The Codenames: Back to Hogwarts board game is a word and association game in which two rival Hogwarts houses try to uncover their respective cards. Each team’s leaders give clues consisting of one word and a number, while the other players guess the related words. Each house has two special abilities and uses one in each game, adding different strategies and combinations.
Players reveal one card at a time and keep guessing as long as they find the correct words. Their turn ends if they reveal a card belonging to the opposing house or an obstacle. If they are spotted by caretaker Argus Filch, the game ends with the opposing house winning. Victories earn points for the house and are recorded across multiple games for the House Cup.
