What is Wavelength?
Wavelength is a party game about reading each other's minds. Each round, a spectrum appears between two extremes — like "Underrated" to "Overrated" or "Bad Superpower" to "Good Superpower" — and a hidden target is placed somewhere on that spectrum. One player sees the target and gives a clue. Everyone else guesses where they think it lands. The closer your guess, the more points you earn.
Wavelength Online brings this experience to your browser for free. Create a game, share the code, and start playing in seconds — whether you're in the same room or across the world.
Play With Any Number of Friends
Wavelength Online scales to fit your group. The game supports 2 to 12 players and adapts to any size:
- 2 players: Take turns giving clues and guessing — perfect for couples or a quick 1v1.
- 3-5 players: The sweet spot for One Psychic mode. One clue-giver, everyone else guesses.
- 6-12 players: Use Teams mode to split into two teams and compete head-to-head, or try One Guesser mode where everyone gives clues for a single guesser.
Friends can join from any device with a browser — phone, tablet, or laptop. No app downloads, no account creation. Just share the game code and go.
Make It Yours With Custom Prompts
Wavelength Online comes with a library of built-in spectrum prompts, but the real fun starts when you create your own. The custom prompts feature lets you write, save, and reuse your own spectrums — turning every game into something unique to your group.
- Create prompts based on inside jokes your friend group will love
- Design themed rounds — movies, food, music, sports, anything
- Save your favorites and reuse them across games
- Mix custom prompts with the built-in library, or go fully custom
- Let the psychic write prompts on the fly for maximum creativity
Whether you want "Worst Pizza Topping" to "Best Pizza Topping" or "Not a Real Word" to "Definitely a Real Word" — if you can think of a spectrum, you can play it.

Three Game Modes
One Psychic (Default)
One player is the Psychic and sees the hidden target. They give a clue, and everyone else guesses where it falls on the spectrum. The Psychic earns bonus points based on how well the group reads their clue.
One Guesser
Flip the script — everyone gives clues except one player who has to guess them all. Tests how well the group can communicate and how well the guesser can read the room.
Teams
Split into two teams. Each team has a Psychic who gives clues simultaneously. Team members guess together. The team with the best combined score wins the round. Great for larger groups.
Scoring
Exact match: 5 points
Off by 1: 3 points
Off by 2: 2 points
Off by 3: 1 point

Streak bonus: Score points 3 or more turns in a row and earn bonus points — rewarding consistency and good vibes.
