Codenames: Harry Potter
Team up with one partner to find the Order of the Phoenix hidden in twenty-five words, one careful clue at a time.

You and one other Harry Potter fan want a quick, clever word puzzle that only works as a true two-person team.

You want a game for a bigger group, since this edition is built specifically around a tight two-player partnership.

About this game
Codenames: Harry Potter turns the beloved word game into a two-person mind-meld set in the Wizarding World. You and your partner sit across a shared key card that only you can see your half of, each giving single-word clues to guide the other toward hidden Order of the Phoenix members hiding among twenty-five code words. Guess right and you keep going, guess a card the other player secretly marked as a Death Eater and the whole team loses instantly. Ten turns, or a bit more if you spend your precious Time-Turner tokens wisely, decide whether you rescue all fifteen agents together. Pure cooperative telepathy testing, wrapped in Harry Potter flavor.
