Spectrum

Read your team’s mind on a hidden dial.

212 players · About 15 min

Spectrum is a free Wavelength-style guessing game for phones. One Psychic sees a hidden target on a dial between two opposites and gives a clue; everyone else drags their own dial to where the clue belongs. Closer guesses score more, and the Psychic scores the room’s average.

How to play Spectrum

One Psychic per round

A spectrum card is drawn — two opposites like Freezing Boiling. The host can even write their own spectrums before the match. Only the Psychic sees the secret target on the dial.

Give a clue

The Psychic types a short clue that sits exactly at the target. “Lukewarm coffee” might live at 60 on Freezing Boiling.

Everyone dials in

All other players drag their own dial to where they think the clue belongs, then lock it in.

Closer = more points

Within 5 → 4 pts, 10 → 3, 20 → 2, 30 → 1. The Psychic scores the average of all guesses, so clear clues pay off.

Everyone psychics

The Psychic role rotates until everyone has gone (twice around with 4 or fewer players). Highest total wins!
