There is a group of people who have come together to petition Big Fish to add some interesting improvements to Riddle O’Day. We’re pretty sure that their efforts will fall on deaf ears, however you’re more than welcome to view and sign the petition to Big Fish to help them get their message across.

i don’t understand what the big deal is. 3/4 of the people who play this game don’t even really play it; they go in and immiediately ask the room for the answer to their riddle; which ruins it for everyone else because now when they get that question, they don’t have the fun of figuring out the answer. i think that before bigfish does anything about adding more creatures to the game, they ought to figure out a way to make it so the answers can’t be typed into chat. it’s pointless to go into a game and then have everyone else play it for you.
also, the game is riddle ‘o day, which means you get one riddle a day, not 2 or 3, otherwise it would be called riddleS o’ day. i honestly think there are bigger issues in the world than how many gnomes or unicorns you can get in an online game. not worth getting up in arms and signing a petition over. people need to learn to be happy with what they’ve got and not moan and complain over every little thing. i realize change doesn’t happen on its own, but i figure that if you’re going to add your name to a petition, it ought to be something of importance, not some online game , hosted on a free site that no one has to pay to belong to, and one that; if taken seriously by bigfish; would result in the game changing completely from it’s original format of one riddle a day with a few fun extra things popping up.

well the way i see it is if you dont like being in rooms where people help other people out then mabey you should find an empty room to go into
Lure 05.30.08 at 7:52 pm
Part of the appeal of this game is the shared bonus tokens you can receive when someone answers the riddle correctly. Helping others to get their riddle helps you get tokens if the treasure chest is large enough. It’s one of the main reasons I created the answers page.
Mind you, Big Fish did add a new creature to the game after the first release — the wisp — so they’re not entirely ignoring community gamers’ comments. A lot of people would like to see more creatures, more often, but that may not be what the developers, marketing, or the project managers had in mind for the game.
I guess only time will tell!
Larry 05.31.08 at 9:31 am
I think Georgia Protest too much.
We all know Georgia as the “cheat police” in Bigfish games.
Didnt Georgia just do the same as we all have done. By adding her comments here she just counterdicted herself on what we all did by signing a petition. Also isnt she moaning and groaning about her so called “Cheat”.
“it ought to be something of importance, not some online game ” didnt she just write 2 paragraphs about online games?
I believe georgia thrives on going from room to room jumping on others for helping others out with the riddle.
Just my two cents on this.
jollylolly 05.31.08 at 9:32 am
hi i would like to say to this to georgia——i am very ill and i go into riddle to try and solve the riddle before i ask for help—and its good to know that there r people who will help you and the chat and the comments make it a pleasureable time— i find it helps me thru my day and i know there are other people in the room who suffer too and like me enjoy their time in there —-i cant thank the chat room enough for their help and comments i enjoy it all—-i would like to see more creatures though it would help—–but i say to georgia if you dont like how they play it dont go there because there are an awful lot of people who do like it as you can see by the number of people who go there everyday
georgia 05.31.08 at 10:57 am
i’m not talking about the people who try to get the riddle and can’t, and therefore ask for help. i was refering to the people who ask the second they get their riddle, without even trying to figure it out on their own, and then leave right away because they don’t actually want to play the game, they just want the tokens.
i’m all for helping when it’s needed. but i also think that the point of a riddle is to solve it, not walk in, get the answer from someone else, then leave right away.
Larry; i have never gone room to room jumping on anyone. in fact, i often shut the chat off as soon as i see someone asking for help, so as to avoid seeing the answer to a riddle that i haven’t gotten yet. sometimes i’m looking at the game screen and don’t see someone asking for the answer until i see the answer itself when i look over at chat again, so i can’t always avoid knowing the answers to riddles i haven’t solved yet. also, my screen name isn’t georgia. i use georgia on blogs and forums sometimes, but never on game sites. so if there’s a “cheat police” georgia, it isn’t me.
as far as writing two paragraphs about online games; i’m giving an opinion about the petition, not signing one. my point was that i personally don’t feel like the game itself is important enough to sign a petition over. the comments section is for comments; so i commented.
i understand that game sites are an important part of people lives. i also understand that a lot of people go there just to chat and visit and that’s part of their relaxation and getting-away-from-it-all. but i also have to consider that there are two sides to the coin. some people don’t want to know the answers, but still want to participate in chat, and that’s impossible to do at the same time when the answers are being given in public chat.
just as we should understand that some people genuinely need help solving the riddles; we must also understand that some people don’t want to know the answers and enjoy the fun of figuring it out on their own.
Larry 05.31.08 at 11:36 am
Gracemoody? sounds just like her.
anyway you change your story as you wanted Bigfish to change the chat where as people could’nt fill in the answers.
