How Codenames: Party differs from the board game

Codenames: Party plays like the original — one-word clues, grids of cards, avoiding the assassin.

The Netflix version adds several new options:

  • Play using images instead of words

  • New modes:

    • Cooperative

    • Party (competitive with no teams)

    • Solo

  • A timer to keep things moving

  • Customize your player/avatar
