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, but can only get your team to guess by:
(1) Drawing a card with a pair of binaries on it, such as: Job - Career, Rough - Smooth, Fantasy - Sci-Fi, Sad Song - Happy Song, etc....
(2) Giving a clue that is *conceptually* where the bullseye is located between those two binaries.
For example, if the card this round is HOT - COLD, the Psychic’s clue needs to be on the spectrum between extremely hot on the far left side to extremely cold on the far right side.
After the Psychic gives their clue, your 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 you guess, the more points your team scores!