I did get a kick out of that suggestion as that would be censorship. IE: FIRE; now if they did do what you suggested then no one could every type help there is a FIRE in my house. I could go on and on about the different answers, but will keep that short.
Maybe you are not Gracemoody in the rooms but you sure sound like her or her twin sister.
Mary 05.31.08 at 7:11 pm
I was reading the comments and I have to say I am very annoyed at the comments Georgia has left. How dare you speak for the rest of us. I enjoy the chat in the rooms and I also enjoy helping people with the riddles whether they try to solve or just want the answer. What difference does it make. You are entitled to your opinion but don’t speak for the rest of us. people in these rooms talk about a variety of things and have made good friendships. So it isnt just about adding more to this game its connecting with people. Yes it would be nice to have different things added and some suggestions have been really interesting. Stop being so negative and enjoy the companionship that this game has brought to many people even if they don’t want to solve the riddle themselves, people enjoy giving help to those who ask for it.
Sherry 05.31.08 at 10:11 pm
I have read both the petition requests and the comments made here and cannot help but wonder about some of the petitioners. It seems to me that a lot of people are trying to impose “politics” into something that was created for the purpose of amusement and relaxation only.
This is not to say that improvements can’t be made or shouldn’t be made, but to have so much controversy over the matter really seems out of place.
It seems to me that since we normally consider ourselves to be a free choice society, that instead of not allowing help with the riddles, we let each person decide on their own. If they ask for help and someone is willing to do so,fine. If a person chooses to chat for social interaction, fine.
Why does this have to become such an important issue? Have we nothing better to do? Do we each not have a “life” that needs more of our energy and attention? If not, maybe we should consider volunteer work or something and find an existence outside of Cyber Space.
Linda Bartlett 06.01.08 at 8:56 am
Love to play but a bit boring, can the page be changed and more items added or even have levels. Hubby and I play ever day along with slots and unwell mel
Thanks

Myrna 06.01.08 at 12:47 pm
I love BFG and Riddle O’Day. I go to play every day. I have come across negativity and bad sportsmanship, but you find that anywhere you go in life. Instead of getting real upset or angry, do as I do - ignore the person. I won’t let that intefere with having fun and chatting with my new friends. It seems some are taking this way to seriously. This is a game room, meant for fun and relaxation. We all just need to chill out and enjoy. Isn’t that what this is about? Games = enjoyment. Let’s just do that - enjoy the time we have playing and chatting and making new friends.
georgia 06.01.08 at 2:00 pm
holy moly people !
mary; at no point in my comment did i even imply that i was speaking for everyone else. i merely pointed out that some people don’t want to know the answers; and i think it’s safe to assume that that is an accurate statement. i also did say that i understand how important game sites are to some people who use them to socialize.
larry; i wasn’t suggesting they change the chat to filter out answers, but maybe a private chat area so you could send answers freely in private to those who need help so that others who don’t want to know don’t have to mute the chat and can participate in it without worrying about seeing the answers.
we shouldn’t have a one sided consideration. everyone seems to be arguing for only those who like to give answers and get help and no one seems to be considering those who don’t. all i’m doing is pointing out the plain and simple fact that not everyone likes to play the game that way and seeing as how the chat is public, they have no choice but to either mute the entire chat, or know the answers. going to another room only works if there is an empty room; but then you can’t participate in chat. “whispering” or private chatting the answers to those who want help would solve the problem all the way around. helpers can give answers and people who don’t want help don’t have to see them. everyone wins.
Larry 06.01.08 at 5:45 pm
georgia says: “i think that before bigfish does anything about adding more creatures to the game, they ought to figure out a way to make it so the answers can’t be typed into chat.”
then georgia says: “larry; i wasn’t suggesting they change the chat to filter out answers, but maybe a private chat area so you could send answers freely in private to those who need help so that others who don’t want to know don’t have to mute the chat and can participate in it without worrying about seeing the answers.”
hmm me thinks she should reread her comments.
Lure 06.01.08 at 7:33 pm
Something I have found, that I hope helps those of you who are annoyed by the chat scrolling so quickly when people ask for the answers to their riddles: playing after 11pm EST in a regularly-named room seems to yield absolutely NO people trying for and/or getting their riddles. You won’t get the shared bonus, but the chatting is good and won’t be interrupted very often, if at all.
Margaret 06.02.08 at 5:11 am
I play this game on a daily basis, Why? not because it’s the most exciting game going on, but out of all the games, the chat’s in this game and mainly in some rooms more than others, there is comradery, sincerity, trustworthiness, friendships and mostly people who want to have a good time. Also, to some people this companionship may be all someone has and could be the highlight of their day. The reason there is so much chat is because, let’s be frank, the game itself is boring, but what makes it so popular is the chat itself, people looking forward to catching up with on another and to say signing this petition is not of any importance, you (Georgia) are saying that because it isn’t of any importance to you, but to the people who signed it, it’s important to them because some of us need a little more excitement in our life. It’s a good game, but to the people who signed it believe it could be a better game. It’s not for you to judge whether this petition is of any importance anyway.
