THE GATEWAY
CODENAMES
A classic competitive caper as two teams try to retrieve their secret agents first!
Words by Matthew Vernall
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to gather your friends and family for a fantastic word association game that pits two teams against each other as rival spy organizations.
There’s been a security breach and the special codenames for your team’s secret agents have been muddled in with a bunch of your opponent’s ones, as well as some random false flags and a terrifying assassin.
Only one person on each team (known as ‘The Spymaster’) knows exactly who’s who from the twenty-five possible options, but they’re not allowed to say any of the actual words face-up on the table.
It’s their job to get the rest of their teammates to successfully deduce which of the codenames out relate to their colour, all the while avoiding any opposing agents, or something worse!
