Classic Spy Game

Dive into the world of espionage with the Codenames app! This digital adaptation of the popular board game pits two teams against each other in a thrilling battle of wits. Originally designed by Vlaada Chvátil and published digitally by CGE Digital, Codenames challenges players to decipher secret agent identities hidden behind code names.

Deciphering the Codes:

Teams receive one-word clues from their Spymaster and must identify their agents on a grid of words, avoiding bystanders and, most importantly, the assassin. The app features new words, game modes, and unlockable achievements, adding a fresh layer of excitement to the classic gameplay.

Asynchronous Multiplayer & More:

Codenames offers asynchronous multiplayer, allowing players up to 24 hours per turn. Engage in multiple games simultaneously, challenge global opponents, and tackle daily solo challenges. The game also includes a career mode with leveling, rewards, and special gadgets to unlock.

Gameplay & Strategy:

The digital version retains the core guessing game mechanic. Players tap cards on the screen, hoping to reveal their agents. A wrong guess, especially selecting the assassin, results in immediate defeat. Managing multiple games adds a strategic layer of complexity. As you progress, you'll eventually take on the role of the Spymaster, crafting clever clues to guide your team.
