Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Works well. Doesnt glitch. Fun to play with our friends. Yeyyyyyyy.
We love the physical version of the game, the app will not allow you to play with multiple teams but instead you have to play as a whole. Which is pretty bad when you do it with 6+ players. Please add the option to dived teams.
We love this game but it would be more fun if we could customize it.
Make it more interesting for the players.
This has been our go to game to play for a year or so now! We played the free version for a bit before we finally caved, it was totally worth it! The game has zero adds even when playing it for free, and the questions are interesting, hilarious, intuitive! Over all a way to open the conversation.
Great recommend we think its so fun we like the questions.
Its really good it keeps us entertained for hours. We were on a 14 Hour road trip and we played this whole time.
Wavelength is a wonderful game and way to connect with others (or the opposite we guess ).
We LOVE this game. But!! We wish there was a game option where all the people playing could give their individual guess instead of a group decision. That way, we can keep score and see who wins! We would love this game option.
Okay, great game. Fun style, cool avatar options, and overall amazing thing to play with friends! Its creative and makes us laugh. But the starter pack is too basic and the questions in it arent that great. Yes, you can purchase new question packs for around 1 or 2 dollars, but Im not spending money on a game. Sorry developers we know you make money off of this game, but it could be better. We know Im sending mixed messages here. Our main point is: fun game, but it gets boring after about 5 rounds. We recommend you try it out, though.
So so so much fun! We just wish there was an option to play by yourself some how.
Its really fun, creative, social, and everyone Ive met likes the game.
Played this with our wife at a Michelin * restaurant all night. Sooooooo good.
Played with our kids. They made fun of mom. It was great.
First time ever leaving a review on the app store but our friends and we really love this game. Its pretty easy to understand and we also like how the game host can share their packs with everyone else. We bought about 3 packs so far, Im probably going to buy the whole thing soon enough lol. But one suggestion or fun idea could be a pack or an option to add in your own wavelength? We do that on the physical board game but think it would definitely be a good addition on the app and wouldnt mind paying for it.
Took a couple of rounds for our parents to catch on, but by the red round we were laughing and getting rowdy.
Good game for friends and be played with two people or multiple very nice and unique no small pieces needed and gets even better with a few drinks.
Dont need to watch video just vibe.
This game is so fun we play it with our wife.
Its a really fun a good game in person or not but you do get a starter pack that you dont have to pay for which we LOVE!! But if you play it a lot it gets repetitive and you would probably want to get a few more packs the price is really good and we basically got all of them for about 8 dollars !!! If you are willing to spend a few bucks then please do get it.
If you guys could make a mode where you see how far you could get and if you get no points 3 times you lose that would be amazing.
We love this game! We play it with our family and friends! It is so much fun to play and we love it! Look below for a surprise! W – way to much fun A – amazing V – violins are cools E – eggplants r purple L – love yall E – egga are good for you N – not boring G – games are cool T – this game is so cool H – hiiii and byeee love yall.
It is so fun we love playing it when we are bored with our friends and family.
Great for a traveling family when we dont have the board game.
LOVE IT!! And we hace the fiscal one.
Allow us to change where the scale is.
Fun and entertaining with a slightly chaotic twist. We would recommend for small groups while waiting for things like food or in a line.
We actually love this app and dont know why other board games dont do something similar; app always works well and is a blast to use. Also, there is an option to purchase additional expansion packs, but theyre not pricey and the app doesnt push you into buying them. Love this app.
Awesome game to play waiting for food at a restaurant or at a little get together. Packs are dirt cheap and provide a tonne more playability.
Perfect game to play with family and friends! Would recommend.
Super fun, really thought provoking. Great game to play with friends or even your partner. Dont cheat though! =P.
We love playing this game with our little brother and he loves playing it too. We like how multiple people can collaborate on guessing the spectrum. The large amount of people that can play is such a cool aspect as well. One of our favorite parts is at the end of the game and we get to see our total score.
Dont even need sign in!!! Can play with your friends no problem. Love it.
We love the game, but the inability to make custom prompts makes it a bit less fun for our friend group who have a lot of inside jokes. Would be willing to pay for this feature, like other comments said. Please.
It's fun but our only complaint is that theres only like prompts you can answer.
This game would be so much more fun if you could host public games instead of only having to play with other people in person.
We enjoyed the game with our family, but we wouldve hoped that the game would allowed us to type in Arabic as well. Whenever you type in another language it just shows up blank.
We will rate five stars when they actually give the points meaning. We played 3 games with our girlfriend and we had the same final score as each other every time. What is the point of having points at all? We want to have a winner and a loser.
The game is really fun but you should make a game mode where everyone controlles there own and it is a competition.
With larger parties, each person should be able to individually vote and the game should average everybodys choice.
Very fun game but takes forever to load and there is no competitive mode.
Fun games but sometimes we cannot type anything or our screen is just black.
It was pretty challenging, but it was a little bit hard, but it was fun.
This game was really easy and fun to play but we would like to have the option of being able to play with random people basically please make an online version.
It was very fun but it is the most glitchy game we have played in our life time we spent $5 on a glitchy game we couldnt play for more than 2 minutes we DEMAND A REFUND.
We live this gam a lot. We play it with our siblings and its addictive. We completely recommend it.
We love playing this game with our friends! Were always laughing our butts off lol.
So much fun! Us and our nephews have a blast playing.
