Big Kahuna (series)
video game series
Big Kahuna is a series of puzzle video games created by Reflexive Entertainment. Four games have been released in the series: Big Kahuna Reef, a tile-matching game, in 2004 for the PC; Big Kahuna Words, a boggle-style puzzle game released in 2005 for PC and 2008 for iOS; Big Kahuna Reef 2, a three in a row matchmaking game released in 2006 for PC; Big Kahuna Party, a WiiWare tile-based party game released in 2008; and Big Kahuna Reef 3, the last tile-based game in June 2012. All of the games in the series feature a Hawaiian theme, with oceans, exotic fish, and tiki heads.
Around 7 December 2017, the official website that hosted all user-made levels and the forums for both the Ricochet (Ricochet Infinity, Ricochet Lost Worlds and Ricochet Lost Worlds: Recharged) and the Big Kahuna series were permanently shut down because they were no longer sustainable to run.

Why this record matters
“Big Kahuna (series)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kahuna, series and video provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q108370614. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2006.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