You chose to make a comment in this section about people giving answers away too freely, why is that so important? It’s important to you obviously, you have made it a point to defend yourself several times so far, because it’s important to you. Well, this petition is important to people who signed it.
One thing I don’t understand is why you made such a big deal out of it any way, to quote you “people need to learn to be happy with what they’ve got and not moan and complain over every little thing. i realize change doesn’t happen on its own, but i figure that if you’re going to add your name to a petition, it ought to be something of importance, not some online game , hosted on a free site that no one has to pay to belong to”.
Well if this is your opinion about this game and the people on it, than why is it of any importance to you if answers are given, after all your not paying for it either.
Zelda 06.02.08 at 8:22 am
Just curious Georgia,if you do not want to know “what is going on” in Riddle of the Day, why are you at the Big Fish Gamer site?
I agree, there is more to worry about outside of Big Fish games, but perhaps that is why we are all there and keep going back. Have you looked at the player numbers? I am grateful I have never run into the negativity described here, it is sometimes the chat that makes Riddle worthwhile. Perhaps Big Fish could create a room for the purists.
It is the “deaf ears” from Big Fish and the lack of a true response re: problems with games, that is problematic. Otherwise, the rest is “gravy”.
mionns 06.02.08 at 7:43 pm
My goodness…life is too short to get twisted over a game. Play or don’t…simple solution to me.
teddi1 06.02.08 at 11:58 pm
After reading all of the comments posted here I have decided to put my 2 cents worth in. Let me start (georgia) by openly , publicly admitting I am one of the first to give out the answer to a riddle and I will continue to do so. I also help people with computer related problems, and that too I will continue to do. If I may remind people a petition is to give a voice to those of us that have issues or problems. No one is ever obligated to sign a public petition. As for the public vs private chat….well we need not bother bigfish with that because that is why we have a whisper button. I am a very long supporter and player of the great games at bigfish (over 10 years) and I have never heard such negativity has I have here. I also go to the same room all the time for the various games. I have developed very real friendships with the people I have met in the rooms. I also would like to say that riddle o day game itself is boring to the average person but I play ONLY for the chat and and spending time with friends. I do have a life and I really don’t need any paltry tokens I may get as a result of playing the game. What I would suggest is that bigfish design a room for people like you (georgia) who do not chat and have no personal contact with anyone about anything, and that way everyone is happy….with or without answers.
Thankyou

vijay 06.03.08 at 5:52 am
If georgia feels the game is so umimportant for a petition then perhaps she should go play elsewhere or maybe she can do something constructive and petition for things which she feels need changing and which she has done nothing about.
I think this is very petty behaviour you dont have to read chat when you are doing your puzzle and since i dont think she chats that much perhaps she would be better off in a room by herself.
I detest people who just complain about others yet cant do anything constructive. As for doing things about stuff which is more important how does she know i and others havent does she know us. This is a example of a poison pen annie hiding behind a pseudonym. In attacking the petition georgia has demonstrated her pettiness she can play other games she does not need to play this.
Memya 06.03.08 at 8:28 am
Geez everyone you are only playing a game for fun. Georgia if you don’t like what you see here on Bigfish then go play somewhere else. I for one like to chat and have fun with the other players. You need to take a chill pill and have fun. There is enough hate and discontentment in the Worl today to worry and b!&ch about a game!!
Larry 06.03.08 at 12:11 pm
May I suggest that Maybe Georgia (Noname,Gracemoody) that you should start your own petition, see how many you get to sign it. Then maybe you will know how many people would be with you.
georgia 06.03.08 at 1:27 pm
zelda; i didn’t say anything about not wanting to know what’s going on. i said i didn’t want to know the answers to riddles i javen’t solved yet.
larry; i am not gracemoody.
i do happen to enjoy the chat at bigfish. my point was that it’s hard to chat and not see the answers. i wasn’t saying that answers ought never be given; just that they don’t have to be given in main chat for everyone to see when some people would rather have the fun of solving the riddles themselves. it’s not so big of a deal that there was need to attack my opinion. and i have no problem with people who want to help or ask for help except that it takes the fun out of solving riddles when you’ve already seen all the answers. i figured there might be a happy medium for those who want the answers and those who don’t.
Amy 06.03.08 at 5:41 pm
Ok now I’ve read everything here and I agree with everyone else on the “Gerogia” issue(s).
