The four houses of Hogwarts are coming back to life, and now you decide which side you're on. Codenames: Back to Hogwarts brings the iconic atmosphere of the wizarding world to the most popular association game classic, where Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin all appear as selectable houses. During the game, two houses always collide, but the others don't stay in the background either: all four houses add their own unique rule variant and extra game mode to the game, so the experience goes far beyond the mere Harry Potter theme.

The gameplay is based on the well-known basics of Codenames: one player is the spymaster of the team, who tries to hint at several keywords at once with a single word and a number. Teammates have to figure out what he's up to while avoiding the cards of the other house — and above all, the one fatal card that spells instant defeat. Concepts, places and characters of the wizarding world are vividly alive on the game board: Hogwarts, Forbidden City, Dementor of Azkaban, Triwizard Showdown, Weasley spells, Order of the Phoenix — they are all familiar, yet they hide a lot of association possibilities.

However, the different houses give you even more: each of the four houses has three special abilities that change the dynamics of the entire game. Because of this, which house you play in really affects the strategy and mood of the game — a huge advantage in terms of replayability.

Codenames: Back to Hogwarts is a lighthearted yet intense association experience that works great with family, friends, Potter fans and Codenames veterans alike. The graphics of the magical world and thematic components make the atmosphere festive even before opening the game.

If you're looking for a party game that combines the Hogwarts atmosphere, witty associations and varied game modes, then Codenames: Back to Hogwarts is the perfect choice - get ready, because every round a different house can claim the glory.

The language of the game is English.
