The new edition of Codenames XXL refreshes the classic experience players know and love. From a revised word list for improved gameplay, beautiful art, a brand-new insert that keeps your game neatly organized, to a streamlined rulebook that makes the game easier to teach and learn, this updated version is designed to delight longtime fans of the game and welcome new ones. Like the previous Codenames XXL, this version is ideal for players with visual impairments as well as large groups. The updated edition comes in a more compact box for easier storage and transport but the font used for the words is even larger than before!

In Codenames XXL, two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates, however, only know these agents by their codenames — single, seemingly random words like “chocolate,” “sunflower,” or even “carrot.” (Yes, there’s an agent out there codenamed “carrot.”) The goal is simple: each spymaster wants their team to identify all of their agents first, without accidentally revealing the assassin.

To play, lay out 25 cards, each featuring a single word. The spymasters share a key card that shows which words correspond to agents from each team, innocent bystanders, and the assassin. They then take turns giving one-word clues followed by a number. The clue should relate to multiple cards that their team should guess, and the number tells teammates how many cards are linked to that clue.

Teammates guess one card at a time. If they guess correctly, they can keep going. But if they pick a card belonging to the opposing team or an innocent bystander, their turn ends. And if they choose the assassin? Game over.

Play continues with each spymaster offering new clues until one team successfully identifies all of their agents — or someone tragically uncovers the assassin. Get ready for clever clues, bold guesses, and the ultimate race to uncover your team’s secret agents — Codenames XXL makes every game night unforgettable!

4+ players, ages 10+.

They’re visual codes—clues to locations where spies must rendezvous with secret agents!

In this newly updated version of Codenames: Pictures, the spy world gets a visual twist, now featuring refreshed artwork, a revised set of images, a bold new box design, and a neat insert that keeps your game organized.

Two rival spymasters know the identity of agents hidden across the board. Using one-word clues, they send cryptic messages to guide their operatives to the right image. But beware—a single misstep could lead to an enemy agent… or the deadly assassin.

To play Codenames: Pictures, lay out 20 cards, each featuring a quirky image. The spymasters share a key card that shows which pictures correspond to agents from each team, innocent bystanders, and the assassin. They then take turns giving one-word clues followed by a number. The clue should relate to multiple cards that their team should guess, and the number tells teammates how many cards are linked to that clue.

Teammates guess one card at a time. If they guess correctly, they can keep going. But if they pick a card belonging to the opposing team or an innocent bystander, their turn ends. And if they choose the assassin? Game over.

Play continues with each spymaster offering new clues until one team successfully identifies all of their agents — or someone tragically uncovers the assassin.

Unlike the original Codenames, where words led the way, Codenames: Pictures challenges players to decode layered, imaginative images—each one packed with multiple visual elements and hidden meanings.

Be clever and trust your instincts. Only one team will make contact with all their agents and win the game!

Now with a revised word list, beautiful art, a brand-new insert that keeps your game neatly organized, and a streamlined rulebook that makes it easier to teach and learn the game.

In Codenames Duet, you’re no longer competing — you’re teaming up with a fellow operative (or operatives in a group game) for an exciting cooperative experience. The mission? Work together to find all your secret agents hidden among a grid of mysterious codenames. The twist? You each see part of the key — and neither of you has the full picture. Codenames: Duet is perfect to enjoy with only two players, but you can also play it with more friends, if you’d like a less competitive experience than in the basic Codenames.

Here’s how the game works: Lay out 25 word cards in a 5×5 grid. Between you is a shared key card — each half of the team sees one side. On your side, nine words mark your agents, three mark deadly assassins, and the rest are innocent bystanders.

You’ll take turns giving one-word clues paired with a number, pointing the operative(s) across from you to specific words on the grid. Guess right? Keep going. Guess a bystander? Your turn ends. Guess an assassin? Mission failed — game over. But as long as your guesses are correct, you can keep going, even revisiting past clues.

The game is played over a series of 9 turns, but can be increased to 11 turns for operatives who may need a little more time as they improve their skills.

Your goal: Find all 15 agents — without triggering an assassin — before you run out of time!

The game includes 400 new words that can be combined with those from standard Codenames.

HOW TO PLAY COYOTE?

When it’s your turn, you must announce a number that is less than the total of all the cards in the game, increasing the previous number. Alternatively, you can challenge the number previously announced. Finally, when all the cards are revealed, it is revealed who has the cunning Coyote on their side.

METALLIC PRINT

Coyote is in series with Spicy, our card game recommended by Game of the Year 2020. Game box and card backs are decorated with a special metallic print in copper. As in the tradition of the Northwest Coast Tribes, copper is a symbol of prosperity and cultural wealth. The artist Zona Evon Shroyer (Yupik Alaskan Native) is a master of the traditional Northwest Coastal art, whose richness of detail and complexity requires years of study and practice. For the cover illustration of Coyote, she designed a modern silhouette for the coyote, which she then filled in a classical manner with other animal motifs: turtle, beaver and bear. The animals that he is sitting around the fire with and plays a game, in our little story.
