If you enjoy word games, you've likely encountered Codenames. This popular board game, a classic spy-themed adventure, is now available as an app! Originally designed by Vlaada Chvátil and published digitally by CGE Digital, Codenames offers a thrilling digital experience.
What is Codenames?
Codenames are secret identities assigned to characters. As part of a team, you decipher these code names using one-word clues from your spymaster. Your mission: identify your agents, avoid civilians, and especially, steer clear of the assassin! This multiplayer game pits two teams against each other in a battle of wits, requiring you to interpret clues and outmaneuver your opponents. The key is to identify the words on the grid that represent your team's agents using a single, cleverly chosen clue.
The digital version expands on the original with new words, game modes, and unlockable achievements. It even includes a career mode where you level up, earn rewards, and unlock special gadgets. Best of all, it's asynchronous multiplayer, giving you up to 24 hours per turn. Play multiple games simultaneously, challenge global opponents, and tackle daily solo challenges.

It's Still a Guessing Game!
The gameplay remains engaging: tap the cards you believe represent your agents. Correct guesses reveal your agents, but selecting the assassin results in an immediate loss. Managing multiple games simultaneously adds a layer of strategic complexity. As you improve, you'll eventually assume the role of spymaster, crafting the crucial one-word clues.