Georgia, you have counterdicted yourself many times. You say you don’t want to see the answers, but enjoy the chat. Well in any of the main “named” rooms, alot of the chat is helping others who strive to get the riddle answers and wrack their brains to no end and then you see in the chat “HELP!!!” well obviously they haven’t just come in the room got riddle and said “I need help”….and I have yet to see anyone EXCEPT you complain about helping with the riddles. I have been in and out of all the Riddle rooms just checking things out and having fun with many many people and have made many friends in each of them. Yes there is one room I frequent due to close friendships and I have NOT seen anyone else complain about helping with the riddle answers.
You say you “shut chat off” so as not to see the answers to the ones you haven’t gotten yet…then how in the world do you make friendships? How do you chat with others?
And for your information when we help others with the answers that is how we create new friendships, I’ve seen in the chat so many times (and I’ve been in Riddle every single day since day #1) how ppl are so thankful for the help. You kill me I laff my butt off at you. You feel you need to speak for others? How? Why? Who promoted you to “Speaker of the Room”? I have yet to see anyone on this comment board back you up on this issue.
Plus if we were to give the ppl the help they need in psst..well then we’d be repeating ourselves time and time again, our game would be paused constantly and eventually possibly be timed out due to scrolling thru the names to psst the answer to the ones needing the help. So that is just pointless, don’t you think? I think everyone will agree with me on this. It is time consuming and rediculous.
You say:
“i honestly think there are bigger issues in the world than how many gnomes or unicorns you can get in an online game. not worth getting up in arms and signing a petition over. people need to learn to be happy with what they’ve got and not moan and complain over every little thing.”
First of all many ppl say how many they have had due to ppl asking them. And yes some ppl feel proud of themselves as to how many they have gotten. The petition is not to add more to see how many a person can get it is meerly for more entertainment is all. Just something a lil bit more excitment. Some people are ADD or ADHD and can’t sit for a period of time like some of us can and do get bored quicker, but they enjoy the chat the fun, the laffter and the company. Yes there are bigger issues in our world going on right now but this is something soem ppl feel they can help better ….its a start. And you say ppl need to not “moan and complain over every little thing”……what do you think you are doing???
Enuf said I think…….
Thanks for letting me voice my 2 cents
Rock on my Riddle Friends…..and keep helping those who need it and want it……TATERSHELLS!!!!
Sherry 06.03.08 at 5:54 pm
I half to put my 2 cents in worth
first of all I love the cheat page it helps me out a lot. if it wasnt for that I would not play the game at all
I am not smart like others so I need to cheat
sometimes the fairy land is so slow that u will fall asleep
so for others that love to cheat keep up the great work guys. cant help but some of us is cheaters
I am a cheater and proud of it.
Vicki 06.04.08 at 7:49 am
For the love of Pete Georgia, in one of your comments you said “my point was that i personally don’t feel like the game itself is important enough to sign a petition over”. If this game isnt that important then why are you in here continuing on and on and on trying to stir up folks?
Why not just drop it, everybody has their own opinion and not everybody is going to be happy all the time. And i look at it this way, if somebody wants to go into a room, ask for the answer and leave, thats their perogative.
Its just a game for goodness sakes. talk about bad sportsmanship…you definitely have that yourself.
If you dont wanna see answers then dont look at the chat when somebody says I need help, how hard is that?? And for the record, I have seen folks ask for help on a riddle, read the answer and when i got the riddle, I couldnt remember the answer to save my life, so unless you have a photographic memory, not everybody is going to remember every answer they see.
Sheesh, I declare.
Sandra 06.04.08 at 2:56 pm
Why does everyone keep entertaining
georgia? She is just looking for some excitement in her life by saying all of these thing. Just let her keep voicing her comments and not answering her and we keep playing our games.lol
inez 06.04.08 at 4:18 pm
Hi I would like to see just a couple more critters to make it a little more interesting
A great way to communicate with others for like myself unable to get out a lots
I am proud to be a player at Big Fish community games
Thank You for listening
Lola 06.05.08 at 2:49 am
I was in a room that was discussing this site and just came out of curiousity to see what “Bigfishgamer” was all about. This is really disheartenting to see that ONE person is causing such a commotion about something they claim is not really worth discussing or talking about. If those are your feelings why do you keep coming back here and reading every comment and posting repeatedly about the same thing.
I think most people can read something that the same persons says once and remember it. Seems to me that there is way more behind this behavior than somebody having W-A-Y to much time on there hands.
I, too, play “Riddle” every day. To me the best part of the game is after the riddle is solved, whether asking for help or being able to solve it on you own. I only go to one room now and the reason for that is the other rooms were talking very vulgar, telling dirty jokes, making really nasty remarks about the “unis” and “fairys”. If you want to waste so much of your time on a subject, I would pick that one. People can be so rude and hateful in some of the rooms it has kept me going back to the same room.
