You must be logged in to post a review.
Wavelength is a social guessing game in which two teams compete to read each other’s minds. Teams take turns rotating a dial to where they think a hidden bullseye is located on a spectrum. One of the players on your team — the Psychic — knows exactly where the bullseye is, and draws a card with a pair of binaries on it (such as: Job – Career, Rough – Smooth, Fantasy – Sci-Fi, Sad Song – Happy Song, etc). The Psychic must then provide a clue that is *conceptually* where the bullseye is located between those two binaries.
For example, if the card this round is HOT-COLD and the bullseye is slightly to the "cold" side of the centre, the Psychic needs to give a clue somewhere in that region. Perhaps "salad"?
After the Psychic gives their clue, their team discusses where they think the bullseye is located and turns the dial to that location on that spectrum. The closer to the center of the bullseye the team guess, the more points they score!

For its intended purpose, very low weight gaming without keeping any score, it's an absolute slamdunk. It's also a very Nice game in the way that it doesn't put people on the spot to perform or such.

Might be our favourite party game! Love the exuberant interaction this creates and the variability from the device but wish there were more cards. Regardless this is a step up from Just One and, for my taste, better than Codenames!

Cooperative party guessing game with two teams. Creates a lot of table talk. One player is the "medium" how gives a clue to card (e.g., love | hate). The other players have to guess where on the scale the correct answer is located. It is then revealed. + Very simple, easy to teach + Can be played online per videochat (just only one game needed) # Team or coop game # Also available as an app # Scoring is rather unimportant - Big box party game Similar games: * TOP TEN: somehow similar where each player may have to act silly. * Medium (guessing game, based on cards, works with less players)
