Codenames, The Classic Board Game About Spies And Secret Agents, Is Now Out On Android!

Experience the thrill of Codenames, the popular spy-themed word game, now available as a digital app! Originally designed by Vlaada Chvátil and published digitally by CGE Digital, this app brings the classic board game to your fingertips.

What is Codenames?

Codenames challenges you to identify secret agents hidden behind code names using one-word clues from your spymaster. Two teams compete, strategically guessing words on a grid while avoiding bystanders and, most importantly, the assassin. The key is deciphering subtle connections between words to outwit your opponents.

The digital version boasts new words, game modes, and unlockable achievements, even featuring a career mode with leveling, rewards, and special gadgets. Asynchronous multiplayer allows for flexible gameplay, with up to 24 hours per turn. Challenge global players or tackle daily solo challenges.

Gameplay and Strategy

The digital grid presents a series of cards; your task is to tap those believed to represent your agents. Correct guesses reveal the agents, but selecting the assassin results in an immediate loss. Managing multiple games simultaneously adds a layer of complexity, but mastering the game allows progression to the spymaster role, where you provide the crucial one-word clues.
