Codenames

Codenames is the iconic party game where you race to guess the correct words before your opponents do. Two teams compete to identify their 25 secret agents using clever clues.

Each team appoints a spymaster who knows the hidden identities of the agents. Using one word and one number, the spymaster must guide their team to the correct cards on the table—without hitting the opponent’s agents or the dangerous assassin, which ends the game immediately.

Codenames combines logic, associations, timing, and teamwork in a fast-paced and engaging word game, where creative thinking and mutual understanding are key to victory. Perfect for game nights with family and friends.
