So this is another puzzle from the forum lurker, me. This time I am short in time so I made this simple, easy puzzle about rebus. If you used to be an American or English kid, you possibly would have known what a rebus is already. But for he who doesn't, here is the definition on Wikipedia:

"A rebus is an allusional device that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words. It was a favourite form of heraldic expression used in the Middle Ages to denote surnames."

The prize is one copy of Huntsman: The Orphanage Halloween Edition, which is on discount right now on Steam. But reassure, this is not a discount version, as I am not that cheap. I am cheaper. This is a bundled version.

But it not just that. There's also Lume which is also 50% off on Steam. Well, this one is bundled, too, of course...

There you go. Now go. Before I start to feel ashamed of myself...


Off topic: The off-topic matter has been solved. Thank you entropia.

Tried out your puzzle for a bit but I still have no idea about the last 3. It's pretty late for me now so I'm going to bed and I'll try again tomorrow when I get home. Thanks & hope you find someone to help you out ^ ^

The last 3 are a bit too hard. But with hints I think they are solvable. Except the last one, because of no hint for that. ;)

That one is way to high above the cloud. I don't know if it can actually call a rebus or not. :3

Can't get the last one. I immediately thought it was the casino related or the drinking related. No idea what to do next.

How Q5 isn't the word "covered"?? You simplify and C is over E and D...

Nice puzzle! It was a bit hard for a non native english speaker but I figured most of them out eventually. Except the last one. It doesn't seem to be anything i can think of.

Bump for everything solved except the last one.

Does it have punctuation marks? numbers? Is it a single word? a whole sentence?
Is it played in casinos or at parties? Is it a videogame?

Same here. At first I was like "it's easy" but actually not. I kinda run out of ideas for the last one.

I have input all possible formats for #6, with/without space, with/without punctuation mark.

It is a video game. A famous one.

Thanks for the puzzle, got all except the last one, and the hint for the last one is not helpful at all, especially for a non-native speaker. I got tonnes of original ideas for an answer, but I'm not sure how any of those should be written for the puzzle to accept it. I might have tried the right answer already, but in wrong format.

Well, I'll keep trying, doesn't cost me a dime.

I'm not from a English country, that makes a little hard for me. Anyway I did solve Q1, 3, 4 and 6. I'll wait the end for the answer.

Bump for solved. At last!
After hours of head-scratching I went to take a nap, and when I got back solved Q7 at first guess.
The hint of videogame was really helpful, because I was thinking of "21" (the drinking game), blackjack, etc.

The last one was really hard :D I mean, to be honest, I thought that it will be it at the very beginning, but it took me a lot of time before I tried it :D Now I think that it was so obvious that I thought that it can't be it :)
