  • Fear not, English is available!

    Yes, if you jumped on the very first release it was in Czech. Now, English is readily available.

    This takes the board game and the browser game and adds several awesome dimensions! There are many different puzzle and multiplayer modes that you unlock with XP (and shiny trophies!), and with exposure to new and different dynamics over time.

    CGE gamified their already awesome game which is super meta and I’m here for it.

  • English now in app and app running smoothly!

    The app is now in English and the developers did a great job in fixing the launch bugs. There's plenty of players and every level you gain expands the game so much further. It's super addicting and I'm having tons of fun.

  • Update fixed language issue

    When I first downloaded the app, everything was in Czech with no option to switch to English. I deleted it and planned to request a refund after the charge cleared. Fortunately, the developers resolved the issue. When I redownloaded it, I could choose between English and Czech right from the beginning. The game is straightforward in a positive way—easy to navigate and play. Some parts involve guessing words, while others require providing clues. It exactly what I would want from the digital version of codenames

    Hello, thank you for your review. Please check the most recent app version 1.48.3332. English is available there.
  • Awesome!

    Loving the app since they fixed the language issue. My only suggestion would be to add a feature where you can jot down potential clues when you’re playing as the operative. That way you don’t forgot when it eventually becomes your turn again.

  • Excellent Implementation of a Modern Class

    I had the great fortune of beta testing this app a while back. I was obsessed with it back then and now with the actual release -- more than a year later -- am addicted once again. As some folks mention here, the app was a bit bumpy on the first day, but the issues were addressed immediately.

    In addition to the standard game of Codenames, there are tons of clever variations and achievements to unlock. If you've ever enjoyed the tabletop version of Codenames, you will absolutely love this release. Recommended most highly!

  • Amazing Game, Amazing App!!

    I’ve always loved Codenames and now have a way to play with even more people. The app design is beautiful and intuitive and the additional game modes are so fun and creative. I especially love the “scenarios” mode where I get to compete to come up with the best clue in a given board.

    11/10 highly recommend

  • Must Play!

    Such a fun game. Have loved playing the board game version for years and now am so excited to be able to play the app version. The daily challenges are fun and the new game variants are really really great. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

  • Amazing!!

    I absolutely love this app!! Have played the table tap and desktop version which are great and this one is SO fun and with so many options and missions. I downloaded it a few hours after it came out and worked very well for me which is impressive considering it is new and all the amazing features, techs, art, effects, ability to play with friends or strangers. Feels very safe fluid. The game play is wonderful and so fun to see the characters come to life too. How they arrange everything between players and the options is very clever and nothing I have seen or could imagine and it such a rewarding game experience. LOVE IT!!

  • Codenames

    This is a great game! I know most reviews are saying that the game isn’t in English, and yes for the first few hours after launch it wasn’t possible to switch it to English, but that has now been fixed. Definitely worth the 5 dollars.
