Reviews & Awards

Codenames has captivated players and critics alike with its clever gameplay and endless replayability. Here's what the world is saying—and the honors it’s earned along the way.

Shut Up & Sit Down

Codenames is a deep game with simple rules, it’s tense and silly at the same time, and it’s fun when you’re winning and even better when you’re losing.

Smosh Games

Forget games that you have seen before, because this is the only one that you need to know!

Andrew Garfield, Hollywood actor

It's a great game that I got into five or six year ago... It's just a really fun!

Sofia Coppola, filmmaker

I’m not really a board-game person, but it’s more like a word game that you play on teams, and it was really fun.

Charis McGowan, The Guardian

My mother and I, like millions of other people across the world, have become addicted to Codenames, the biggest breakthrough board game of the past 10 years.

Jupiter Hadley, PocketGamer.com

Codenames is a fantastic way to casually play the board game against people on the internet. I quite enjoy the daily quests as little practice rounds and the power-up features that you can find within the level.

We can tell you that it might be the best party game out there. Everyone who tries this game, gamer or not, loves it.

Cerviperus

So much fun & replayability crammed in a small box! I put off trying this game for so long because the premise didn't really interest me.
