For word game enthusiasts, Codenames needs no introduction. This popular board game, centered around spies and secret agents, is now available as a digital app. Originally designed by Vlaada Chvátil and published digitally by CGE Digital, Codenames offers a thrilling mobile experience.
What is Codenames?
Codenames are secret identities assigned to characters. Players work as a team to identify their secret agents hidden behind code names, using one-word clues provided by their spymaster. The challenge lies in correctly identifying agents, avoiding bystanders, and, most importantly, avoiding the assassin.
Codenames is a head-to-head multiplayer game where two teams compete to deduce which words on the grid represent their agents. A single, cleverly chosen clue links multiple words. Success hinges on insightful word association and outsmarting the opposing team.
The digital version introduces fresh words, exciting game modes, and unlockable achievements. A career mode adds another layer of engagement, allowing players to level up, earn rewards, and unlock special gadgets.
Asynchronous Multiplayer Fun!
The asynchronous multiplayer feature is a standout. Players have up to 24 hours to make their move, allowing for flexible gameplay. Start multiple games simultaneously, challenge global players, and tackle daily solo challenges.
