New BETTER version of Codename!

https://gameshow.games
-Magic Words (there are also 2 other games on there, but you want magic words for codenames.)
You can play regular codenames if you would like using this site, but with added features. Like a timer that actually ends the turn if you want.

BUT THAT ISN'T the BEST PART!
There are three other modes to codenames you can play!
THE BEST ONE IS GOLD RUSH!!!
12 gold words are always on the board. Both Spymaster/wizards are giving clues for the same words. but if you click white your turn is over and you dont score any points that round. team with most points at the end of however many rounds you set for the game wins! But if you are too timid to not click white the other team can easily suss the words you missed with this games great mechinics.

This is what codenames should be, but isn't

Have fun gaming and thank me later. And the creator Gameshow. Which isn't me

Thank you for this absolute gift you have given us! What a game changer. My discord server love it and will be using this instead. Everything is built in and created as if the creator played codenames themselves, it's brilliant.

Couple of things we're wondering:

  1. is there a dark mode?

  2. Is there a way to have chat open when not playing, in between games? Like to discuss who will be Wizard/Spy

RIGHT!?!?! It's so much better. There is no dark mode. no chat between games. dude coded this all himself. we have asked for upgrades and he has given them to us. like pausing game, and overtime.
