One word, one number, 25 files
Codeguess is a word game for 2 to 24 players. Two teams face off, Red against Teal. Only the two spymasters know which files belong to which team. Each turn they give their agents a single clue: one word and a number. "Ocean 3" means three files are linked to ocean.
The agents talk it over, mark files and reveal them. Hit one of yours and you keep guessing. A civilian ends your turn, a rival file helps the other team. Reveal the bomb and you lose on the spot.
Gadget cards: help, sabotage, chaos
Each team holds a hidden hand of gadget cards and draws a new one every turn. There are 22 cards in three rarities: common, rare and epic. The Compass lights up the row with the most of your files, X-Ray reveals a civilian. Against the other team you can drop a smoke screen, flip every file into mirror writing or jam the radio so their agents never hear the number. Sabotage stays secret until it strikes.
Hits earn credits, misses cost them, and credits buy extra cards. The team that's behind draws rare cards more often. Five presets range from "Classic" with no gadgets to "Chaos" with every card, or you build your own set.
An AI spymaster from two players up
Not enough people for two spymasters? Let the AI take over for one team or both, so a single agent per team is enough. Pick one of three levels: the Recruit gives simple clues, the Agent plays like a solid teammate, and the Master Spy links up to four files and plays its gadget cards with purpose.
Voice chat that knows the rules
No Discord needed. Voice chat is built in and decides who hears whom: agents hear each other, including the rival team. Spymasters hear every agent but only talk to each other, so nobody can leak what's on their key card.
More show, more tactics
- Combos up to ×3 for hits in a row and jackpot files with bonus points
- Radio call: the spymaster records a five-second extra hint, distorted as robot, helium or deep voice
- Objections with a vote when a clue breaks the rules
- A debrief after every mission with all clues, the files each spymaster meant and every radio call to replay
Made for streaming
Streamer mode hides your invite code, and the room code alone won't let anyone in. A privacy screen only shows the spymaster's colors while a key is held. Your Twitch chat can play along too: "!tip word" suggests clues when you're the spymaster, "!card 7" marks files when you're an agent.
