Codenames is returning to the Wizarding World!

✨ Big news from CGE! We’re beyond excited to unveil Codenames: Back to Hogwarts – a spellbinding twist on the classic word game, inspired by the Wizarding World! 🧙‍♂️✨

Imagine yourself as a first-year Hogwarts student representing your house—Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin. Each house brings its own magical flair and special abilities to the table, making every game a brand-new adventure.

In this version, your prefect holds the key to the secrets of Hogwarts. Use clever one-word clues to navigate the mystery card grid, uncover hidden wonders, and outwit your rival houses. But be warned… Argus Filch is always watching. One wrong move, and he could hand the win to your opponents!

With asymmetrical house abilities and the House Cup metagame that tracks wins across play sessions, this isn’t just a game—it’s an experience that evolves with every match.

Whether you’re a seasoned Codenames fan or a die-hard Harry Potter fan, Codenames: Back to Hogwarts is your ticket to a magical tabletop showdown.

Codenames: Back to Hogwarts is available for pre-orders now on the CGE online store, together with CGE’s other late 2025 releases, Codenames: Pictures, SETI: Space Agencies, and Wispwood. Secure your copy at https://cge-shop.com/codenames-harry-potter-preorder.

So… which house will you represent?
