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+.

The game is simple.

• Step 1: You ask a question.
• Step 2: Players create their best fake answer.
• Step 3: Then write what you think is the real answer.
• Step 4: Earn a point if players guess your answer. Plus an extra point if you guess the real answer.
• Step 5: First player to get 30 points wins!

400 weird & interesting facts. Hilarious content that promotes creative comedic game play. Continues to build on the FRIENDS line of Adult Party Games.

Ages 17+.

Go fishing for the embarrassing secrets your friends hold in their hands, and Go Fuck Yourself if you guess incorrectly!

Great for 2-6 players; ages 17 and up.

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.
