Dingbats 6

Another in our series of Dingbats style rounds, this pub quiz handout round features 10 images that use letters, words and symbols in a particular way to describe well known phrases. The aim for teams in your quiz is to work out what these phrases are.

The following image shows an example of a Dingbats clue, where the correct answer of the phrase being described is "put on weight". This is arrived at from the word "put" being "on" the word "ton", which is an example of a weight.

All of the phrases are well known and as an added clue the number of words in each phrase is given. Some are fairly straightforward to make sure that all teams can get up and running on this round quickly, but there are some where a great deal of lateral thinking may be needed to arrive at the correct answer.

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