Many times I don’t “chat”, just play the game and congrats. to the winners. Other times I will chat. But if you want to fix something with making so many comments on here “Georgia” whom I’ve never met before, why not tackle the problem of people treating other people so hateful and not add to the problem.
I’m also on another site where you have to pay to play, and I like to keep coming back to Bigfish because of the people being so kind and helpful. I think alot of people come to this room because they know that there are kind and compassionate people in there that will help. What difference does it make if a few drop by just for the tokens. It’s not like you can take them to the mall and spend it like money, it’s for fun, that is the whole purpose of the site, have fun.
And I agree that the “Riddle” game could be more active on the screen, I think by people voicing their opinion about it just goes to show you how much they enjoy the game and would like more action. Nothing wrong with that. But there is something wrong with your reaction to their request. Something “personal” behind it maybe, don’t know, but seems a little fishy.
Keep up the good work with the games and improvements on the site. And thanks guys for being so helpful and taking the time to stop your chat to give others help. Sorry this got so long, but seems like some just don’t get it the first time around and have to come back for more. So, I figured I’d get it all out and have it be over. Hint, hint.
mswangs 06.05.08 at 7:14 am
Hi everyone,
Yo Big Fish, I love your games. For the most part most of them have a lot of action, but Riddles is a little slow.
The other day (all of us where chatting, lol Georgia), we came up with what we thought would be a good addition to the game.
How about adding in a Pixie. She could fly around the room & we would have to catch her. It really would “kick up the game a notch.” We really do need more critters to find, I sat in the dank, dark wet forest for 4 hours and only got two Gnomes & a ton of Faries & Wisp, oh yes, one Boggie.
Now come Big Fish “kick it up a notch.” If it wasn’t for “my room” having fun chatting & trying to see who could help other’s the fastest (yes, Georgia we make a game of the game), and disgusting how each one is doing with their health & other personal stuff, I would not be in there that often. I go everyday, check to see if “MY FRIENDS” are in there, yes it makes my day to have fun.
So Big Fish, pppppplllleeeeaaaasssseee add more critter’s.
Thank you for listening.
teakie 06.05.08 at 10:12 am
i agree with what mswangs said
Vicki 06.06.08 at 8:12 am
Yep I am with you, I was thinking about that same thing the other day, its so easy to catch the fairies and wisps, it would be neat to have something you gotta catch hehee
clogger034 06.06.08 at 8:31 am
I agree about adding some new creatures in the forest. Also it would be nice if some of the higher scoring critters would appear a little more often. All I seem to get is fairies and whisps….once n while a gnome or a boggart….rarely if at all tatiana or unicorn.
So I say along with the others throw in some fun critters to hunt down. By the way what is the red mushroom for? Does anything appear to activate it?
BBRM423 06.06.08 at 9:48 am
I agree with mswangs,need more action.
Bonnie 06.06.08 at 10:00 am
I love playing on big fish,the people are nice we chat a lot,and have fun,there are some rude people in some room’s i play in 1 room if i can get in,the people are friendly,i ask for help once on a riddle and we were accused of cheating the person was very rude about it.
i agree with other player’s we need more action on riddle of the day.
fweetie35 06.06.08 at 8:17 pm
i love to chat and give answers when asked for them, it really starts the chat process with that person. would like to see more critters or levels though. BIG FISH—YOU ROCK
Brirob 06.07.08 at 3:22 am
I think Big Fish games are great,but agree that Riddle O’Day needs some thing to give it a kick,if you are not chattin with people it gets soooooo borin waitin for something to appear.
It would be great to get some new critters going in there,I’m sure there are plenty of Aussies on here that play so why not put some of our animals on there as well,say a Kangaroo jumpin through that you have to chase before he disappears,or a Koala bear climbing the trees,it would be great to see this game turned up a notch.
Big Fish Games are the best,keep up the good work.
bostonbrat 06.07.08 at 6:51 am
I agree . Its only tokens but most of us love getting them. Please increase the amounts we are getting. Thank you
wasagagirl 06.07.08 at 5:53 pm
Hi all im not here to knock anyone …even georgia, she is after all entitled to her opinion
I just wanted to say i like the games but more than that i really enjoy the people in the rooms and all the chat.
some of the people in these rooms rely on big fish to give them contact with other people………Well hey all i can say is you have my respect big fish for making life a little easier for us folks out here in cyber world.
i moved from my birth country 7 yrs ago and big fish is an excellent way to keep in touch with my sister which i do most days and as a result of riddle and other rooms i have made new friends which i feel is pretty cool
by the way this is my gamer name and i dont mind people knowing it have fun people after all this is no practice this is the real thing be happy :)
dennis 06.08.08 at 2:57 am
whats all the fuss about!!! just play the game and enjoy
sg52 06.08.08 at 10:27 am
hi all i personally love bigfish games and the fun chats its so nice to be nice and help people out from time to time lifes too short i love solving riddles and helping those who are stuck and i know if i need help that my friends in big fish chat rooms wont hesitate to help me out thanks for that and thanks bigfish for hours of fun finally i too wouldnt mind seeing another couple of creatues in riddle just to spice it up a little thanks for listening.
