Codenames: Critical Role Adventures - Vox Machina Expansion (EN) ^ Q3 2026

Vox Machina Joins the Codenames Table

The Mighty Nein had their moment — now it's time to return to where it all began. This expansion pack brings the world of Vox Machina into your Codenames sessions, pulling vocabulary straight from the first Critical Role campaign and dropping you back into the streets of Emon, the halls of Whitestone, and every memorable moment in between. If your group has lived and breathed Campaign One, the clues are going to hit differently.

What's in the Pack

Czech Games Edition has built a small but punchy addition to the Codenames: Critical Role Adventures system. The pack includes 42 thematic words drawn from the Vox Machina campaign, 2 new item cards, and — most notably — Keyleth herself as a new playable character for use in your Exandria Adventures game mode. It's a tight, focused expansion that rewards familiarity with the source material and gives returning players fresh vocabulary to puzzle through.

A note on compatibility: this pack requires a copy of Codenames: Critical Role Adventures to play. It is not compatible with the standard base game of Codenames — make sure you have the right foundation before picking this up.

Who It's For

This one is squarely for Critical Role fans who already own the Codenames: Critical Role Adventures base set and want more. It's a natural pick for groups who have finished Campaign One and want to see how deep their knowledge actually runs when someone is giving them one-word clues for "SCANLAN" and "RIPLEY." At its core, Codenames is a light, fast word-association game suitable for teens and adults — this expansion layers on fan-specific depth without changing the fundamentals. Ideal for game nights, watch-along sessions, or any gathering where Critters outnumber casuals.

Highlights

The addition of Keyleth as a playable character is the standout feature here — it's not just new words, it's a mechanical addition to the Exandria Adventures mode that deepens the overall Critical Role Codenames experience. The 42 Campaign One–themed words offer a genuine test of fandom knowledge, creating moments where only the true Vox Machina devotees at the table will catch what the spymaster is going for. Compact, affordable, and purpose-built for fans who want more.
