Tried to play the demo. When I opened it there is just a blank white screen. I'm using Windows 10.

Hi Everyone,
If you are having problems getting the game to work as it should, we highly recommend visiting the Big Fish Games Help pages as they are always the quickest way to get technical problems resolved. Here are a few suggested help articles that have helped past players correct various types of problems:
Game Crashing, Freezing, or Blank Screen
Game Compatibility
Run Game as Administrator
If you are not able to get a game working properly using the information in our Big Fish Games Help articles, please get in touch with the Customer Support Team. It would also be helpful if you could state what system you are playing the game on (i.e. PC, MAC or Mobile), so we can provide the most appropriate support as quickly as possible.
*Finally, please reserve this thread for tech issues only. If you are looking for game play assistance (i.e. hints and tips), the best thing to do is to start a new thread in the game's Forum by clicking on 'Create New Discussion.'

Hello zahorb and Lisa_41,
I understand there are some display issues and performance issues while playing the game. Both of these sorts of troubles can have similar causes, so let's go over some troubleshooting to see if we can get things working better.
If a game is having trouble displaying its graphics properly, this can cause a blank screen or performance issues resulting from the game not being able to effectively or efficiently open up its files. We can address these potential causes by making sure the game has the best resources and permissions available for it. Steps to try out for these cases can be found here:
Run Game as Administrator
Game Crashing, Freezing, or Blank Screen
For our Windows 10 players specifically, the following article has some additional tips:
Windows 10
Should these tips not resolve the described issues, please contact our Technical Support Team. You're also welcome to PM one of our Moderators with any questions that may remain. We'll do whatever we can to help.

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for all the additional details. Since it sounds like this may be related to Windows 10 not necessarily getting along well with the game, let's try out the steps from the following articles to see if they help get things better:
Uninstall and Reinstall a Game
Windows 10
As for the free trial showing up as expired upon first installation, pennmom36, that generally indicates something went wrong during the download of the trial. Our best bet in these situations is to reinstall the trial following the uninstalling tips from above and then redownloading the trial.
Download a Trial Game
If the issues continue after trying out these tips, please let our Technical Support Team know. PMs to our Moderators are also welcome, so feel free to send one with any questions that remain. We're happy to help however we can.

Thanks for the info, and it did indeed install the full playable demo on the second attempt. Since you've been working way too hard lately,  's are on the house. (psst: just don't let the  get to it first)
ps can we get some new emojis, the gopher wants to retire and the  emoji retired in 1970-something

Hey pennmom36,
Glad everything worked out with the trial version! The drinks are appreciated, by the way, and they're extra appreciated if that cherry in the glass means it's a Manhattan. Maybe can even join in for a drink! Retirement may not be in the cards right now, but everyone needs a vacation from time to time.
As the other emote, c'mon now. Let's give a chance.
