Gameplay
The game, for two or more people, involves solving rebuses: puzzles in which a common word or saying is hidden in a cryptic or otherwise unique arrangement of symbols.[1]
Publication history
The puzzles are syndicated internationally in newspapers, under various names such as "WHATZIT?" in North America and "KATCH-ITS" in Australia.[2]
The name "Dingbats" is a registered trademark in the UK and European Union.[3]
Reception
In the February 1988 issue of The Games Machine (Issue 3), the reviewer said that "We didn't really think a awful lot of the game, it has a tendency to get annoying because of inconsistency in the difficulty of the puzzles - but good marks for effort and decent packaging."[4]
