Wavelength

Game ID: GID0384359
Collection Status
Description

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!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Iterative discussion and interpretation — Clues are designed to provoke discussion rather than precise answers, encouraging participants to justify reasoning and challenge each other’s interpretations in a social context.
  • Range-based clueing — A clue-giver secretly notes their target on a spectrum and provides a clue that nudges teammates toward a point on that spectrum. Teammates adjust a slider to match the presumed target and then reveal how close they were relative to the opposing team.
  • Two-team competitive guessing — Two teams each attempt to place their slider near the target. After both teams guess, the actual target is revealed and points are awarded based on proximity, with the central wedge often carrying different value than outer wedges.
  • Wheel-driven randomization — A wheel spin determines the exact points distribution or nudges the discussion in a given direction, adding an element of chance to balance skill and luck.

Quotes (from this video)
  • I have found that hosting board game nights is an excellent way to get non-board gamers into the hobby, because after they've played some of these games with you, they immediately say 'I need to go get this game, I love this game, can't believe I've never heard of it'
  • Our hobby is terrible at marketing itself to people outside of the hobby. Yeah once you get in, yeah you're golden.
  • There are so many board gamers out there than I think any of us even know, and even more people who are just adjacent to the hobby.
  • It's definitely not going to be for everyone, especially the charades part
  • The game takes a backseat to the discussion between rounds
  • You're actually better at this game if you can't draw well. The worse you draw, the more fun it is.
  • It's just been something that's been on my mind a lot because I've been hosting some game nights at my workplace
  • I'm the fun police, but in the opposite way - I want to bring the fun
