Key Features

Engaging Gameplay for All Ages

Codenames is a fast-paced word game where two teams compete to guess the identities of secret agents. The game revolves around one-word clues given by the team’s spymaster, with the goal of linking the clues to the correct words on the board. Players need to think critically, make connections, and outsmart their opponents, all while having fun. The game is suitable for ages 14 and up and can be played with 4 or more players.

Simple Rules, Endless Fun

The rules of Codenames are simple enough to pick up quickly, yet the game offers endless possibilities for strategy and creativity. Each turn, the spymaster gives a clue and a number, which the team uses to guess the words. Teams win by correctly identifying all their agents, but the tension rises as players try to avoid selecting the assassin word, which leads to an instant loss!
