The team word-clue game in a larger format, with refreshed 2025 words and larger lettering than the previous XXL edition.

The 2025 English XXL box

This edition is identified by CGE00136 and EAN 8594156311360. CGE lists a Q4 2025 release and describes larger word lettering than the previous XXL edition, inside a more compact box. The revision also updates the word list, artwork, insert and rules presentation.

What the box includes

The game supplies 200 cards with 400 words, 16 agent tiles, a double agent, seven bystanders, an assassin, 40 keys, a rulebook and a RE-Wood stand. A round uses twenty-five word cards. Spymasters give a one-word clue and a number to help their teams identify the correct cards.

Compare size without guessing

Use the regular Codenames edition as a comparison for the format, and Pictures when you want image prompts. This record leaves physical dimensions unknown because the checked evidence does not establish a measured playing footprint. The publisher’s description of larger type is a product claim, not a hands-on accessibility assessment.

Player information

CGE lists 4–8+ players, ages 10+ and a 15-minute playing time. That is publisher guidance; your group and first rules explanation can change the time required.
