Codenames: Back to Hogwarts

Codenames: Back to Hogwarts is a cooperative word-deduction game from CGE that brings Harry Potter characters, places, and objects into a clever team challenge in our Games & Puzzles collection.

Players divide into Hogwarts Houses—Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin—to work together toward a shared goal. One team member steps into the role of clue-giver, calling out a single word and a number to hint at specific cards on the board. Teammates talk through the options, debate potential matches, and point to the cards they think fit the clue while avoiding incorrect guesses. Special House abilities give players unique tactical moves during their turn, and scores can be logged across several matches to decide who wins the House Cup.

Key Features:

• Harry Potter Theme: Card deck features familiar characters, locations, and items from the Wizarding World.
• Unique House Powers: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin each have distinct abilities that influence strategy.
• Quick Gameplay: Rounds take roughly 15 minutes, fitting easily into weeknight family time or game nights.
• House Cup Scoring: A built-in tracking system lets teams tally points over multiple matches.
• Age Range & Players: Suitable for ages 8 and up; supports 4-8+ players.
