Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of their agents in the field. Their teammates know the agents only by their CODENAMES.

In Codenames: Pictures, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Spymasters give one-word clues that ideally relate to several agents on the board. Their teammates try to guess agents of the right color while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team — and everyone wants to avoid the assassin.

Codenames: Pictures differs from the original Codenames in that the agents are no longer represented by a single word, but by an image that contains multiple elements.

Classic with a slight twist

Great game and a classic. If you have the original this isn't necessary and more for those really into codenames.

Lots of laughter

This game always creates a lot of laughter around the table especially when ridiculous clues are given. Fun game!

Not as engaging

For some reason pictures just didn't trigger the same parts of the brain. It was not as engaging as the original game with words. Still a great game, however. This can be played with multi-lingual groups and mixed with the regular game.

Better than words

Love this one. I'm super visual and the pictures are easier to your together for be.

Good game

Fun but I prefer regular codenames

Brilliant introduction to deck building

My 6-year-old daughter loved this game. She's requested it 4 times since we first played it last night. The first words out of her mouth this morning were "Daddy, can we play the spaceship game again?"
Everything is so streamlined and easy to understand for kids. There is no text on the cards, just symbols. Everything is really clear (either get a coin, do a damage, heal some damage, or draw a card). Immediately my daughter understood the idea of buying cards from the same "team" so that they would work together. She plans ahead and buys cards that she needs to build up on her strategy. The art is cute and appealing. There is so much to love about this simple, relatively inexpensive game.
When I introduced this game, I explained that it is called a Deck building game because we build up our decks with more powerful cards, and I pointed out that there are lots of OTHER deck building games we can try later, ones with superheroes (Marvel Legendary), Star Wars (SW Deckbuilding Game), and Lord of the Rings (LOTR Deckbuilding Game). Halfway through our first game, my daughter said "I love this game. I think this might be my new favourite kind of game." I'm certainly looking forward to exploring more deck building games with her soon, but for now this is providing us with everything we need to consistently have a great time.