Anny 06.08.08 at 10:49 am
I love Riddle but sometimes I need a little help and I know others do too. Someone asked for help in a room one day and I responded with the answer to a riddle. Another person got very upset with me and began to berate and curse at both me and the person who asked for help. I now use the whisper mode when I’m answering questions so that people who don’t want to know the answers can’t see them. It takes an extra 2 or 3 seconds to highlight the person’s name in the list then enter the whisper mode, and turn it off when you’re done.
louisecaldwell 06.08.08 at 3:58 pm
please put more critters and let them come out faster , gets bored waiting for them to come on out
cassy 06.09.08 at 5:15 am
More critters,and quicker would be gr8 guys,gets a bit boring waiting for fairies and wisps alone!
Jean 06.09.08 at 9:15 am
also would be nice for us older gals and guys to be larger or brighter for our poor old eyes
Jean 06.09.08 at 9:32 am
I just read all the comments about helping other players with the riddle, i need help at times also,and if big fish didn’t want other players to help others, why did they put all the answers for each month on,as you can get in the bigfishgamer?????If i can’t solve, i enjoy asking for help,as the other players are so willing to help which is nice.

I like trying to figure out the riddles, i work on them for 5 minutes or more if i cant figure it out i am glad people r nice enough to help out.. sometimes my brain dont work to good .. an if people ask for help an i know the answer an i am happy to help them out to..
i always go into one room an that is riddle lovers, there are very nice people in there an i like everyone of em..
so when people ask for help i will help if i know the answer, never know there chest just may be big enough to share with the whole room..

Yep Im 1 of the people mswang talks about. I visit the same room and we make games out of playing and give each other help (IF THEY ASK FOR IT).
Love this game and agree we need a couple of more creature. Have never seen a unicorn or boggett. We try to out last each other and see who can get the most gnomes etc.
To those whinging people….it is only a game.
GET A LIFE !
If you dont like who you are playing with, swap rooms
. I pay to play on POGO and come here for the free games. I am addicted to Riddle and the new game L.O.B.E.
Everyone is allowed their opinion but dont diss each other It aint cool.

I think the things that have to be improved with this game is make it easier to see hidden things. I have bad eyes and usually by the time I see something and go to try to click it its either to late cause I cannot move my mouse to it in enough time or its faded so much it will not click. Increase the amount of times one can play per day. Maybe make it once or twice a day. Also do something re chest totals last week I got the same riddle 3 str8 days and the combined total was no more then 2000. As for the help with riddles I think it is good but like some stated already maybe try to do some sort of control so a person when they first come in do not get riddle and ask for help right away. If you cannot spend more then a few minutes trying to figure it out you should not play. Also when clicking on creatures that appear and disappear perhaps do something so lets say you click a wisp the first one is the regular amount and if u are still around for its next appearance its multiplied by 2, then 3 but once u leave the room and play next time for lack of a better term it goes back to times 1.

the rooms at Big Fish are great ways to make new friends and sometimes you get a bad apple in the bunch. Don’t forget that you can report them and the people at Big Fish will remove them as they don’t want people not to be respected.sorry Anny that you had that problem with someone.
defromga 06.10.08 at 1:49 pm
Hello again. This time I am speaking the the comments that Georgia has made, which is none of my business or anyone elses . But if you don’t want to know the answers or to chat or to see chat you have a button the hide and please feel free to use it . I am very sorry if your feeling got hurt or people joked around, but that is the best way to stop your problem. I am a member of Big Fish and I enjoy the time and mf’s I have made.
georgette 06.10.08 at 4:07 pm
Please people it’s just a game and there is a site that all of us can go to ,to get the answers if we want to,as far as helping each other that’s what life should be all about and bigfish keep up the good work with your games they are great.
Lisa 06.11.08 at 2:56 pm
Come on people .. Didn’t your parents teach you all to “play nice” .. While I am here I would like to agree with all the others that have said .. add some more things cause the game is slow and boring after you solve the riddle . I to am a daily visitor to the game but after about half an hour I usually leave as I am bored .

please update this game, I have been playing since this one rolled out and never have I seen a unicorn. this game is slow and boring
Kathy Fuller 06.12.08 at 6:17 pm
I have noticed the room size has really dropped lately due to boredom. People come in when there is a new riddle but don’t stay long , because it is boring. Is there any way to add maybe trolls, pegasus, ogre, fairy king, just to name a few options. I think it would make game more interesting. Also if you could enlarge picture to give more room for more critters. Thank You for your time.

