Great Game…But There Needs To Be Fixes
I just started playing this game a couple of days ago, and I love it! I really like the adaptation of the board game and the additions of side games and achievements. It makes for a captivating game that you can spend a long time on.
However, there is one issue that I have with this game which is the long wait times for a lot of the games. I mean some take hours to days to play. I know that the developers encourage to keep multiple games open so that you can play more, but I don’t that enjoy a whole lot. The reason why is that most of the games end up stalling near the last move and it clogs up the inbox. I would rather have games where I could complete all the way through with one play-through. So if there is a way to optimize the experience that would be great.
With all that I said, I do recommend this game if you are a fan of the board game since it is really fun to play! Just be aware of waiting for a while for some games.

Fantastic!
Really enjoy this game! Lots of opportunities for different words and challenges.
My only real issue is the verdicts. So many non-words get approved simply because “ish” or “like” are added as suffixes to real words. Like cubed > cubedish and webbing > webbinglike. In most cases, the actual English words are a fine clue. Cubedish doesn’t add much to the word cubed and you could use webbed or webbing instead of webbinglike. It’s a cheap way to add a potential modifier to a word. For example you can’t say “not x” or “non x” as a false prefix for something it’s not.
Why do people have such a hard time just sticking to the rules and English in these games?

Brilliant adaptation but read the reviews first!
It’s a great adaptation of the party game
BUT, I wish I had dug into the reviews before buying. There is some limited offline content but it is - as the devs say repeatedly in their responses here - primarily an asynchronous multiplayer game where your opponents will step away for apparently hours (days?) at a time
If you’re looking for a faithful adaptation to just fire it up and play a quick game this is not that
★★★★★positiveCjkbor · 2026-08-22 · v2.6.4579
Love this game
We often play the board game Codenames with our friends. This is a great alternative when you don’t have 4 people. We play games when we camp. The board game doesn’t work in wind, but the electronic version is a great alternative.
★★★★★neutralDc:45 · 2026-08-12 · v2.6.4579
So much fun, but do wish there was like a computer automatic system that could play the opposing sid
I do love this app. I just wish there was a way you could like. Kind of play with a computer because having to wait for people to respond is kind of annoying but I do get it.
★★★★★neutralPoppy1629 · 2026-08-12 · v2.6.4579
Fun but …
This is a fun game, but apparently it is not played in real time. After waiting over an hour for the other operative to play, I left the game to cook dinner. Then I got a message that if I left games I would be considered an “unreliable player “. How long am I expected to wait? I was going to ask friends to get this game so we could play together, but now I don’t think so.
★★★★★neutral1776news · 2026-08-09 · v2.6.4579
Needs more to do
It’s a great game. Very well designed. The issue is: too many times there’s nothing to do. I’m waiting for other players to make their move.
★★★★★negativeWarrenG31 · 2026-06-21 · v2.5.4507
Makes No Sense
I played the game and enjoyed it up until I had to start creating clues… the game makes no sense. There should be a better tutorial or something…. Also, there is no explanation as to why certain words are associated with clues. It’s just blind guessing at times.
★★★★★positiveluis____23 · 2026-06-10 · v2.5.4497
the best mobile game
Soo good to killl. time and whatnot; just wish there was more stuff to do offline, like maybe downloading daily cases
also would like better image sharing functionality like being able to share hints you gave to previous games/rounds without it showing the answers to show off how cool of a hint u made

Saving me $$$$$
This has replaced gambling and other expensive go to’s. Plus it’s building my linguistic skills.
★★★★★positiveScrawman · 2026-05-29 · v2.5.4484
Over all a fun game
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.

Online play
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.
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingBolroc · 2026-05-19 · v1.57.4430
Fantastic
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.
★★★★★positive(('('_('_')_')')) · 2026-05-13 · v1.57.4430
Worth it
Great but wish it were vertical instead of horizontal
★★★★★neutralHyun-Bin · 2026-05-05 · v1.57.4430
Vertical Orientation Mode
Please consider adding an option to play in vertical orientation mode. This would make a big difference usability and overall experience, especially since vertical orientation already works in the mobile browser but not in the paid app.

Dog water
At first, I thought I’d give this game a week to preform. I’ve had it two hours since installing for $5 and it’s the worst game i’ve ever paid for, let alone ran. It’s crashed 6 times since i unlocked the spymaster feature. An hour ago. This game is clearly full of bots. Don’t waste your money. There’s no real people. You will always play against ai. Worst $5 i’ve ever spent. For that amount of money without real players, atleast fix the game thrives.

Broken Gameplay in Arabic Version – Exploited and Unfair
The Arabic version of this game has a serious gameplay issue that completely ruins the experience. Because Arabic contains many words and variations, players have found an easy exploit: they use the first letter of each word as a clue system. This basically bypasses the intended mechanics and turns the game into something unfair and uncompetitive.
What’s worse is that a large percentage of players rely on this method—sometimes right from the start, but often switching to it when they begin losing. This removes any sense of skill, strategy, or fun. Instead of clever wordplay, the game becomes about exploiting a loophole that the system doesn’t seem capable of detecting or preventing.
As a result, matches feel pointless, especially for players who want to play the game as intended. Until this issue is addressed—either by improving moderation, restricting certain clue patterns, or adapting the system for Arabic—the game will continue to feel broken in this language.
I hope the developers take this seriously, because in its current state, the Arabic version is not enjoyable to play.

Can’t actually play this game
I bought this expecting an offline game, but it’s online-only. Quick to find a match, but players don’t engage. I’ve waited 30+ minutes multiple times for spymasters to give clues or for players to answer. It’s infuriating. I feel like I wasted my money on a game I can barely play.
★★★★★neutralAPValerius · 2026-04-18 · v1.57.4396
Inaccessible at best
I cannot shrink the window to only take up half my screen. Therefore I cannot play with groups who simultaneously use Zoom cuz I gotta view a sign language interpreter on Zoom. I woulda loved to play this game but I need my language access for communication during gameplay.
★★★★★neutralAnxious laser engraving shop · 2026-03-30 · v1.57.4360
Needs tweaking
Good game, but the European players need to be separated from the Americans because we use different terminology. There are TONs of wrong guesses because of this.
★★★★★positiveRoundyRoundy · 2026-03-28 · v1.57.4360
They fixed the connection issues.
Haven't had any issues since the recent fix they made.
★★★★★positiveReal Notsus · 2026-03-28 · v1.57.4360
Great
This is a great game they could of done bare bones and just put the game in this app but instead they added TvA (team versus assassin), VIP missions (special missions with special rewards) goals, Spymaster and Operative challenges, trophies, a whole jury thing for deciding if a word is invalid or not, and a whole bunch of things you can change
★★★★★positivecraftingTaz · 2026-03-18 · v1.57.4239
Amazing game
This game is amazing takes the board game and makes it so much better
★★★★★positiveTom · 2026-03-06 · v1.57.4239
Well-Designed Game
This game is well-designed, not just as a game, but as an app. The interface is good, the achievements are good, engaging the community to judge user-generated words and to also generate puzzles is all done well.
★★★★★neutralModiya1881trip · 2026-03-03 · v1.57.4239
Jury
I think the jury system needs to be improved slightly to make sure misspelled words and names are excluded. It accepted “Goldboom” for (Jeff) Goldblum and “Abignale” for (Frank) Abagnale.
Otherwise, I’m enjoying the game even if it can take days for someone to take their turn.
