a special bonus for not using all of the shapes. Great job Big Fish! Keep up the good work!.

20 Doris June 20, 2008 at 9:21 am

Love this game! Especially the word games. I ran into a problem today on Genius Gridword; a word was left off the list to fill in the grid.
LIST GRID
ABOUT FAVOR
BOXES ABODE (WORD LEFT OUT)
LUNGE BOXES
STUNG LUNGE
FAVOR STUNG

My question is . . Did the rules change? Shouldn’t there be an alert if a “secret” word is in thhe grid?

21 GhostsofDeloro June 20, 2008 at 10:06 am

I love this game. Best new game on bigfish. Only problem I have is with the shape match one. The pink and green are so close in colour in the small versions that I have a hard time finding the right match(not so much on the bigger spaces, but certainly on the tiny spaces in the corners of the circles. Other then that, love all the games, especially the Happy Trails. All games are easy, but challenging.

22 emt1460 June 21, 2008 at 9:44 am

is anyone have troubles getting into the site this morning? I keep getting IE cant display the page. I also tried with firefox and its not working either.

23 Maryaary June 21, 2008 at 9:55 am

I love this game too but the puzzle with the little birds and butterflies is sooooo small I have to put my glasses on and still take more than one try to get it.

24 Joni June 21, 2008 at 10:28 am

I love this site and the games on it. L.O.B.E. is a wonderful new one.

I have been playing on this site and am a member since 2005 and in the last couple on months have become frustrated with some of the games. I am wondering if anyone else has
experienced if the higher up you get in tokens the harder it becomes to win?

Probably just me although I have seen other comment the same in some of the games.

Just curious….

25 clever47 June 21, 2008 at 10:34 am

Hi, i love this game i call it “brain sharpener”, it is a very challenger game, hope you will come up for new and more brilliant games, i think you should solve the freezing problem and every thing will be perfect.
thank you

26 Ghosts_of_Deloro June 21, 2008 at 11:01 am

emt1460, I’m also having issues getting into Bigfish Games. I have tried IE, Firefox and AOL Browser and keep getting the same message that the page can’t be displayed or, that the connection has timed out. I hope the site hasn’t closed down, I like the games on here too much. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to find another site to go to to play games. Maybe I’ll give Pogo a try.

27 christine June 21, 2008 at 11:11 am

i can’t get on the website either today. big fish apparently is having some big problems today. hope they can straighten them out soon as i am having serious withdrawal from lobe today!!!!

28 JdyAnn June 21, 2008 at 11:37 am

Great Game, very addicting. My 9 yr old grandson played it for hours and had a lot of fun while keeping his math, logic and spelling skills up. Will have to compete with him to use the pc this summer….lol

29 JdyAnn June 21, 2008 at 11:41 am

Can’t seem to get onto the website today, like emt1460, keep getting IE cant display the page.

30 ixoyea June 22, 2008 at 9:36 pm

i love thinking games and this is a great one.

31 jasmintoes June 23, 2008 at 12:33 am

I have easily become addicted to L.O.B.E. like a lot of others. I don’t have too much trouble with most of the games but since I hit ‘genius’ level on Mouse Untrap I have found a few games where their solution is wrong. I wrack my brain and try configuration after configuration and when I finally give up and click the button, what is supposed to be the right layout either skips some of the cheese or runs the mouse off the grid. Has anyone else had this problem or has Bigfish finally driven me me completely crazy so that I’m seeing things? lol

32 emt1460 June 23, 2008 at 1:32 am

Ghost you have to give pogo a try and if you join message me at emt1460 on the site and I will you a free pass for club pogo. Have been a member there is 99 and that was way before club pogo started.

33 j1999 June 23, 2008 at 12:58 pm

what is the highest rank that you can get to?

34 Claire June 24, 2008 at 1:00 pm

One of the best games for a while!! I love the challenges it gets your brain working!! Plus meeting lots of new people … AWESOME Bigfish !! You excelled this time!

35 rt4hire (Patti Walton) June 27, 2008 at 11:07 pm

This game is the best that BF offers….its a real brain teaser at times. Tana Blocks drives me nuts ’cause I so want to rotate the boxes!!! And my friends all agree that mouse trap runs with the top most unwanted picks. The chat is usually great (when you’re not concentrating on a puzzle, that is), although it seems the ION’s are abit slow on responding to reports of abusive and inappropriate persons…several of us had to report this particularly threatening person four to five times (EACH) before an ION booted him!

36 codcares June 28, 2008 at 11:22 am

jasmintoes I have had the same problem with mouse trap. I also find it hard to see the birds and butterflies well in the picture on. I guess my eyes are not what they use to be. Even the glass aren’t much help. I love all of the other games. As everyone says it is addictive and if you like puzzles this is the game for you. Hope all enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you Big Fish for a really great game with no boredom involved. Wonderful.

