In Codenames, two spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. The other players can only see the code names of the agents and must work together to find them. Teams compete to be the first to discover all their agents, while the Spymasters give one-word clues that may connect to multiple words. Teammates try to guess correctly, avoiding the other team's words and, of course, the assassin. Win or lose, the most fun part is interpreting the clues!
Codenames is a strategy and communication game, where interpreting the clues is crucial for the team's victory.
