Codenames

Codenames, created in 2015 by the Czech designer Vladimír Chvátil, is an innovative board game that combines word association and deduction. Born from the creator's personal experience, this game for 2 to 8 players is played in teams of spies trying to identify code words from subtle clues.

The ingenious mechanics of Codenames, based on team communication and reasoning, have earned it rapid international success, crowned by a prestigious award in 2016. Its popularity has spawned several variants, including a two-player version, an edition with images, and thematic versions. With 10 versions recorded, including a digital adaptation launched in 2023, Codenames continues to evolve, demonstrating its ability to captivate players around the world.
