Our Expert Score

86/100

Dingbats is a delightful return to the classic 'rebus' style puzzles that I used to find in the back of Sunday newspapers. The game presents you with a visual puzzle—like the word 'MAN' written on top of the word 'BOARD'—and you have to guess the common phrase ('Man overboard'). It’s a wonderful test of lateral thinking and linguistic creativity.

The difficulty curve is excellently paced; it starts with very obvious puns and slowly moves into obscure idioms that will have you scratching your head. The clean, minimalist UI keeps the focus entirely on the puzzle, and the hint system is fair, allowing you to reveal letters or remove extras if you get truly stuck. It’s the kind of game that’s great to play with a friend or family member, as two brains are often better than one at deciphering these visual riddles.
