Overview

Wavelength challenges two teams to read each other's minds. One player on each team, the Psychic, knows the exact location of a target on a hidden spectrum dial. They must then provide a clue that will help their teammates guess where that target is located. The closer the team guesses to the target, the more points they score.

The catch? The spectrum represents a concept with two extremes, like "Hot to Cold" or "Fantasy to Science Fiction." The Psychic must find a clue that perfectly bridges the gap between these extremes, all while the opposing team tries to throw them off balance. It's a game of subtle communication, creative thinking, and laugh-out-loud moments as you discover just how (or how not!) in sync you are with your friends.
