Who it's for

About this game

Codenames: Disney Family Edition takes the beloved word-association party game and dresses it in Mickey ears for the whole family. Two spymasters give one-word clues plus a number, trying to steer their team to the right Disney-themed words on the grid while dodging the other team's words and the game's trickiest trap card. It keeps the tense, satisfying push-your-luck feeling of the original but softens the sting for younger players, so a bold guess still feels thrilling without the harsher penalties of the classic version. Rounds fly by in about fifteen minutes, and it's an easy sell to relatives who've never played a word game before.
