Frequently Asked Questions

The Wavelength Game online is a free, browser-based adaptation of the popular party game Wavelength. It's a telepathic game where one player (the Psychic) gives a clue to help others guess the position of a hidden target on a spectrum between two opposing concepts. For example, if the spectrum is 'Hot' to 'Cold' and the target is near 'Hot', the Psychic might give the clue 'Coffee' to hint at the position.

The Wavelength Game online supports 2 to 20 players. In Classic Mode, 2 players take turns being the Psychic and Guesser. In Party Mode, players are divided into two teams (2-10 players per team) that compete against each other.

The Psychic is the player who sees the hidden target location on the dial. Their job is to give a single clue (usually one word or short phrase) that helps their teammates guess where the target is positioned on the spectrum. The challenge is giving a clue that accurately represents the target's position between the two opposing concepts.

A good clue clearly indicates the position on the spectrum. For example, if your spectrum is 'Good' to 'Evil' and the target is slightly toward 'Evil', you might say 'Politician' - something that's perceved as neither perfectly good nor completely evil. The best clues are ones where most people would agree on where they fall on the spectrum.
