About this game

The same word association principles you love, but with some cool twists! Codenames App is the standalone version of the popular party game. It’s still Codenames you know, but with some wild rules, new twists, and mechanics.

Are no friends available to play?
That’s not a problem anymore! Thanks to the robust matchmaking system, Codenames App will put the game group together automatically. You can also challenge your friends in friendly games. The game is played asynchronously - your friends will play when they have some time. You don’t have to be online at the same time!
Last but not least, you can enjoy completely new solo challenges prepared by the others for you!

Want something extra to your Codenames experience?
Enjoy tons of new game modes to unlock. Challenge your opponents in a crossover between Codenames and Minesweeper, play wild Converter where the spymaster can change the color of two words each turn, or use Quantum Gadgets to touch two words instead of one when guessing. That and much more await you in Codenames App.

Prove you are a dedicated fan!
Collect and play with thousands of new words divided into thematic categories. Do you prefer fantasy, sci-fi, or travel? The choice is yours! New thematic missions are the real challenge.

Ratings and reviews

A brilliant adaptation of the board game, updated to be asynchronous and with tons of variant modes and a progression system. You even unlock the variant modes as options to use in the for-fun games you can invite friends to =) On the day that I downloaded they were having some type of server issue that made the game regularly time out (and then flat-out fail to even log in, as the problem progressed), but it's been smooth sailing in the week since then!

great interface and expansion upon the original board game. trying to get my gamer friends to join so we can play together without having to be physically together. no in game cash grabs. good variety of game options. interesting progression allows one to play new variants as you gain "experience" vs being overwhelmed with them all at once. really love the spymaster challenges where you can see the clues that other people give and how people responded. it's helped up my game.

This app... it's not there yet. The website for codenames works extremely well for actually playing codenames, no ads, unlimited games, anyone you want can join a room. If you'd like to play a bunch of weird variants of codenames with random strangers online or by yourself, yeah you can get the app. But if you want a simple user interface without having to pay, go online and don't be tempted by this app, it is NOT what you'd expect. It isn't advertised clearly and you can't get a refund.
