Codenames, a party game suitable for 2-8 players, sees you working alongside your teammates and nominated spymaster to find your fellow agents in the field, while also making sure to avoid the innocent bystanders - and the dangerous assassin!

Codenames is the worldwide smash-hit party game that anyone can enjoy! Perfect for gamers of all levels of experience, two teams compete to make contact with their agents, with spymasters giving one-word clues to their teams that relate to the code words on a grid of 25 agents. Guess words of the right colour while avoiding those of the opponents' colour - and if anyone guesses the Assassin, their team immediately loses. 

Czech Games Edition's Codenames is a fantastic, easy-to-play word association game. Players split into two teams, each team having a nominated spymaster. Spymasters are given a grid that details the exact location of all their agents in the field. It is up to the spymasters to communicate the locations of the agents to their teammates. However, there is one big catch! The locations are all associated with words, and the only way to communicate these is to give one-word clues.
