This quiz is all about phrases that first appeared in Shakespeare’s works and have become part of everyday language.
Each dingbat hides one of these famous sayings, can you figure them out?
Think this quiz seems a bit niche? You’d be right!
But I love a good niche round at quiz night, especially when the topic is broad enough that you can at least make a few educated guesses (unlike sport, which my quiz team is famously terrible at). It’s also probably slightly less niche than my Hamilton Dingbats Quiz.
What’s surprising is just how many everyday phrases can be traced back to Shakespeare. That means anyone can give this quiz a go and probably pick up a point or two, no need to be familiar with his plays or his writing.
