Wavelength tabletop edition, Monikers card game, The FuzziesAbout
Wavelength is a party game in your pocket. Hot or cold. Soft or hard. Wizard or…not a wizard? Work together to decide where your clue falls on the spectrum – and win by reading your friends’ minds.
The Wavelength app is an evolution of the hit boardgame that allows you to play remotely or in person on iOS and Android devices. And it features loads of new content and designs, like real-time synchronous dial movements and live emotes.
History
In 2019, CMYK published the board game edition of Wavelength. It has sold over 150,000 copies, is sold in over 14+ languages worldwide, and was named the Best Party Game of 2019 by The Dice Tower, the tabletop industry’s largest media network.
In early 2020, as social distancing set in, Wavelength fans started homebrewing novel ways to play remotely with friends and family. This inspired Alex, Casey, and Kristen to create a mobile-first adaptation that would provide a fun and effortless way to play Wavelength, whether they’re apart or together.
Over 14,000 beta testers and a year and a half later (videogames are hard), the Wavelength app is now officially available!

How to play
- The goal: Work together to turn the dial as close to the center of a colored target as you can.
- The twist: The target is completely hidden and is in a random location each round.
- Fortunately, one of your teammates is Psychic and knows exactly where the target is
- But they can only give a clue on a spectrum between two opposing concepts. For example, if the spectrum is hot to cold, and the target is on the hot side, you might give the clue, “coffee”. Which is hot but not the hottest thing imaginable.
- Every round you’ll get a clue like this written by one of your friends, and it's up to everyone else to discuss while the clue giver stays silent!
- Once you’re done discussing everyone taps ready and the target is revealed
- The closer to the center you are, the more points you score!
- The game is completely cooperative, so you win or lose as a team.
