Android Users Rejoice: Classic Spy Game Codenames Arrives

Codenames: The Spy Game Now on Your Mobile!

If you enjoy word games, you've likely encountered Codenames. This popular board game of spies and secret agents is now available as a mobile app from CGE Digital (based on the original design by Vlaada Chvátil).

What is Codenames?

Codenames is a multiplayer game where teams compete to identify their secret agents hidden behind code names. Using one-word clues from your spymaster, you must correctly identify your agents, avoid civilians, and, most importantly, avoid the assassin! Success hinges on clever word association and outsmarting your opponents.

The digital version boasts new words, game modes, and unlockable achievements, even featuring a career mode with leveling, rewards, and special gadgets. Asynchronous multiplayer allows up to 24 hours per turn, enabling you to manage multiple games simultaneously, challenge global players, and tackle daily solo challenges.

Still a Game of Guesswork!

Gameplay involves tapping cards on a grid to reveal your agents. Correct guesses flip the cards, but selecting the assassin means instant defeat. The challenge intensifies with multiple simultaneous games, but mastering this leads to the role of spymaster – the clue-giver!
