Unfortunately, the game provides in its english version only 5 levels which it is few and should be updated in the future. Developper says: One puzzle, one phrase: try to identity the meaning hidden behind each drawing. If you have difficulties, you can ask for clues or help from your friends to solve the game.

Dingbats is the name of a puzzlefranchise devised by Paul Sellers in 1980 and first published as a board game in 1987. 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]
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]
