turning off time limit

[Post New]by dpdp on Aug 24, 09 7:20 AM
I need to find hidden object games for a handicapped person that has to play without a time limit. I thought the lottery ticket would be like that from what I read. The las vegas heist allowed us to turn off the time limit right away. I can't seem to do that in the lottery ticket. If you know how please tell me. I also wonder will the time limit shut off in the lottery ticket after find all the keys? Finally if you know of any hidden object games that allow the clock to be turned off, please tell me their names. Thanks so much!

The other Mystery PI games turn off the time limit (or turn it back on again) by going to Options. I'd have to re-download this one to look up whether it's the same here.

Other HOGs that have a no time limit option include (going by memory):

Mystery Legends Sleepy Hollow
Adventures of Robinson Crusoe
Flux Family Secrets
Magic Encyclopedia (both)
Yard Sale Hidden Treasures (both)
DinerTown Detective Agency
Escape Rosecliff Island
Fishdom H2O: Hidden Odyssey
Hidden in Time: Mirror Mirror
Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy
Mystic Diary: Lost Brother
Pahelika: Secret Legends
Princess Isabella: A Witch's Curse
Samantha Swift (both)
Serpent of Isis
The Magician's Handbook II: Blacklore

Yes we were able to turn off the time limit in the las vegas heist by going to options. We tried going to options in the lottery ticket to turn off the time limit but there was not an option for that.

Wow! thanks for the extensive list of games that allow turning off the time limit. We will look into these. You mentioned that you made this list from memory. In general do you know how to tell whether there is an option to turn off time limits by looking at web info before purchasing? I have not been able to figure that out. I thought I could turn it off for the lottery ticket but after downloading found that I could not. We are on a slow internet connection so downloading trials in not reasonable.

That info usually isn't available on the download page. Check the forum for the game for reviews, and also the Gamezebo website which usually has nice thorough reviews. I would hope that the BFG walk through would mention it as well, for games that have a walk through. Since most games I don't check the walk through I can't promise about it.

I've thought of more HOGs that have no timers since the list above, but that's enough to keep you busy for a long time. If you are looking at a game and can't tell, try posting in the forum for the game asking, or send me a PM and if I have time I'll re-download it and check. I've purchased most of the no-timer HOGs that BFG offers.
