Words have power. In Codenames, a single clue can lead your team to victory—or straight into disaster.
In this award-winning party game, two rival spy masters know the secret identities of agents hidden among a grid of seemingly random words. Their challenge? Give clever one-word clues that connect multiple agents at once while avoiding innocent bystanders, enemy agents, and the deadly assassin.
Whether you’re making brilliant connections or laughing at the wild leaps of logic your teammates make, Codenames creates memorable moments every time it hits the table. The rules are simple enough to teach in minutes, but every game offers a fresh puzzle as players try to think like their teammates and decipher the perfect clue.
Codenames is a fantastic choice for both seasoned gamers and newcomers. It supports larger groups, encourages teamwork, and sparks plenty of conversation, making it one of the most popular social deduction and word games ever published.
Join Goose Games this week to put your clue-giving skills to the test. Can you lead your team to uncover all of your agents before the opposing spies do? Choose your words carefully—because one wrong guess could end the mission.
