Codenames: Back to Hogwarts takes the beloved word association gameplay of classic Codenames and infuses it with a magical twist that both veteran players and newcomers will adore.

Step into the shoes of new first-year students at Hogwarts, where players will be sorted into two rival houses, each led by a knowledgeable prefect. These prefects are the key to uncovering the secrets hidden within the enchanted mystery card grid of the school. On their turn, the prefects provide their team with a cleverly crafted clue—a single word followed by a number that indicates how many related words they should guess.

As students, your mission is to explore Hogwarts by interpreting these clues and revealing one card at a time. You can keep guessing words as long as you’re correct, but be wary! If you stumble upon a rival house card, a locked door, or another obstacle, your turn will come to a sudden end. And don’t let groundskeeper Argus Filch catch you, or your game will end in defeat for your house!

Each win not only adds points for your house, but it also contributes to the ongoing House Cup competition, allowing for exciting challenges across multiple play sessions.

While the mechanics will feel familiar to Codenames aficionados, Codenames: Back to Hogwarts elevates the experience with new strategic depth through its asymmetrical abilities. Each house boasts two unique powers that can dramatically influence gameplay, offering both wizards and muggles thrilling new tactics to discover.

With every match featuring different house pairings and abilities, the combinations are endless! Dive into this magical realm and experience the engaging twists of Codenames: Back to Hogwarts.
