About the game
Wavelength is a social guessing party game where two teams try to read each other's minds across a hidden spectrum. A Psychic gives a conceptual clue toward a secret target point on a scale like Hot-Cold or Fantasy-Sci-Fi, and their teammates must guess where the dial should land. The closer the team's guess to the actual target, the more points they score. It's a game built entirely around clever, funny, and surprisingly revealing conversation.