37 jasmintoes June 28, 2008 at 8:26 pm

codcares, I’m glad I’m not the only one having trouble with mouse untrap. I wrote to BF about it and they told me to send a print screen copy to them. so of course I haven’t had a bad game since! lol I agree the birds and butterflies should be bigger, my eyes are getting older too. but I’m too addicted to stop playing.

38 halfacup June 29, 2008 at 8:11 am

I too enjoy LOBE. However, in Logic Line, has anyone besides me noticed that the girls are always after the guys in the lineup? I automatically put all the girls on the right and the guys on the left and THEN solve the puzzle. Who wrote these puzzles, some guy who is always stuck behind a gal in the lineup for the outhouse?? lol Just kidding. Great game but I would like to see the girls at the FRONT of the line for a change.

39 Cherubaby June 29, 2008 at 10:12 am

Wow just tried the new LOBE game and sure am getting addicted already…lol..i find the bird n flower pictures a bit too small too tho..wtg BigFish!!

40 rabbitandkitty June 29, 2008 at 9:38 pm

i love alot of the games on here,but didnt think for one second you could release a very addictive one.i love lobe its fantastic,just made rank prodigy today,how many more ranks are there.only problem ive found is that game seems to freeze for few seconds but if u sit patiently it un freezes so u can carry on.

41 Bob June 30, 2008 at 11:00 am

Ive found if you click next ad on top right it unfreezes the games.
These are very addictive.More Please.

42 MrsB June 30, 2008 at 4:47 pm

If you’re having a hard time seeing the flowers and birds pictures, change the resolution on your monitor while you play. I found that if I set it for the smallest, it blows up the game large enough that it fills almost the whole monitor screen!

43 E AKA pantha2k5 June 30, 2008 at 7:01 pm

tip for anyone having a hard time with mouse untrap… u all notice how the directions are lined up at the start, right? Try using each direction IN ORDER and it should work every time

44 charliesmithchel July 1, 2008 at 2:30 am

Great game – yes – but not when youve been stuck with a blank chalkboard for 2 days – every time I log on I get taken back to the mouse untrap genius I choose and then get given a blank chalkboard

45 Irish1951 July 1, 2008 at 2:38 pm

I am enjoying LOBE, but get very frustrated when it comes to winning the points at the end and find the game freezes and you don’t win the points.

47 rginger July 2, 2008 at 10:45 am

Love the game but don’t understand how to play the mouse and cheese game. Wish someone would explain where to put the directional signs. When I get that part of game I just give up because I’m lost. Please Big Fish explain that to me.

48 MsBB July 2, 2008 at 6:43 pm

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve seen a tip that the position of the arrows and / redirectors for the mouse and cheese should be used in the order they start. I haven’t had one to try it one since I saw the tip.

49 bj2007 July 2, 2008 at 8:53 pm

Great game Ijust love playing it thanks bigfish games

50 charliesmithchel July 3, 2008 at 2:47 am

It works – but Ive now been stuck for 4 days with a blank chalkboard – no sign of it clearing of big fish replying to my emails – although they have acknowledged that theyve got it.

51 MsBB July 3, 2008 at 11:12 am

Mouse and cheese tip has worked 2 times for me – so try it.

charliesmithchel: have you cleared your browser cache? That solves lots of lockup problems.

letters: C,C,C,J,M,M,M
Answer words: Muumuu, Juice, Comic
would never have figured this one out !!!

54 charliesmithchel July 4, 2008 at 2:13 am

msbb – prob was with big fish – theyve sorted it now thanks

55 itsme07 July 4, 2008 at 10:01 am

MsBB thanks for the tip regarding size of screen for quick pics, I used it a few times and got used to the “sequence”, do not need to use that trick as often…would not do genius level as was truly frustrating.

E AKA pantha2k5 you must be a genius ;-) thank you for that tip, mouse untrap was my worst “failure”. Gracia!!!

Judy thanks for the tri words tip, have not run into that yet…

MsBB thanks for the ciphrase, I keep worrying about the vowels and how they work and get nowhere. Love the rooms where people help or just supply answers as they find them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Wish you all luck as you scramble.

56 Judy July 4, 2008 at 12:47 pm

Itsme07….your welcome, I tried for 1/2 hour to figure it out, then went to “Show Me” to get the answer.

57 Michelle July 4, 2008 at 1:18 pm

I have tried the mouse and cheese tip but never know how to place them so I just hit show me. I am so addicted top this game.

58 Roz July 4, 2008 at 3:26 pm

I’m a high school math teacher and I put LOBE up on the smartboard for them to play. They love it and I’m hooked too. If you get stuck on a Triwords puzzle, you can go to http://www.ssynth.co.uk/~gay/anagram.html change “limit each solution to” 3 words and un-check one letter solutions. I don’t tell my students about it, but each person will have different strengths and weaknesses so I use this when I get stuck.
