Two teams. Twenty-five words. One deadly assassin. Create a room, share a 4-letter code, and play with 4–10+ friends on any phone — no sign-up, no download.
Play Codenames — takes 10 secondsEverything you love about word-guessing party games, minus every bit of friction.
Type your name, tap New game, share the code. No accounts, no emails, no app store — the game starts before your group chat stops buzzing.
Everyone joins from their own device — iPhone, Android, laptop, all mixed in one room. The board syncs live for the whole party.
Every game draws 25 words from a pool of 700+ across animals, food, travel, pop culture and more. Fresh boards, forever.
If you've played Codenames, you already know. If not — you'll get it in one round.
Start a room and share the 4-letter code or invite link. Friends join instantly from their phones.
Spymasters give one-word clues like "OCEAN · 2". Teammates debate, then tap the words they think match.
Find all your team's words first to win — but tap the hidden assassin word and you lose instantly. 💀
WordSpies is the main event — but the table has more on it, whether you're alone, two of you, or a full house.
The board race everyone grew up with. Play friends with a shared link, and bots fill any empty seat — so even one person gets a full four-way game.
Real physics on a shared table. Pot your balls, then the 8 — against a friend, or a bot that occasionally misses just like your friends do.
Connect 4 in thirty-second rounds against a friend or the bot — and Mind Meld, the two-player game where you try to type the same word at the same moment.
Make a profile, follow the people you play with, and chat between games. Your name and photo follow you into every game on the site.
Message friends directly, invite them to a room with one link, and get a push notification the moment someone wants a rematch.
Add WordSpies to your phone in one tap — it opens full-screen like a real app and your friends' invites reach you even when the site is closed.
Grab three friends and see who finds the assassin first.

"Being spymaster is the best kind of pressure. Gave a 3-word clue that actually worked and felt like a genius all week."
"Works perfectly on our phones, no one had to download anything. It's now the default game when friends come over."
