Absolutely love the real-life version of this game, and delighted by the excellent job they've done in creating this app. Great to play with friends in person or on line, challenges to solve by yourself, and lots of people worldwide to play with too! UPDATE - still enjoying the game, but not sure that the Relentless Investigation upgrade is working properly. It looks like I've accrued over 200% XP Bonus, but this never gets added on to my solved cases. It's a little frustrating!

This app just doesn't stop giving! I assumed it would just be a basic codenames but there is so much it provides! You have achievements, medals, single player challenges, different game styles such as minesweeper and mirror mode, mini games like find the pug, leveling up and other reward schemes. The only downside is the games can be slow, it is designed that way similar to board game arena where you have to wait for others to take their turn. Fantastic app!

A brilliant adaptation of the board game, updated to be asynchronous and with tons of variant modes and a progression system. You even unlock the variant modes as options to use in the for-fun games you can invite friends to =) On the day that I downloaded they were having some type of server issue that made the game regularly time out (and then flat-out fail to even log in, as the problem progressed), but it's been smooth sailing in the week since then!
