Codenames Hits Android: Spy Thriller Goes Mobile

Dive into the world of espionage with the digital adaptation of the popular board game, Codenames! This app, published by CGE Digital and based on Vlaada Chvátil's original design, brings the thrilling word-association gameplay to your fingertips.

Unmasking the Codenames Mystery:

Codenames challenges players to identify their secret agents hidden behind coded words. Working as a team, you receive one-word clues from your spymaster to deduce the correct words, while avoiding civilian bystanders and, most importantly, the assassin. Two teams compete in a head-to-head battle of wit and deduction, using clever, multi-word associations to outsmart their opponents.

The digital version expands upon the classic game with new words, exciting game modes, and unlockable achievements. A career mode adds depth, allowing players to level up, earn rewards, and collect special gadgets. Asynchronous multiplayer allows for flexible gameplay; players have up to 24 hours to make their move, enabling participation in multiple games simultaneously and challenges against global opponents. Daily solo challenges are also available.

Gameplay and Strategy:

The digital interface presents a grid of cards. Players tap the cards they believe represent their agents. Correct guesses reveal the identities, but selecting the assassin results in immediate defeat. Managing multiple games adds a layer of complexity, but mastering this challenge is key to progressing and eventually taking on the role of the clue-giving spymaster.
