If you enjoy word games, you've likely played Codenames. This popular board game, centered around spies and secret agents, is now available as a mobile app. Originally designed by Vlaada Chvátil, the app version is published by CGE Digital.
Understanding Codenames
Codenames are secret identities assigned to characters. Teams work together to identify their hidden agents using one-word clues provided by their spymaster. Success hinges on selecting the correct words while avoiding civilians and, critically, the assassin.
Codenames is a multiplayer game pitting two teams against each other in a battle of deduction. Teams guess which words on the grid conceal their agents, relying on a single clue to connect multiple words. Strategic thinking and insightful wordplay are key to victory.
The digital version boasts new words, game modes, and unlockable achievements, even incorporating a career mode with leveling, rewards, and special gadgets.
A standout feature is its asynchronous multiplayer mode. Players have up to 24 hours per turn, allowing for multiple simultaneous games, global challenges, and daily solo puzzles.

Still a Game of Guesswork!
Players tap words on a grid, hoping to reveal their agents. Correct guesses flip cards, but selecting the assassin results in immediate defeat. Managing multiple games adds complexity, but this is part of the challenge. Skill progression leads to the role of spymaster, the clue-giver.
