Getting started

• In Discord: join a voice channel, open the Activities menu (the rocket ) and pick Codebreakers. Everyone in the call can hop into the same game.
• In a browser: open the site, sign in, press Create room and share the 6-letter code or invite link.
• Discord and browser players can play in the same room.

• You and your friends are the agents. Split into two teams (red and blue); each team picks one spymaster and everyone else is an operative.
• The board has 25 word cards. Only spymasters can see which cards are their team's cards, which are harmless bystanders and which one is the assassin.
• Not playing? Watch as a spectator. Spectators can join a team mid-game if the host allows it (if you played on a team this game, only that team).

1. The spymaster gives one word and a number, e.g. “Ocean 2”: the word links two of their team's cards. Tip: tap your cards first and the number follows your picks.
2. Operatives discuss, then tap a card and press Reveal. You get the number + 1 guesses.
3. Your team's card? Keep going. A bystander or the other team's card ends your turn.
4. The assassin loses the game on the spot. Find all your team's cards first to win.

Clues can't be (or contain) a word that's still on the board. Hosts can relax this rule.

• Look for connections across several cards: Moon, Wolf, Night could be “Howl 3”.
• Avoid clues that also point at the assassin.
• A small number that's safe often beats a big risky one.
• Rooms can allow drawn clues too: the spymaster sketches instead of (or as well as) typing.

• Try other ways to play in Game modes: co-op Duet, Pictures, Sudden Death, Three Teams and more.
• Hosting? See Rooms & hosting for settings, privacy and room codes.
• Questions? Check the FAQ.

The game is best in a voice call, but every room also has a text chat: the round button in the bottom-left corner.