Lynn 06.12.08 at 11:47 pm
Sorry, but I agree. I come for the riddles and stay to search the forest. I’ve tried to stay for long periods but only find the 4 lower things. Never anything exciting. I keep coming back hoping for more, but don’t stay long.

Lori H 06.13.08 at 10:49 am
I totally agree with the people who would like more creatures,,,Some time it does get boring,,,I have noticed that sometimes when I come in after the riddle, that it is a long time in between creatures,,, I usually don’t stay to long in the forest cause it is kinda boring most times,,,I never asked for help with riddle unless I have been trying for a minute or two, because that is one of the things that make this game interesting,,,
Lola 06.14.08 at 7:28 pm
I just read my comments about some the game rooms a few up from this one. I have to apologize to alot of people, sometimes what I’m trying to say and what I type don’t come out just right. I didn’t realize how harsh my comments sounded.
The rooms are really great and that is what attracted me to BF to begin with, especially in “Riddle”. I don’t make alot of comments but do read alot of them. Like anyplace your not going to agree with everyone, how they speak about something or their terminology, I didn’t mean for it to sound like “ALL” the rooms are like this. It would be maybe a handful of people out of all the rooms combined.
What impressed me most is the friendships formed while waiting for a “critter” to appear, or the information you found out about other games that made you go play them for the first time. Or just laughing at the fun banter going on.
If something is said that I don’t approve of, it is my option to find another room or turn the chat off. Which I have done on occasion.
Like I said, if I offended anyone, I really do apologize. I know we are all here for the same reason and that’s to have fun. I hope anyone that I offended with my remarks will forgive me. Thank you.

here is an open letter from bigfishgames about Riddle O’day Game and petition.
Riddle Petition
From: Charlie (charlie@bigfishgames.com)

To: hans_415@hotmail.com
Good Morning Larry,
First, let me apologize for any delay in getting back to you. I have been very busy lately with getting our Community Support team up and going and it’s been a bit hectic.
In regards to the petition, please know that we are fully aware of it and have not ignored it in the slightest. In fact, if you recall in the last month, we have made a couple of positive changes to Riddle. We just recently added more riddles to the game and we also decreased the amount of time between creatures appearing. These changes were made because of feedback that we received from our awesome customers, such as you. However, just because there may be no news about updates to our games, doesn’t mean we aren’t hard at work improving them. There are just some things that we can’t openly discuss at times. But please rest assured that we listen to EVERY comment that comes our way.
As far as not seeing moderators lately, this is actually being addressed by me personally. I am currently in the middle of growing our support team to fully accommodate our ever growing community. I can assure you that you will start seeing our moderators more and more each day as I am constantly adding to this team and improving the overall experience for every single one of our customers.
I hope that I have set your mind at ease a bit. As I said, I can assure you that the Game Community is far from being ignored. In fact, it is quite the opposite around here. Keep an eye out for Michelle’s newsletters and the news pages as we are always announcing more exciting and new things all the time!
Thank you for being such a wonderful and concerned customer. If you are interested, I would love to include you as one of our beta testers for future projects we may have. Please let me know if you would be interested.
Yours Truly,
Charlie
My open response to Bigfish
Dear Charlie and Bigfishgames,
We do apperciate all that you have done to improve the Riddle O’Day Game. We also apperciate the response that we got from you although it was rather slow. We do realize you have bigger fish at times to fry before you can fry the smaller ones.
We all wait with abated breathe to see what is new and exciting in the Riddle O’Day game and other games that are being worked on.
Bigfish is an awesome site, it just seems sometimes that we are being ignored and like children we need to be Nurtured at times.
Thanks for the response Charlie
Larry

give more mysticial things on riddle-0-day not very interesting any more
birdieby 06.16.08 at 11:58 am
other than thing up above site is very good
Anna Bernstein 06.16.08 at 10:36 pm
Why is the game so slow? I have been playing for 6 months now and have never seen the Queen or the UNI. I have had 1 boggart. Only fairies, wisps and gnomes. I leave after about an hour to play any of your other games free and ones I have downloaded because they are so much better. When will this be updated???????
Lure 06.17.08 at 5:56 am
Anna,
Are you playing with your sound on? The gnomes, boggarts, and unicorns all make a rustling noise before they appear. It makes it a lot easier to find them if you can hear ‘em coming!
pete 06.22.08 at 6:33 am
what a load of crap georgia spouts the best remarks were made earlier JUST LEAVE HER TO HER OWN DEVICES AND JUST IGNORE HER WHO KNOWS SHE MAY EVEN GO AWAY THEN !!!!!
