Can you communicate successfully under deep cover? Classified is a cooperative, code-breaking party game that requires deduction, creativity, and forward-thinking to win. Instead of competing against each other, players must work together as a team of spies to encrypt secret messages and transmit them to their allies. Scribble out numbers, spell words, and pass clues to your field operatives to identify targets before the enemy intercepts your intel.
The game challenges your team across two distinct tactical phases to secure a victory:
Special Ops 1 (The Setup): Each player receives a secret mission card identifying their specific target photo from a lineup of six images. You must scribble a descriptive clue word on your code card; if your fellow spies guess your target photo correctly, your team wins that code card.
Special Ops 2 (The Transmission): The stakes get higher. A target player is secretly assigned a photo, but they can only use the code cards won during Phase 1 to help the team guess the correct image.
Defeat the Enemy: If the team guesses correctly, you secure the photo. If you fail, the enemy steals it. Once everyone takes a turn as the target, count your photos—your team must collect more than the enemy to win the game.
