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

Dive into the world of espionage with the digital adaptation of the popular board game, Codenames! This app, published by CGE Digital (based on the original design by Vlaada Chvátil), brings the thrilling word-association gameplay to your fingertips.

What are Codenames?

Codenames is a multiplayer game where teams compete to identify their secret agents hidden behind code names. Using one-word clues provided by your spymaster, you must deduce the correct words while avoiding civilian bystanders and, most importantly, the assassin. Strategic thinking and clever wordplay are key to victory.

The digital version boasts enhanced features including new words, exciting game modes, and unlockable achievements. A career mode adds a layer of progression, allowing you to level up, earn rewards, and acquire special gadgets. The asynchronous multiplayer allows for flexible gameplay, offering up to 24 hours per turn. Challenge global opponents or tackle daily solo challenges.

Gameplay Overview:

The core gameplay remains true to the original: a grid of words appears on screen. Tap the cards you believe represent your agents. Correct guesses reveal your agents, but selecting the assassin instantly ends your team's game. Managing multiple games simultaneously adds to the challenge, but mastering the game eventually allows you to take on the role of the clue-giving spymaster.
