Wavelength

Alex Hague, Justin Vickers, Wolfgang Warsch · CMYK · 2019

A social guessing game where one player sets a dial on a hidden spectrum between two extremes (hot-cold, underrated-overrated) and gives a clue. Their team debates where the target sits on the scale. Simple to play but generates the best conversations of any party game.

Why you'll like it

How it plays

Wavelength is a team party game about reading each other's minds. One player sees a hidden target on a dial and gives a clue that fits somewhere between two opposite ideas, like "hot" and "cold" or "overrated" and "underrated".

Their teammates discuss and turn the dial to where they think the target is. The closer they get, the more points they score. The other team can guess whether the answer is left or right of the dial for bonus points.
