Need a decent quiz for Christmas Day!

Wonder if anyone can help. I'm hosting Christmas this year and usually we have a quiz or two floating around for people to puzzle over between opening presents, drinking, eating and watching TV. It's always been provided by other family members in the past, but I want to get hold of one (or a couple). I've searched online but haven't found anything suitable.

To clarify, I don't simply want a list of questions. I want something visual, or cryptic, that can be pondered over/worked out - as oppose to simple general knowledge. To give you an example of one I remember from Christmas past - we had a big picture with all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff on it. There were about fifty movie titles "hidden" in the picture and you had to spot them all. I'd like something like that. Or something otherwise cryptic. Something that will take a good while to finish and that can be contributed to by everyone.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give. :)

    Google is your friend. Google either dingbats or ditloids, and switch to images. You'll see loads.

    Ken's Quiz Site

    I can't remember the site but there is a picture type puzzle where you have to work out what London tube stations are hidden (I don't think this was one but eg three kings crossing the road would be kings cross) in an image. Sounds similar to your movie one. You might be able to get a print out of that or a screenshot.

    Edit: it's called look for longer! you play online but I reckon you could adapt it.

    I recently made one up for my work's Christmas party.

    First round was Christmas films in anagram form
    Round 2 was general knowledge questions
    Round 3 was showbiz questions
    Round 4 was guess the song from a lyric within the song
    Round 5 was picture round - Christmas related with part of the singers/groups face blanked out

    Just make up your own, doesn't take too long!
