User Reviews

Overall, users praise this as a faithful, feature-rich adaptation of Codenames with depth and community. The main drawbacks are online-only matchmaking with long wait times, occasional server outages, and language/region quirks that affect play. The jury system helps but isn’t perfect, and players want offline/solo play options. If you value a premium, well-designed spin on the board game and don’t mind online play, this app offers a lot to enjoy with friends and family.

Pros

An excellent, faithful adaptation of the Codenames board game with deep, varied gameplay.
A rich feature set (spymaster/operative modes, VIP missions, trophies) and a jury for word validation.
Well-designed interface with solid achievements and a community-driven word puzzle system.
Great for playing with family and friends, and even supports playing against the computer.
Premium-feel experience at a bargain price.

Cons

Online-only play leads to long waits for matches and for opponents to take turns.
Frequent server downtime and connectivity problems disrupt play and daily challenges.
Language/region issues (e.g., Arabic clue exploits and regional terminology) can make the game unfair or confusing.
The jury/word-validation system can be inconsistent, allowing misspellings or names.
No offline or solo play mode; players want endless solo sessions.

I had a fun time playing it with family and strangers the only downside about playing with strangers is that you have to wait a long time to actually play but a very fun game.

Absolutely would not have paid for a game that is online play only. Fully defeats the purpose of a phone game. This was not listed anywhere I could find on the app page and I am very disappointed that gameplay is not accurately described anywhere in its listing.

The online version of this game is beautifully designed and super intuitive. It reflects the board game version fantastically. My Only gripe is I feel that the $5 price tag scares some people away (even though it’s worth it). Hopefully one day the price can go down so more new players will start.
