Codenames, a party game suitable for 2-8 players, will see you working alongside your teammates and nominated spymaster to work out where your fellow agents are in the field, while also making sure to avoid the innocent bystanders and the dangerous assassin! Czech Game Edition's Codenames is a fantastic, easy to play word association game that sees players split into two teams, each team having a nominated spymaster. These spymasters are given a grid that details the exact location of all their agents in the field. It is up to those spymasters to communicate the locations of the agents to their teammates however there is one big catch!The locations are all associated with words and the only way to communicate these is to give one word clues! Once a clue has been given, it's up to the team to work out which words the spymaster is trying to communicate to you. If you select a correct word, then well done, you’ve found a fellow agent! Be careful though, select a wrong word and one of three things can happen! You could have mistaken an innocent bystander for an agent, a rather foolish thing to do! You could have found on of the other team's agents which will simply give them the upper hand! But worst of all, you could find the dangerous assassin. Find him, and it's game over for you my friend! Work together to find all your agents and you will be victorious and successfully complete your mission! This game will have you on the edge of your seat and be careful because when you think you’ve found the word, you may just start second-guessing yourself! Codenames is a great party game and one that has grown in popularity massively! It's an essential game for anyone's collection and one that is sure to be a hit with all! Player Count: 2-8 Time: 15 Minutes Age: 14+

One of the best party games around. The main task of trying to guess what words might go with the one word clue given to you can create all sorts of debate. It is a little bit of a faff to set up but the gameplay is really worth it.

One of my all-time favourites,. i love using clever little in-jokes that my team will get and not the others!

Codenames is a great game that can be enjoyed with family and friends. The key aspect of the game is that all members of the team needs to try to "think as the other member" in order to get all the words connected to the clue given to them. "Boat" may not be linked to the same words as "battleship" or "sea". Most important, this game is hilarious and you will have hours and hours of fun.

Really enjoy codenames especially when teams are of friends/couples/family who think they know each other well - this game is great for discovering the weird routes our minds take when trying to associate words. Brilliantly simple and easy to explain, quick to play.

This is a simple, quick filler game. Not my favourite but can be good fun in teams. Much better when you know the other players well.
