This game would be a 5 for me, but the fact it more than likely takes several minutes to log into the server is killing the experience. Staring at a black screen with one line of text for more than a few seconds seems archaic. I would suggest a little progress bar , so people can watch what is actually happening while they wait. Or the option to change apps while they wait (can they change apps?) Any ways, once the issue is fixed it will definitely get the rating it deserves ❤❤

Wow. They went far beyond simply bringing this great word clue game from the table to an app, and did a spectacular job with it! I'm completely hooked! The original (smart, insanely successful) Codenames is at the core, plus really creative options that aren't possible on a table. (Nothing extra to buy.) You're matched up to play with english speakers from all over, and can also do clue puzzles by yourself. Friends (both in-app and in life) may set up games with more flexible rules and chat.

I really like this app. We've enjoyed the board games (I even have a codenames shirt). The app is more than I was hoping for. I think they have really done a good job in representing the game and enhancing it. Come play!! It does need more people playing. I just start as many as possible (unless I'm doing pass and play) and don't worry about if people slack off. I hope that I can unlock more pass and play options. Thank you codenames team!
