Product description

Style Name:Codenames

Codenames is a social word game with a simple premise and challenging game play. Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their codenames. The teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the table. Their teammates try to guess words of their color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin. The game works very well with 4 players if you prefer to guess without help. Or you can add more players if you prefer lively discussion. There is also a cooperative variant where a single team tries to achieve the highest score they can by playing against the game itself.

Shut up & Sit down Codenames is a deep game with simple rules, it’s tense and silly at the same time, and it’s fun when you’re winning and even better when you’re losing.	Peter H. Møller from Tabletop Together This game is a blast to play.	Cardboard Quest Ocean:3 No wait! Don't Say Shark. Don't Say Shark.

Great fun for groups!

Reviewed in Australia on 12 November 2020

Style Name: CodenamesVerified Purchase

Really great fun spy-themed fun for anyone aged 8 and over. The story is that you're secret agents on two opposing teams, trying to give clues to allow your team members to guess the codenames of fellow agents.
Gameplay is this: 25 cards are laid out in a 5x5 grid. A grid card is shown (and remains in front of) a member from each team (clue giver). This will show which words are for which team (7 or 8? each), as well as 'bystander' cards. They then take turns saying 1 word clues, which allow the team to guess as many words on the grid as possible.

Good fun but some knowledge of English is required.

Beware of fakes

Reviewed in Australia on 13 October 2020

Style Name: CodenamesVerified Purchase

Purchased 2 copies of the games, to gift one to a friend. Upon opening and inspecting some of the card, there are clear misprints/misspelled words. Felt really awkward handing the friend a copy knowing that it isn't genuine. It also doesn't come with the spacers in the box to hold the cards. Not going to bother with returning the product as it is still playable, just not worth the hassle.

Good, but riddles with issues

Great game! But riddled with spelling musk takes and other errors that distrust the flow of the game, and sometimes completely stop the game, I’m not saying don’t buy it I’m just saying be careful of the spelling issues and also the number of red and blue spots put on the key card meant to be 9 and 8 but sometimes there is 8 and 8

Perfect party game.

Reviewed in Australia on 28 July 2019

Style Name: CodenamesVerified Purchase

Sometimes, uncomplicated is better, and in the case of Codenames, this is certainly true. A game to be played with friends or family, it helps to have team mates who are on the same wavelength. The premise is deceptively simple: uncover your agents in the field by deciphering the clues given by your code master before your rival team uncovers theirs. But watch out for the assassin!

Games are quick (5-15 minutes) and highly repayable. The perfect addition to your collection of party games.

Who's better with words? Harder than it looks!

You'd question how well your friends are with understanding what words you mean when you give clues. It's an interactive game and very fun with lots of people. Highly recommended and Lots of replayable value due to the amount of words provided. High quality prints too!

Super fun and very well made!

This is an awesome game to play with family and friends. What I like about it is that you can involve as many people as you want as the game does not limit you to a maximum number of players. I really appreciated how well the cards are made and how the box comes with zip-lock bags to store the cards afterwards. Highly recommend this game for anyone who is big on board games.

Very fun board game for groups - fast learning curve and 10-20 minutes play time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2018

Style Name: CodenamesVerified Purchase

Very good game

Concept: A word game in which there are 2 teams and 25 words on a board. 8/9 of them belong to each team (9 for the team that go first). Each team has one 'spymaster' who knows the identity of the all the words and using 1 word clues has to get his team to guess which words belong to that team.

Players: 4+, but works well with bigger groups - I played with 8.

Learning curve: Very fast - I would say that for anyone over the age of 11 they should be able to fully understand the game within the first play.

Game time: Each game lasts about 15 minutes, maybe less when you get better, but you find that you will play back to back games changing who is the spymaster

Excitement - The game is pretty exciting and given the short gametime teams who are losing at the start are rarely in a position in which they have 0% chance of winning (unlike games like monopoly where the winner is determined long before the end of the game)

Overall would recommend this game and if I lost this game I would buy it again.

Needs more than four

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 July 2017

Style Name: CodenamesVerified Purchase

With this number, the gameplay feels more like team chess than a fun night. Lots of long pauses before you speak, a long pause before anyone moves, and then a moment of congratulation or sorrow. Not until the end do you get a chance to show your working and laugh about the missteps. It's still interesting and fun in a sort of cerebral way, but I have a feeling it will sit in our cupboard until our numbers increase.

Essentially this game is very simple but takes skill and understanding your team mates minds to win!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 January 2019

Style Name: CodenamesVerified Purchase

This game is fantastic with a large group. I've only ever played it with a minimum of 6 people and dont think I'd play it with fewer players. As a party game though, this is great and my friends always ask me to bring it when we have group get togethers.

In basic terms the game is made up of a grid of 25 words and two teams (red and blue). Each team nominates a spymaster who has to try and get their team to guess their words first. A grid card is taken at random by a spymaster and will show the spymasters which words their team needs to guess. This card also shows which team goes first. The team going first has 9 words, the team going second has 8 words to help make the game fair. Then teams take turns with the spymaster giving a one word clue trying to link as many of their words as possible. The clue is followed by the number of words the spymaster is linking it to. For example the grid might have the words England and France, if your team has these words and no other countries are on the board the clue could simply be "countries, 2". It gets more tricky when there are other similar words on the board e.g. if America is on the board but that is incorrect for your team. Play goes on until a team find all their words.

Each game starts out quite relaxed but the tension builds every game when it nears its end. It really is funny to see how involved everyone gets. The beauty lies in the simplicity of the rules as even newcomers can understand the game within one round. Each round only takes 10-15 minutes and it's up to you how many rounds you play so it's really flexible in terms of time. Every time I have played, games have gone on for 2-3 hours of laughing and joking!

If you need a simple party game then definitely look at codenamed. Honestly, I've never bought a game that has been enjoyed by so many people!

New favourite board game! Tons of fun!

Reviewed in Canada on 4 January 2018

Style Name: CodenamesVerified Purchase

This is one of the best board games I've ever played- and I've played a few! Not only is it the perfect balance of challenging and funny but if someone like my Dad, who claims not to be "good with words" can pick up the game in 10 minutes, than they're doing something right!
I bought this as a Christmas gift for a few people and they've already reported back saying how fun it is. A few tips: It's absolutley essential that the Cluemaster does not give the clues with any inflection or possibe hints in their vocal delivery. Also, don't stare at the cards too long, that's a dead giveaway. And this was the #1 thing that drove people crazy when we played and was a hard habit to break: Before you give the clues, you can't say anything like "This is a stretch, but..." becuase THAT'S a clue!! When we stopped doing those sorts of things the game became way more fun.

I bought this with my own money and was not compensated for my review.

Good party game for any group of friends who fancy a few quick games.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2018

Style Name: CodenamesVerified Purchase

Very good game for small groups and takes a relatively short amount of time to play a round which is good for the start or end of evenings though be warned those who have played it a lot or know their own team very well have distinct advantages - slit them up or make the teams even. Should definitely mention that good English comprehension is definitely not necessary, even though it might seem like it, the words used are sufficiently simple that the game can be played even by those with an intermediate level of English (though it's probably better to make the better speakers the clue givers or provide them both with a dictionary if they have a lower level of English).
