Wavelength World

Play Wavelength online with quick rounds, crowd-guessing strategy, and clue-writing competition.

  • Wavelength World is a community-driven version of Wavelength, the board game where a clue-giver tries to guide guessers to a hidden point on a spectrum.
  • The spectrum might run from something like cold to hot, underrated to overrated, or harmless to dangerous.
  • On this site, you score points by guessing the average opinion is of everyone else who plays this game.

Two ways to play

Guessing

  • First, contribute your own honest opinion about where the clue belongs on the spectrum.
  • That personal opinion becomes part of the dataset that generates the "answer" for the clue for everyone else.
  • Then make the scored guess: where do you think the global average will land after everyone who answers this clue has weighed in?
  • Your guesser leaderboard score depends on how accurately you place the pin on that global average opinion, not on whether your personal opinion matches anyone else's.

Cluing

  • The game gives you a target spot on a spectrum and you create a clue that should make other people land near that target.
  • After people guess on your clue, your cluer score is based on how close their average guesses are to the target you were shown.
  • Guessers and cluers have separate leaderboards, so you can compete both at reading the crowd and at writing clues that steer the crowd.
