Spectrum
A free Wavelength-style browser game where one player gives a clue for a hidden target and the team places it on a spectrum. Supports 2 to 12 players.
About This Game
Spectrum is Table Party's free, unofficial Wavelength-style guessing game. One player, called the Psychic, sees a hidden target somewhere between two opposing ideas. They give a short clue, and their teammates discuss where that clue belongs before locking the shared dial.
The scoring target has five bands worth two, three, four, three, and two points. In team games, the opponents can steal a point by predicting which side of the target the dial will land on. The Psychic cannot move the dial, so the clue has to carry all the useful information.
With two or three players, Spectrum switches to a six-round cooperative mode with one shared score. Groups of four or more play in teams. The game works with up to twelve people, uses phones as controllers, and runs in the browser with no account, purchase, download, or advertising.
How to Play
See the private target
The Psychic looks at the hidden scoring zone on the spectrum.
Give one short clue
Name something that belongs near that point. Numbers and pointing are not allowed.
Discuss and place the dial
The guessing team talks through the clue and locks the shared dial without help from the Psychic.
Reveal and score
The target appears and awards up to four points. In team mode, the opponents may steal one point by calling the correct side.
Tips & Strategy
- Name a concrete thing instead of describing the target with another degree word.
- Aim for a clue your specific teammates will place consistently.
- Agree before anyone locks because the first confirmed dial position applies to the whole team.
- When stealing, predict which way the clue pulled the guessers rather than the exact target.
