How It Plays

Communication Limits

You can't just say whatever you want to your teammates — the game limits what you can share, which makes every hint count.

Memory

You need to remember where things are or what happened earlier — a sharp memory gives you a real advantage.

Pattern Recognition

Spotting patterns quickly gives you an edge — the faster you see it, the faster you score!

Push Your Luck

You keep rolling or drawing for bigger rewards, but push too far and you lose it all — knowing when to stop is the real skill.

Team-Based Game

Players split into teams and work together to outplay the other side — teamwork makes the dream work!

About This Game

Codenames: Marvel combines the hit social word game Codenames, while featuring characters and locations from the Marvel Universe including, Spider Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers and Doctor Strange. D. and Hydra in this case — compete to see who can guess all of their field agents (identified by either a word or picture) correctly first — but those field agents are hiding in plain sight in a 5x5 grid that includes the agents of the other team, neutral words, and an assassin that will cause you to lose the game immediately if you guess it.…
