Playing games on macOS Catalina and Higher – Big Fish Games Help

To download and play games on macOS Catalina or a higher version, please download the updated Game Manager from the link below:

By downloading the new Game Manager you are agreeing to the Game Manager EULA.

Follow these easy steps to get started with downloading and playing games on your Mac:

Download the Game Manager – After downloading the installer, locate the file in your Downloads folder.
Move to Applications – Drag the Game Manager icon into the Applications folder for easy access.
Open the Game Manager – Right-click (or hold Control and click) on the Game Manager icon, then choose Open. This step may prompt a security warning on newer macOS versions, but simply click Open again if asked.

Tip: If you see a message saying there's an update available, you can proceed with the update to ensure you're using the latest version of the Game Manager.

Verify System Requirements – Before downloading a game, make sure your Mac meets the system requirements listed on the game’s page. You can usually find this under the System Requirements section.

Tip: If you’re unsure whether your Mac will run the game smoothly, check for the minimum OS version required and any specific hardware needs like RAM or graphics specifications.
Open the Game Manager – Launch the Game Manager from your Applications folder.
Browse or Search for Games –
- Click on the Mac Games tab to see all compatible titles.
- Alternatively, if you’ve already purchased the game, go to the Purchase History tab to find your games.
Download Your Game – From the list of games, click the Download button next to the game you want to install.

Tip: You can also filter the game list by genres or other categories to find games that interest you more quickly.
Keep in mind that Mac OS does NOT support 32-bit games.

Install the Game – After downloading, the Game Manager should automatically install the game on your Mac.

Tip: If you encounter any issues during installation, make sure your macOS is up to date and that you have sufficient disk space.
Launch the Game – Once installed, you can find your game in the Applications folder or the Game Manager itself. Double-click to start playing!

Tip: If the game doesn’t launch, try restarting your Mac, ensuring your Mac meets the minimum system requirements, or checking for any pending macOS updates.

If you run into issues while downloading or installing, don't worry! Here are a few common fixes:

Security Settings: On newer versions of macOS, your Mac may block apps downloaded from the web. If this happens, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy and click Open Anyway under the General tab.
Permissions: Make sure you have permission to write to your disk and access the necessary folders by checking your Mac’s settings under System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
