Spymasters give one-word clues to help their teammates identify secret agents hidden among mysterious images.

The updated edition of Codenames: Pictures features refreshed artwork, a revised set of images, a bold new box design, and an insert to keep everything organized. It’s a fresh visual spin on the classic game of deduction, perfect for players who love creative thinking and interpreting subtle visual clues. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the world of espionage, this version offers a stylish and engaging way to play.

What are these mysterious images on the map? They’re visual codes—clues to locations where spies must rendezvous with secret agents!

In this newly updated version of Codenames: Pictures, the spy world gets a visual twist, now featuring refreshed artwork, a revised set of images, a bold new box design, and a neat insert that keeps your game organized.

Two rival spymasters know the identity of agents hidden across the board. Using one-word clues, they send cryptic messages to guide their operatives to the right image. But beware—a single misstep could lead to an enemy agent… or the deadly assassin.

To play Codenames: Pictures, lay out 20 cards, each featuring a quirky image. The spymasters share a key card that shows which pictures correspond to agents from each team, innocent bystanders, and the assassin. They then take turns giving one-word clues followed by a number. The clue should relate to multiple cards that their team should guess, and the number tells teammates how many cards are linked to that clue.

Teammates guess one card at a time. If they guess correctly, they can keep going. But if they pick a card belonging to the opposing team or an innocent bystander, their turn ends. And if they choose the assassin? Game over.

Play continues with each spymaster offering new clues until one team successfully identifies all of their agents — or someone tragically uncovers the assassin.

Unlike the original Codenames, where words led the way, Codenames: Pictures challenges players to decode layered, imaginative images—each one packed with multiple visual elements and hidden meanings.

Be clever and trust your instincts. Only one team will make contact with all their agents and win the game!
