Freddi Fish is a fun series of computer games for kids aged 3 to 8. These games are all about solving mysteries! They are called "point-and-click adventure games" because you click on things to make Freddi and her best friend, Luther, go on exciting adventures.

The first Freddi Fish game came out in 1994. Freddi Fish is a brave yellow fish who loves to be a detective. Her green fish friend, Luther, is always by her side. Together, they solve all sorts of puzzles and help others in their underwater world. The games have won many awards for being excellent and have sold millions of copies!

How to Play Freddi Fish Games

In Freddi Fish games, you move Freddi and Luther around by clicking where you want them to go. The mouse cursor changes into an arrow to show you the way. As you explore, you can click on different things in the background. Sometimes, clicking on something will make a funny animation happen. You might even see characters from other Humongous Entertainment games like Putt-Putt or Pajama Sam!

Solving Mysteries and Collecting Items

Your main goal is to solve a mystery. To do this, you'll need to find important items. These items go into Freddi's inventory, ready for when you need them later. You'll also talk to many other fish and sea creatures. They might give you clues or ask for your help. Sometimes, you need to help a character or find a special item to unlock new areas.

Most Freddi Fish games have two main parts. First, you explore a big area, helping characters and gathering clues. Then, you move to a smaller area where you finally face the bad guys and solve the big mystery! You can also save your game at any time, so you can always come back to your adventure later.
