Wavelength: a free social guessing game for 2–8 phones

Your partner can see the hidden zone. Say one word. Find it.

The talking game of the collection. A scoring zone hides somewhere on a spectrum — Ancient to Modern, and a hundred others. One of you can see it. The other has to find it from a single word.

How to play Wavelength

2–8 players (even numbers only) · Aim the stick + LOCK IN · no download

  1. Join the Game

    Scan the QR code on the Game Screen with your phone to join as a player. Players are paired into teams of two.

  2. One Player Sees the Zone

    On each turn, one partner is the CLUE GIVER. The hidden zone appears on their phone and nowhere else — not on the big screen, not on their partner's phone.

  3. Say One Word Out Loud

    The clue giver says a single word that sits where the zone sits on the spectrum. Say it to the room; everyone is allowed to hear it, and everyone is allowed to have an opinion.

  4. Swing the Needle and Lock In

    The guesser aims the big screen's needle with their stick and presses LOCK IN. The closer to the centre of the hidden zone, the more points — 4 in the bullseye, down to 1 at the outer edge, and 0 for a miss.

Wavelength FAQ

The questions people ask before the first round.

How many players can play Wavelength?

2–8 players, and it must be an even number — the game is played in pairs, and there is no role for a player without a partner.

Does everyone get a turn to give clues?

Yes. The clue giver alternates inside each team as the rounds go by, so both partners spend time on each side of the secret.

Can the guesser see the hidden zone?

No. The zone is sent only to the clue giver's phone, so the answer is never even in the guesser's device. Nobody can peek.

Is Wavelength competitive or co-operative?

Both — you and your partner are on the same side, and the pairs are competing against each other.

Do I need to be good at games to play?

Not at all. Wavelength is the one in the collection that is entirely about knowing the people you are playing with.
