Use this guide

Make the round work.

  1. 01

    Wavelength® prompt pairs

    Strong Wavelength® prompt pairs create two clear ends of a spectrum with room for debate. Try normal to cursed, iconic to forgotten, classy to chaotic, or underrated to overrated.

  2. 02

    Funny Wavelength® prompt ideas

    Funny prompts work when the clue sits awkwardly in the middle. Food, pop culture, party habits, and dating themes all create good arguments. These Wavelength ideas are strongest when neither end has one obviously correct answer.

  3. 03

    Adult Wavelength® prompts

    Use dating, red flags, spicy opinions, and late-night party themes when the group opts into stronger prompts.

  4. 04

    Example clues for spectrum pairs

    A good clue lands somewhere debatable between the two ends. For cheap to expensive, airport sandwich creates a fun argument because it feels overpriced but not luxury.

  5. 05

    Custom Wavelength® prompts

    Enter a theme like K-pop, sports, office habits, or the birthday guest's favorites to generate fresh spectrum pairs.

  6. 06

    Wavelength® prompt generator workflow

    Pick a category, generate a spectrum pair, give one clue on your wheel, and let the group debate where the clue belongs.
