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 target lies on a spectrum between two opposing concepts, like HOT-COLD. The psychic gives a clue, and the closer the team's guess is to the center of the bullseye, the more points they score.
