Big Fish Unlimited is a streaming service that features a growing catalog of games – 150 today with new games added every week – from every casual genre, including Hidden Object, Puzzle Adventure, Match 3, Time Management, and more. Because games are streamed, progress is saved in the cloud, allowing players to easily pick up their game session on any supported device.

“With the best library of high-quality casual games, Big Fish Unlimited is a marquee service on the Wikipad,” said Fraser Townley, President, Sales, for Wikipad. “It is currently the only casual game streaming service in the market.
