Dingbats Junior (1988) – Crack the Clues and Race to the Centre!

Get ready to stretch your brain and race your friends in Dingbats Junior – a clever and competitive board game full of fun wordplay! Perfect for ages 9 and up, this version is designed with younger players in mind but still offers a good challenge for the whole family. Players must solve visual puzzles known as “Dingbats” – phrases or sayings hidden in plain sight. Think laterally, shout out your answers, and move your piece around the board. First one to solve the final Dingbat at the finish wins!

How to Play

Each player chooses a coloured playing piece and places it on the START space. Take turns rolling the dice and moving your piece along the board. Depending on where you land, you’ll be challenged to solve either an Easy Dingbat (white symbol) or a Diabolical Dingbat (black symbol) within the time limit. Some spaces are CHALLENGE SPACES where players go head-to-head! Answer correctly to keep moving forward – but miss it, and you could be heading back. The first to complete one full circuit and solve the final Diabolical Dingbat wins the game.
