Review: Even better than the original Codenames! Plus, just two people can really enjoy this game! - My husband and I really enjoy playing the original version of Codenames with our friends, so we also bought this version designed to enhance the experience for just two players (or more,) not knowing what to expect. To our delight, Codenames: Duet is even more fun! While the basic theme and method of play are similar to the original game, we like that the way to success is truly cooperative. Whether it’s just the two of us playing or if we’re playing the game with others, the goal of the teams is to identify agents (the good guys) and assassins (the bad guys) so the good guys can prevail. The game is easy to set up and the rules are not complicated, so plays can start quickly. Included is also a way of playing (finding agents in different cities) that extends cooperative play but doesn’t put stress or pressure on any one player like the game Scotland Yard tends to do. Altogether, Codenames: Duet has been designed to provide an experience that encourages discussions of strategy and gameplay that are enjoyable for everyone and it doesn’t take hours to play. We recommend this game for couples, families and groups of people who prefer cooperative play where every player is important and involved rather than cutthroat competitions where people are only in it for themselves and their fellow players are essentially the enemy. With a Codenames: Duet, a relaxing and friendly time can be had by everyone. I pay full price for all of my desertcart purchases and I rarely write 5 star reviews. Codenames: Duet truly deserves 5 stars!
Review: Get it! - I'm not a fan of most spinoffs of games, but this one is great! I might actually like it more than the original. It's very versatile on the amount of players and it's so fun!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What other Codenames versions is Duet compatible with?**
A: Honestly, I think the Duet version of the game is compatible with any other Codenames version.

The main difference is that instead of having a single-sided "grid" of the words, the duet version uses a dual-sided grid that differ on each side so each player is trying to guess different cards. You can use those grids for the playing cards that come with Duet or with the cards that come from any other version of Codenames.

**Q: Is this a cooperative game then?**
A: It is! You can play with just two people, or you can play in teams with more people (like original Codenames). There's not a lot of talking going on during the game, because you just give one-word hints, but you cooperate in the same vein as solving a puzzle together.

**Q: Is this game appropriate for children age 10?**
A: It requires a reasonably well developed capacity for lateral thinking, as well as a wide-ranging vocabulary (not necessarily a sophisticated vocabulary however). The rules can be easily taught and the box lists playing age as 11+, so I suspect bright 10 year-olds could play. The challenge level can also be modified and so feel less daunting. I have not yet played it with children of that age so take my comments with a pinch of salt! You may also want to consider Codenames: Pictures which has similar rules but uses images rather than words. Note that it is for larger competitive group play, while Duet is a 2-player cooperative game. If you buy both games, as I recently did for a friend, you could mix the image cards with the 2-player rules.

**Q: What is the map for?**
A: It is called the "Mission Map". It gives you a way to string together multiple games. Look at page 9 of the rules for more about that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cooperative two person fun game!
*by A***H on April 3, 2025*

Finally found a great two person game! I love that it is a cooperative game which is nice for a change of pace....probably saving our marriage....lol! This game makes you think outside of the box to come up with good clues that fit your cards, but not fit the kill cards. My only con (ish) is that they give you way too many "key cards" that are so not needed....could play with 20 or 30 at the most and then give us more word cards instead as that is what you go through the most. We actually pulled out our regular Codenames and added those cards to this version. Also bought a game called Clue-nect that has picture cards and we use those for a variety. Very fun game!
