Codenames: Pictures – Find Your Agents in the Images 🕵️🖼️

The same mission as Codenames – but the codenames are pictures. Codenames: Pictures by Vlaada Chvátil, published by Czech Games Edition (CGE), is a team party game for 2 to 8 players aged 10 and up, in about 15 minutes.

Two teams compete. Each team's spymaster knows which pictures in the grid belong to their agents and gives a clue: one word and a number. Teammates try to touch the right pictures – but bystanders end your turn, and the assassin loses you the game. The first team to find all their agents wins.

🖼️ Picture Grid

Strange, surreal images instead of words.

🗝️ Key Cards

Only the spymasters see where the agents are.

💬 One Word, One Number

Connect several pictures with a single clue.

☠️ The Assassin

Touch the wrong picture and it is over.
