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.

  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

Questions, answered.

What are good Wavelength® prompts?

Good Wavelength® prompts make both ends of the spectrum easy to understand but leave room for debate about where a clue belongs. Funny, pop culture, food, dating, and opinion pairs usually work well.

What is a Wavelength® spectrum pair?

A spectrum pair is the two-end prompt for a round, such as cheap to expensive, normal to cursed, or underrated to overrated. The clue-giver gives one clue that points somewhere between those ends.

Can I generate custom Wavelength® prompts?

Do I need the Wavelength® board game?

CardYard generates prompts. You still need the physical wheel or official app for the hidden target and dial.
