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

Codenames: The Popular Word Game Now Available as an App!

If you enjoy word games, you've probably played Codenames. This classic board game about spies and secret agents is now available as a mobile app, published by CGE Digital (the original board game was created 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 deduce which words on the grid represent your agents, avoiding bystanders and, crucially, the assassin. It's a battle of wits and clever word association.

The app version features new words, game modes, and unlockable achievements, including a career mode with leveling up, rewards, and special gadgets. Asynchronous multiplayer allows up to 24 hours per turn, letting you juggle multiple games simultaneously, challenge global players, and tackle daily solo challenges.

Gameplay: Still a Guessing Game, But More!

The digital version retains the core gameplay: you tap words on a grid, hoping to reveal your agents. A wrong guess—especially the assassin—means game over for your team. Managing multiple games adds a layer of strategic complexity. As you progress, you’ll even take on the role of spymaster, crafting the crucial one-word clues.
