Cryptic Animals

Cryptic Animals

This pub quiz handout round features 15 cryptic clues for teams to try to decipher and come up with the names of animals. For example, the correct answer to "Break a bit off religious man" is Chipmunk ("chip monk").

A few of the clues are fairly straightforward to ensure that teams in your quiz can get up and running on this round without too much trouble, however there are also some tricky clues that are likely to take a fair bit of puzzling over before teams arrive at the correct answer.

It is recommended that these cryptic clues are used in a quiz as a handout round. For more information on handout rounds and our recommended use for them in quizzes click here

If you buy this handout round, we will give you access to pdf files you can download. Two of these will be for the main handout sheet - one as illustrated above, and one in a more plain format. The third sheet will contain the answers. You probably already have everything you need to access and use these rounds in your quiz, but you might want to check our requirements page to make sure.

Please note that this handout round also appears in Weekly Quiz 247. If you would prefer to purchase our pre-compiled full weekly quizzes, then click here, where you can find quizzes with a handout round, 2 rounds on general subjects, a specialist subject round, a connections round, an initial letter link round, and a stick or twist round, as well as professionally designed answer sheets and full instructions on how to run your quiz.
