I purchased Codenames as a gift for a friend, and I can honestly say it was a home run in every way! The game itself is a fantastic blend of clever wordplay, lighthearted competition, and team strategy. Whether you’re a first-time player or a seasoned board game enthusiast, it’s quick to learn but offers endless replay value — every round feels fresh and different. One of the things I love about Codenames is its versatility. You can play it with just a few people for an intimate, puzzle-solving experience or with a larger group for a hilarious, high-energy party vibe. It works equally well for game nights, holiday gatherings, or even casual afternoons when you want something fun and engaging that gets everyone talking and laughing. On the delivery side, I was extremely impressed — the shipping was blazing fast, and it arrived in perfect condition. The box was crisp and undamaged, the cards were neatly sealed, and everything felt brand new and high quality. It’s the kind of presentation that makes it feel special right out of the package, so I didn’t even have to wrap it much to make it gift-ready. Overall, I can’t recommend Codenames enough. It’s clever without being complicated, social without being chaotic, and the quality and speed of delivery just made the whole purchase experience a 10/10. If you’re looking for a crowd-pleaser that works for almost any group of people, this is it. Totally recommend

So fun!!! This is a staple game for family and friends gathering!!! Simple rules, they improved the cards and font so it’s easy to read from both sides of the table, holds up quality-wise, and you set the pace of the game so it can be as casual or competitive as the group makes it!

I bought this for my roommate. It’s a simple game, and easy to pick up, but actually quite the challenge – and there are plenty of ways to make it even more challenging. Really, this could be played with anyone who can read and follow simple instructions, so kids of many ages are welcome! The instructions have a bit of quirky humor, probably because it was made in Europe, but are easy to understand, and the build quality of the game is good. It’s a nice small package, so it’s easy to take with you.

I put off trying this game for so long because the premise didn't really interest me; I'm not normally a huge fan of word games. However, I regret not buying it when I first heard about it. The Good: This game is comprised of a stack of double-sided codenames cards, stack of key cards, cardboard agent/bystander cards, a plastic card stand, and a timer. That's it, and there's nothing wrong with any of it. Cards are easily readable from either side of the table, colors on the "key" cards are vibrant, and the cardboard cards are solid with good artwork. Setup is super quick - lay out a grid of 25 codenames, separate the agent/bystander cards, and draw a key card - done. Instructions are easy to understand, and easy to teach to new players. We take this game almost everywhere we go and have taught countless people to play, both gamers & non-gamers alike. Gameplay is team-based, and your experience can vary widely (in a good way) depending on the group you play with. As a spy master, you are playing to your teammates. Sometimes that's super thinky, other times fairly simple. While sometimes a really close or thinky game can last for a while, I've never once gotten this game out and stopped at a single game. The design of the key cards & random layout of the codenames cards means the game has virtually unlimited replayability. The Bad: If I had to pick something, I would say the downtime while the spymasters come up with their clues. This will also depend on your group. While there isn't much for teams to do while spymasters think, our groups typically use that time to sow confusion among the other teams, so it's rarely a dull time. The Indifferent: I definitely consider this a party game. I don't feel it can be played at anything less than 4 players, and really shines at 6 and up. If you want a 2-player version, try Codenames: Duet. If you're considering this game, all I can say is "buy it". Play it, and I don't think you'll regret it. It's one of those games that is really hard to explain what it is that grabs you, but once it does you'll want to keep playing. I watched countless reviewers singing this game's praises, but still didn't think it sounded like something I would enjoy. How wrong I was. You can find this game on sale anywhere from $10-$20, and I can think of very few games that bring as much fun and replayability at such a low cost.

It's a party game, and everyone can play -- even the kids. The concept is simple: get your team to guess which words on the board belong to your team using single-word clues before your opponents do the same. Infinite replay possibilities. You could even add your own words if you wanted to get creative. One of the great things about this game is that players can come and go, or get distracted. We often play it with a large group where some of the players are even cooking meals, so they leave and come back and it doesn't disturb the game. We throw this game into the car whenever we travel, but I wouldn't recommend trying to actually play it IN the car. You need a proper table that isn't going to get bumped or knocked-over, or the whole game is ruined.
