Basic idea: you have a bunch of cards with random photos on it. The best way to describe the cards is as if you had a random word generator, generated two words, and made it a THING. For example, ice and horse. You get an ice horse, or a horse slipping on ice in a photo. Then you lay out a random set of picture cards in a 5 x 4 arrangement on a table. A codemaster card is drawn which has red, blue, neutral, and one black tile labeled that coordinates to the 5 x 4 arrangements, which is randomized on each card so there are tons of options (think of this like a "key" to the map where the map is the board). 2 people get to be "codemasters" who will each pick out a team and delegate out one clue to by taking turns. The clue is typically one word and a number (indicating how many photo tiles are related to their word clue). The team that is able to guess all of their team's pictures (red or blue team) first wins. It gets fun and ballsy to see risky plays where someone tries general clues and says there are 4-6 tiles related to it. Promise its fun for groups of all sizes. Kids can play too. We play at home with friends and with friends at work during lunch all the time, and the Codenames series has been the favorite for both people who do and do not normally play board games. It is so easy to pickup and introduce new players and to make new friends within a group. Additionally, this game has so much replay value, between the different tile card photos, different players, different people as Codemasters, and different options for code tiles. I honestly even think you could mix and match with regular Codenames and Undercover Codenames to expand it all into one big deck. It is a little harder to work on large teams with a big group of people unless you all sit really close. Since there are no words, you have to point at the picture of the card and not touch it to generate discussion with friends and this is a little harder than saying a word (as it was in the original game). Not that this is a bad thing, but it is better with groups of people who are smaller than 8 I would say and who are sitting relatively close together. I think it is the most fun with 6-8 people. 4 can be too small since it feels very 2 vs. 2, with no one to discuss with. I recommend to get both this game and the original Codenames, both are fun in their own ways and bring fun to the table. Review: Fun and Engaging Party Game - Easy to learn and fun for all ages.

The original one with words or the picture one? I have played the original and just not sure which to get** A: My family prefers the one with words especially when we play with older family members who may have trouble seeing the small details in the pictures but both are very fun!! **Q: My mothers doctor suggested getting this to her to help with her memory (alzheimer's). does anyone use codenames pictures for that purpose ?** A: My grandfather who is in his eighties enjoys playing Codenames when we have family gatherings (his mind is still sharp, though he takes a little longer to think about things than he used to). But he likes to play as a supporting member of the team rather than take a lead with thinking through every possible connection for 25 cards (which might seem overwhelming and take too long, at least for the larger group to keep having fun). So, this might be an example of our team's dialogue during a turn of the game (we have the version of Codenames with printed words): "Chris gave us the clue *rescue* and said there are two cards that he wants us to find. Hmmm...cat, code, honey, fire... Maybe fire?" Grandpa: "Yeah, that seems like a safe guess." "OK, let's look for the second one. Maybe a helicopter because a helicopter can rescue someone who is injured? Oh, but there is also the word dog...and some dogs are trained to be rescue dogs. They both seem like good answers. Which one do you think Chris might have been thinking of?" My grandpa likes to help vote on which final guesses our team should give. We always give my grandfather the choice of whether he wants to take a turn being the clue giver or instead let another member of our team take an extra turn as clue giver. He never wants to be clue giver because he wisely recognizes that it would take a long time for him to think up the clues. It is a cognitively very challenging task to have a set of 25 word (or picture) cards and think of a clue that will make people guess only two or three specific cards while eliminating potential clues that might risk your team members mistakenly guessing one of the many cards that you don't want them to guess (Chris, in my above example, was probably thinking, "Uh oh...rescue dog? That connection didn't even occur to me! I hope they guess helicopter!") Thinking up good clues makes my brain kinda exhausted and I'm half my grandfather's age :-)My comments thus far have been about using Codenames with its traditional rules as a competitive game for 4+ players. There is a 2 player variation, which would have you and your mother playing cooperatively (and simulating an opposing team by covering up one of their eight assigned words each turn). I suppose you could come up with your own variations of how to use the cards. Perhaps if 25 cards is too many for your mother to think about, you could play a smaller version of the game with 16 cards or even 9 cards. You could abandon the regular game rules entirely if they are too complex and create a simpler game or activity. For example, you could set out just 4 cards and give your mom a clue and ask her to guess which two cards you were thinking of when you made the clue.Another game that might be worth considering is Dixit. It has dreamlike illustrations. I think of it as being a game that touches on the emotions, whereas Codenames seems to give more exercise to the logical side of the brain. If you think that your mom would enjoy the detailed illustrations (rather than find them bizarre and confusing), you could perhaps enjoy Dixit together. It is usually played as a lightly competitive game with three or more players, but if you google "Dixit two player" you'll find some ideas that people have suggested for two player cooperative versions of the game. **Q: What is the difference between this edition and the $14 one?** A: I'm guessing the $14 one you're referring to is the original Codenames. Codenames is played with cards containing a single word on each side. In Codenames Pictures, the cards are pictures. **Q: Is this the XLL size?** A: Nope. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Biggest hit game at work both avid board game players and people who do not normally play games, best for 6-8 people *by C***N on November 26, 2016* This game is so much fun for both people who have and have not played the original Codenames word game.

Perfect for groups, game nights, and getting everyone laughing and involved quickly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best games I've played in years *by W***. on October 21, 2018* This is a really cool game for 3-4 people (can work with 3, designed for 4). Maybe more. In short, you lay out 20 cards with odd images on them--like a windmill but with dragonfly wings instead of blades. One player on each team is a spy master who knows where their team's spies are hidden in that 4x5 grid of cards and provides clues to finding them. The other player has to make contact with their spies. First one to find all their spies wins. The trick is that the spymaster can only give 1 word and 1 number as a clue--no accents, gesturing, or any other information. Just a word and a number (like "wings, 3"). That word is the clue and the number is how many images it applies to. Sounds easy, right? It's not. This is a game of a) understanding your partner and knowing how they will interpret both the word you give them and how it relates to the cards before them, b) getting REALLY creative with your clue giving, and c) giving just the right clue that conveys the images you want without leading them down false paths. You can quickly tell who is on the same wavelength and who is not. I've played this with several other couples to great effect. My six year old also likes to play it. She's surprisingly good at guessing, but her limited vocabulary and knowledge of some terms makes her clue giving a little simple and often misleading ("round" for example, where my wife might say a more nuanced "rotund" to distinguish between a round person and a picture of a globe). My daughter also gets a little distracted by the fun of giving clues and sometimes loses the part about only giving it for her side's spies. So it's fun to play with her for the pure joy of it and it is great for building game play logic and pattern recognition skills--but you probably need at least an 8 year old to really start making it fun AND more competitive. ## Frequently Bought Together - CGE Czech Games Edition Codenames: Pictures, Party Board Game - CGE Czech Games Edition Codenames Boardgame - Codenames: Duet - The Two Player Word Deduction Game by CGE Czech Games Edition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/33917168-codenames-pictures](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/33917168-codenames-pictures) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
