Take note of the latest article from Big Fish Games about the launch of Big Sea Games. It goes over day-by-day steps you can do to prepare for the launch so that your transition will go smoothly. Most important from that article is this, the timeline for the actual launch day:
Tuesday, August 18, 2009:
- 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM Pacific Time – The countdown begins. Enjoy the final hours of the Big Fish Game Community website or the Game Community Beta. This is also your last chance to register an account. After this, if you want to play on Big Sea Games, you will be placed on a wait list. Remember, if you have multiple accounts, sign in to the account that has the game progress you want and play one last game.
- 9:00AM Pacific Time – Both the Big Fish Game Community and the Game Community Beta will go offline. Make sure to follow our progress on Facebook!
- Currently we expect the change over to take no more then 5 or 6 hours. Once the site is up you will be able to reach it at www.bigseagames.com
- Make sure to update your bookmarks when you arrive at your new home!
See you on Big Sea Games!
This answers a lot of the questions I’ve been getting lately about what time on the 18th we’ll be able to play. Given that the changeover will take no more than 5-6 hours, you can probably safely check around 3pm PST/6pm EST, though the site may be available before that if you must must must be one of the first online.

Yes, I think I must, must, MUST be one of the first ones!!! :)
cant wait for the 18th plz could some1 tell me what the change over be in the UK England thanks hope to see u all in seafish (jansbags)
Awwwwwwwwwww but that will be my bedtime coz *thinks* I am 8 hours ahead of Pacific time… so I have to wait til the 19th !!!
Oh lordy can’t wait. Those 5-6 hours down time will be murder!
LOL BET ITS LURE WHO WILL BE THE FIRST ONE that is if she aint on pogo
What time will it be available for cst (central time)?
For those of you who need help converting time zones, google it. There are a ton of web sites that will do the math for you.
dee: while I may be among the first to know when the site’s up and online, I’ll probably be here updating the web site (and BadgeHungry) mostly with a window open to one of the games that I can switch to when I’m not busy. :) Haven’t decided what I want to play first, though.
crkey Pacific Time is four hours behind Central Time.
6AM PT =10AM CST
Lure – thanks for posting this info – lots of confusion still as to gamer preparation for play. When info shows here its official
I’ll be right there with Debi, I also think I must, must, MUST be one of the first.
jane I have read in the BFG forums that Pacific Time is 8 hrs behind England.
or England is 8 hrs ahead of Pacific Time time.
Have a Great Weekend!
(Crossing my fingers the transition goes smoothly for Big Fish/Big Sea)
I was slowly typing away when Lure posted did not mean to sound like a smarty pants —Have a Great One!
Actually 6:00 am pst = 8:00 am cst I live in IL and my aunt lives in CA…she is always 2 hours behind us.
Can’t wait for the big day!
I live in ohio so we are est and I have a friend who lives in england she 5 hours ahead of my time
Thank you for time info.
If you live in AZ or IN, you are really messed up with the time — don’t ask me what time it will be in those places, cuz it always confuses me! lol
melonball i am in queensland and 6pm on the 18th will be 8am on the 19th – hope that helps a little
found this site hope it helps – http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/custom.html?sort=0
it tells you the time all over the world at the time you are now
Thanks for the correction Lori – I was computing my time EDT 3 hrs ahead of PT (BFG time) and my sisters CT one hour behind me- that equaled four in my mind. Should have computed from her time. Sorry for the misinformation.
TWO more days!
I have my BFG bookmarked. I was wondering if the same bookmark will work or is it a new site.
Merry Molly: your bookmark will work for a while (they’ll have a prominent link to the new site probably forever), but once the site is launched you’ll want to bookmark bigseagames.com.
Thanks Lure. Well it’s finally here. I remember crabbing about the new site not being on this last winter. Time does fly though. I am so hyped, can’t wait.
one more day folks
Kinda like a long driving trip we took as kids lol ( dating myself) are we
there yet are we are we? lol
I live in israel, what time will I be able to play? plz if anyone can answer to this, ty.
it will be around mignight in cet so isreal would be 1 am
to bad cant stay up that late
I used to always get confused on time differences…somehow, they stick in my head now…lol
Tomorrow is the BIG SEA DAY!!!! can’t wait! What to play first is the big question!
Lure,
Are you going to change the name of this site or leave it as it is?
Turks: Haha, I think I’ve answered that question in the comments of every post I’ve made in the past month. :P
I’ll be leaving this site the same as it is. A lot of people know this site by name and to make sure everyone knows where to go to find the best info, it’ll stay bigfishgamer.com.
LMAO!!!! Have been on Big Fish today and have run into a whole bunch of people who have no clue the site is changing tomorrow. Can’t wait!!!!!
how can i unlock to fairway solitaire THE SİLVER SPOON ??WHAT İ HAVE TO DO?
AMM is right so have I like in team bingo and shape shifter
Thank you for the answer joyce, I will defo stay up!! lol can’t wait!!
Thank you jackdragon the web site was very helpfull to me as I liv in uk
To answer those who were wondering if the big fish bookmark would still work I would imagine there will be a permanent link across. My bookmark for big fish games is still the old http://www.ionthunder.com link and it automatically goes across – and its 2 or 3 years since ion thunder was absorbed into big fish
As usual it would seem that they have misunderestimated how long it will take them to do something. lol Only question I have is why did they have to take it down at all.
Stupied new Big Fish Games won’t allow me to sign in. My ISP is no longer the same as when I joined. Won’t even allow me to join as a new member because “email address sounds familiar”! Back to Pogo.
Is anyone else having problems signing in? I click on the new web site and it just hangs…
When will the games be up again?
why can “t I get in game site trying for 4 hours and nothing is a lousy way to start new game site
Well………what an experience I’ve had with the NEW BigSea games, ugh. What a disappointment. I cannot believe they DO NOT have any Lightening Bingo games AT all. OMG, bingo has been the mainstay of any gaming site i’ve played on the last 12 years. There is no way to see where your friends are on line, you can see them come and go but that’s it folks. Lure, sorry for your problems on your double accounts. Luckily I did not have but one and I was ALL there. Lots of glitches, but worked through it and ppl on friends list have never heard of. Hope all gets straightened out SOON.

I am soooooo disappointed. I’ve played Riddle O’ Day one time on Thursday night and since then, I can’t even get into any of the games. It lists hundreds of people playing in the game rooms, don’t know how they got in cause I can’t. Does anybody know when they will get this straightened out?
Thanks.
have been playing on bigsea games every day since the 19th-great games-will be even better when bingo is back on-have aquir’d lots of tokens—very disappointed today to find i cant get back in–what happened? the new lightng 21 & solitaire are great, keep up the good games & good luck.
