Give and guess clues together — Codenames rebuilt for two
Vibe's take
Cooperative, tense, clever, intimate
Who it's for
Couples and duos who love Codenames and want a cooperative twist. The campaign mode adds long-term goals to a quick game.
Not for you if…
Skip if you prefer the competitive team dynamic of the original Codenames.
Two-player cooperative version of Codenames where both players give and guess clues. Work together to identify all agents on the board before running out of turns — with the added danger that some contacts are assassins for both sides.
