In Codenames, two teams compete for recognising their words. The captains give one-word clues that point to multiple words on the board. Their teammates try to guess those words while avoiding those that belong to the opposing team. There's also a black word that causes a team to lose if guessed.

*** This is my attempt of improving the words management for the 2 team captains. The app helps you have all your words in a single screen so you can better think of ways of combining them. It uses bar-code scanning for getting the words, and transfers them to the other captains via NFC for a smooth experience. Watch the video presentation and see for yourself.

Credits go to the original designer and all contributors. If you enjoy the game, support them by buying the physical version: 'Codenames'.
