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

If you're a fan of word games, chances are you've encountered Codenames at some point. This beloved, classic board game centered around spies and secret agents has now been transformed into an engaging app. Originally crafted by Vlaada Chvátil, the digital version is brought to you by CGE Digital.

What Are Codenames?

Codenames are the secret monikers assigned to various characters. In the game, you join a team on a mission to uncover hidden agents using one-word clues provided by your spymaster. Your task is to decipher the correct words, dodge bystanders, and crucially, avoid the assassin at all costs.

Codenames is a multiplayer experience where two teams compete in a battle of wits, striving to identify which words on the grid conceal their agents. Players use a single clue to link multiple words, testing their ability to read between the lines and outsmart the opposing team.

The digital rendition of Codenames introduces fresh words, various game modes, and achievements to unlock. It also features a career mode where you level up, earn rewards, and unlock special gadgets as you progress.

One of the standout features is its asynchronous multiplayer capability. Players have up to 24 hours to make their move, allowing you to juggle multiple games simultaneously, challenge opponents from around the globe, and even take on daily solo challenges.

It’s Still A Guessing Game!

The game presents you with a grid of cards on your screen, and your mission is to tap the ones you believe are concealing your agents. When you guess correctly, the cards flip over, revealing the identities. However, selecting the assassin card leads to an instant loss for your team.

Managing multiple games at once can be challenging, but that's part of the fun! As you hone your skills, you'll eventually have the opportunity to take on the role of the spymaster, the one responsible for giving out the clues.
