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

For word game enthusiasts, Codenames is a must-try. This popular board game, centered around spies and secret agents, is now available as a mobile app. Originally designed by Vlaada Chvátil and published digitally by CGE Digital, Codenames offers a digital twist on the classic gameplay.

What is Codenames?

Codenames involves assigning secret identities to characters. Teams work together to identify their agents hidden behind code names, guided by one-word clues from their spymaster. The challenge lies in correctly identifying agents while avoiding civilians and, crucially, the assassin.

Codenames is a head-to-head multiplayer game where teams compete to decipher which words on a grid represent their agents. A single clue links multiple words, testing your ability to deduce connections and outwit your opponents.

The digital version introduces new words, game modes, and unlockable achievements, incorporating a career-like progression system with leveling, rewards, and special gadgets. The asynchronous multiplayer allows up to 24 hours per turn, enabling players to manage multiple games simultaneously, compete globally, and tackle daily solo challenges.

The Guessing Game Remains!

Players tap grid cards to identify their agents. Correct guesses reveal the identities, but selecting the assassin results in an immediate loss. Managing multiple simultaneous games adds an extra layer of complexity. As skills improve, players advance to the spymaster role, devising the crucial one-word clues.
