Codenames is a social word game with a simple premise and challenging game play. Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their codenames. The teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that can point to multiple words on the table. Their teammates try to guess words of their color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. And everyone wants to avoid the assassin.

Fun party game submitted by russelan on June 21, 2022, 10:04pm This is always fun to play with a group. It is sometimes very challenging to be the clue giver though!

Fun Word Game submitted by choichr on June 23, 2022, 10:14am Code names is a fun word association game to play with friends and family. It's easy to learn and simple to set up. You can play with two people, but I think it's best to play with at least four. You will need a flat surface to play this game because you need to lay cards out.

Fun submitted by betsywil on July 15, 2022, 10:35pm This fun game can be played with just two players, but works better with 4 or more.
Short & fun.

Thank you AADL for loaning games!

The Next Level Apple to Apples submitted by msi61 on June 26, 2023, 11:34pm Big group word association game - a hit at board game parties!

A Unique Game Night Even with 3 People! submitted by ksullivan on August 3, 2023, 11:28am Awesome board/card game. We are a 3-person family, but even with a couple people it was still a blast. Definitely would be a lot of fun with a large group of people. This game is hilarious and fun!

Always a hit! submitted by dtarrago on August 22, 2023, 4:12pm Have played this game with so many different groups of people…and it’s always a hit! Rules are pretty straightforward so new players catch on quickly. Fun to see what kind of word associations people make.