Bonnie 06.22.08 at 10:18 am
I love playing riddle of the day,but it is getting boring set too long waiting for thing’s to pop-up,need more mystical creature’s,as for certain people arguing on line ,i get sick of it and go to another room,i was in a room the other day and this 1 girl was picked apart by everyone i felt bad for her but i kept my opinion to myself and left,i just enjoy big fish game’s,so thank you.
lisa lapinsky 06.22.08 at 3:10 pm
The gm is getting boring , special when all there is fairy’s n whisp all the time . Once in while there is a gmone , borratn… Please bring new things in to the gm …. That is why it is on the bottom 10 of the top 10 gms
Yvonne 06.22.08 at 4:20 pm
I love this game, but it is a little slow. Have not seen a unicorn since I have been playing. Got the Queen for the first time today. It is sad when people are ugly to one another in some of these rooms. On the whole I have been lucky to play with alot of very funny and nice people.
Cheryl Johnson 06.23.08 at 8:54 am
Needs more things to look for - too slow to sit and have to stare at picture. Just a little more excitement would do the trick.
Phyllis 06.23.08 at 6:58 pm
please add more things to look for.It gets boring when things are so slow.Have been playing for about 3 months and have never even seen a unicorn.More things more often would really help the game.
rt4hire (Patti Walton) 07.19.08 at 11:45 pm
I enjoy Riddle O’ Day, its’ entertaining and slow enough to encourage some fun chat with alot of interesting & intelligent people from all over the world! I like to frequent two rooms in particular because I’ve come to know AND LOVE many special people (Rainbow & Mystical) that I now consider “MDF’s”. They often brighten my day by demonstrating characteristics that this day and age is unfortunately lacking…consideration, politeness & courtesy, comraderie, honesty, willingness to share openly, and last but certainly NOT least — caring for their fellow players! Most of the chatters have a great sense of humor as well (in fact I wish I could hear them chat sometimes in lieu of reading their comments!); they just crack me up!!!
As for those that have gripes about seeing answers, that’s what the ‘hide’ chat button is for. In addition, you can ‘mute’ any player who chats offensibly (in your opinion), otherwise the majority of BF players report anyone truly inappropriate. And as others have previously pointed out…you can always switch rooms!
Ok, enough said…LOL (almost). I do wish BF would add more creatures and a few surprises to the game to help break up the monotony? But overall I have to say KUDOS to BFG for the creation of a game that facilitates interesting chat along with game play! And while I’m at it, a big mmmwwwuuuaaahhh to all my BF friends—the bestest people I’ve encountered in a LONG, LONG time.
Kallie 07.20.08 at 6:22 am
Every morning I look foward to a new riddle,,I just wish you would get on the move with the game. Please put more creatures and a lil more often!…tyvm
allifm (Alli Wilkins) 07.20.08 at 9:15 am
I love Riddle O’Day!, but it has gotten so slow that all my friends are bailing out because it has gotten really boring. I wish BFG would speed it up a bit and add some new characters to the game. Please BFG, before there are no people left in there to play with.
kay teal 07.20.08 at 10:46 am
I agree with them. I love riddle of the day but lately it is so slow and boring. U need more creatures in there and go alittle faster. If something isn’t done soon there will be no one left to play.
lindaridder 07.20.08 at 4:45 pm
I agree that we need some more creatures. Cenataurs are always good. How about an enchanted frog prince?
qtmee444 07.27.08 at 9:08 am
I think the scenery should change when you get a certain item like the bogart or better. The sounds should be changed also:
Fairy should have a tinkerbell sound
Wisp should sound like air or wind
bogart should growl
Big Fairy should sound like when the chest opens
and the Unicorn can sound like what a horse does winney.
Angie 10.18.08 at 11:36 am
How about some different scenes in which to search out the creatures? Would be a great way for having levels to progress through.
clogger034 10.24.08 at 8:17 am
different scenery would be a plus; also different creatures. Ive asked this before but what does the red mushroom do besides being red?????? I haven’t seen a fairy queen in months. the wisps and fairies aren’t doing it for me folks………how about livening things up
snowyny 10.31.08 at 5:20 pm
I have been wondering just how long u have to sit and wait for something to show up?.. about ll I ever see are wisps & fairies..I’ve never seen anything else and I’ve been playing riddle of day, since it came out..its boring to sit for long waiting for anything to show up..I agree that maybe different backgrounds, or colors, anything but what’s already there.
Lure 10.31.08 at 9:03 pm
snowyny: I’d say if you’ve waited 15 minutes without seeing anything, you should leave and play another game. In my experience, you get wisps and gnomes every minute, boggarts a little more rarely, and so on and so forth.
I assume the reason BFG doesn’t add anything else is that they do not want to destroy the value of tokens. If everyone could get thousands of tokens, then they’d have to adjust the “cost” of raffle tickets as well.
