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 created 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 hidden agents using one-word clues provided by their spymaster. The challenge lies in correctly identifying agents while avoiding civilians and, crucially, the assassin.

Codenames is a multiplayer game pitting two teams against each other in a strategic guessing game. Teams decipher clues linking multiple words on a grid. Success depends on interpreting subtle connections and outsmarting the opposing team.

The digital version introduces fresh words, exciting game modes, and unlockable achievements, even incorporating a career mode with leveling up, rewards, and special gadgets.

The asynchronous multiplayer aspect allows players up to 24 hours per turn, enabling simultaneous participation in multiple games, global challenges, and daily solo puzzles.
