Gamezebo is excited to announce the April 1 launch of Big White Bunny Games, a brand new casual games portal that will sell nothing but hidden object games. Under the catchy slogan "A New Game Every Hour!” the portal promises to do just that by releasing 24 hidden object games each day, seven days a week.

A Big White Bunny spokesperson told Gamezebo that the company hopes this ambitious launch schedule of 168 new games per week will be robust enough to keep up with casual gamers' voracious demand for hidden object games, or "HOGs" as they are colloquially known.

In addition to HOGs, the portal will also offer games from the various HOG sub-genres such as "fractured-object games" (FROGs), "darkened object games" (DOGs), "hidden object adventure games" (HOAGIES) and "what's so special about this paper clip that I have to keep finding it over and over again?" games (WSSATPCTIHTKFIOAOAs).

The first games to appear on Big White Bunny at launch will be:

Hidden Mysteries: Secret of the Crystal Treasure
Curse of the Pyramids: The Lost Mystery of the Egyptian Pharaoh
Haunted Cases of the Titanic: The Secret Orb
The Adventures of Jane Fox and the Mysterious Secrets of the Amazon
Outer Mysteries: The Gates of Time
Madison McGee and the Lost City of Mystery
Hidden Crimes: The Tiger Woods Story
Mysterious City: Flint, Michigan
Treasure Finders: Seeking the Cursed Stone of Doom
Mysterious Wonders: The Tale of the Abominable Snowman Lost in the Bermuda Triangle
Lost at Sea: Curse of the Soggy Secrets
Lost at Sea 2: The Jane Doe Affair
Mystery of the Hidden Treasures, Vol. 2 (also known as Secret Treasures of Amelia Earhart: Explorer Quest)

(Above: A screenshot of the Big White Bunny exclusive hidden object game Hidden Mysteries: Secret of the Crystal Treasure)

Games will sell for $6.98, and premium versions of games will also be offered for $20 that will include 53% more randomly hidden paper clips, more mysteries, desktop wallpapers of the developer's assorted pets, and a free massage by a Swedish man named Sven.

Big White Bunny is also running a limited time launch sale where you can get 50% off your order by entering the discount code APRILFOOL at checkout.

LOL, erin. Thank God it's just a joke. A game an hour? Horrors! One can just imagine how really bad the games would be. BFG has some questionable ones, and they only release once a day...well, they're actually up to 2 or 3 titles per day, now. "Mysterious City: Flint, Michigan" LOLOLOL!!! How about: "Mysterious City: Banff, Alberta" Actually, Banff is really pretty, just not all that mysterious...at least it wasn't on my summer visit, a number of years ago. Excellent post and really creative list of "game" titles...I can think of more, but will refrain from posting lest I offend any sensibilites. LOL

Very funny. I'd really like to see a Big White Bunny give a Big Fish a run for its money, though! Wouldn't that be fun?

Ok, this is going to sound nuts, but when I saw the title of this thread at work yesterday, it put me in a foul mood, and I wanted to make my usually opinionated and sometimes offensive (unintentional) comments about the saturation of HOGs. Not until 5 minutes ago did I realize that it was an April fools joke. First time I have been busted in years...
