Codenames Board Game – Word Association Party Game for Family and Friends

Bring strategy, teamwork, and clever wordplay to your next game night with Codenames, the award-winning party game of secret agents, creative clues, and fast-thinking guesses. This updated edition features refreshed word lists, upgraded artwork, an improved game insert for easy organization, and a streamlined rulebook for faster learning and smoother gameplay.

In Codenames, two teams compete as rival spy agencies trying to identify their secret agents before the opposing team does. Each team’s spymaster knows the identities of 25 hidden agents, while teammates only see their mysterious codenames — single words that could mean anything from “chocolate” to “sunflower” to “carrot.”

The challenge? Give clever one-word clues that connect multiple agents at once, while avoiding innocent bystanders and the deadly assassin. Every turn brings new possibilities, surprising connections, and exciting moments of teamwork and deduction.

Why You’ll Love Codenames:

• Classic party game for adults, families, and friends
• Combines word association, strategy, teamwork, and deduction
• Easy to learn with endless replayability

How to Play:

Players split into two teams, each with a spymaster who provides one-word clues and a number. Teammates use those clues to identify their team’s secret agents among 25 hidden words. Guess correctly to continue — but choose the wrong card and you may help the opposing team or reveal the assassin and lose instantly.

With hundreds of possible clue combinations, every game of Codenames creates a new spy mission full of laughter, suspense, and unforgettable moments.
