It is called the "Mission Map". It gives you a way to string together multiple games. Look at page 9 of the rules for more about that. Dave

Q: What other Codenames versions is Duet compatible with?

Honestly, I think the Duet version of the game is compatible with any other Codenames version. The main difference is that instead of having a single-sided "grid" of the words, the duet version uses a dual-sided grid that differ on each side so each player is trying to guess different cards. You can use those grids for the playing cards that come with Duet or with the cards that come from any other version of Codenames.

Q: Is this a cooperative game then?

It is! You can play with just two people, or you can play in teams with more people (like original Codenames). There's not a lot of talking going on during the game, because you just give one-word hints, but you cooperate in the same vein as solving a puzzle together.

Q: Is this game appropriate for children age 10?

It requires a reasonably well developed capacity for lateral thinking, as well as a wide-ranging vocabulary (not necessarily a sophisticated vocabulary however). The rules can be easily taught and the box lists playing age as 11+, so I suspect bright 10 year-olds could play. The challenge level can also be modified and so feel less daunting. I have not yet played it with children of that age so take my comments with a pinch of salt! You may also want to consider Codenames: Pictures which has similar rules but uses images rather than words. Note that it is for larger competitive group play, while Duet is a 2-player cooperative game. If you buy both games, as I recently did for a friend, you could mix the image cards with the 2-player rules.
