Codenames: Back to Hogwarts. DEVIR

The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry welcomes you once again. Veteran students are responsible for ensuring that the new first-year class learns everything they need: how to find their classes, how to enter the common room at the end of a long school day, and, if necessary, how to sneak through the castle without being detected. This themed version of the classic Codenames by Vlaada Chvátil is designed for groups of 4 to 8 players, ages 10 and up, with games lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. The objective is the same as in the original game: players, divided into teams, try to guess all the words or images before the opposing team. In this edition, all clues are related to the Harry Potter universe and include special game modes. Teams can choose a Hogwarts house and benefit from an exclusive ability, or compete for the House Cup, where each victory earns points for their faction. Whether you know the original game or not, Back to Hogwarts is very easy to learn. Each team chooses a prefect, who will give the clues. The rest of the players take on the role of first-year students from rival houses. On each turn, the prefect will say a word and a number, and their team must guess which cards it refers to. After each choice, it will be revealed whether it belongs to their house, the rival house, a locked door, or Argus Filch. In the latter case… they lose the game immediately! When all the crests of one house are revealed, its members claim victory.
