Re the children reading books about trains - think of another word for trains and then add the word Children.

Sorry, its about the Hidden books game. The one with the lion picture which says "Belle"

What's Belle French for?

Search prize winners with that word

The lion is a play on words

I assumed it was about the game but you hadn't said which clue you were stuck on.
Think of a very popular BBC drama about bent coppers and replace the last word with the English translation of belle.

Krampus - 3 synonyms give you the title

nozbottheblue · 09/12/2023 03:37

Thanks for all the hints! First time I've ever completed this.
Now I must go to bed!!

LibbyDee · 09/12/2023 11:29

Krampus - synonyms of the book titles
Morris dancer, think nationality and relationship to the paramedic

Agapornis · 09/12/2023 18:04

Lion fans, you'll be amused by question 5 in the accompanying What kind of Hidden Books Game player are you? quiz

I got them all, eventually! Can't believe I got the children reading last.

where Does morris dancing come from and what the paramedic is doing

Vintagefloof · 13/12/2023 12:29

This was the first clue for that which actually helped me, thank you!

I'm now very confused as to why everyone else was giving clues along the self portrait line though?

@SummerLightning for some reason, I thought of that and then dismissed without trying. Got it now though.

@Bookworm68 Annie is the character and the books are all about a negative emotion. Dragon is a very popular kids book and film series.

What's going on??? I put two correct answers in ages ago and got told they weren't correct! After looking at the hints I tried again and they were accepted😫😂

SaharaC · 13/12/2023 20:53

I put the title earlier and it rejected it, saying it was wrong! After seeing the hints I tried again and it was accepted😩

Think of a well known district in New York, one word.

Show quote history

I put two correct answers in ages ago, but it told me they were wrong🙄

Thanks for the clues, that's me got them all without having to ask for anything.

Weirdly the Natural History one is the first one I got but so many people seem to be stuck on it, and it's not one I've ever actually read.

The bin one took me ages, I actually had it and it just wasn't accepting it. I had to click on something else and go back and it accepted it then which was really weird.

I had that issue too - not accepting correct answers

SaharaC · 13/12/2023 22:48

still cant get that
