About the game

What is WaveLength?

Write down and rank five items that fit a given category. Score a point for any item your partner also wrote down. Add an additional point if the partner gave the item the same rank as you. Many categories are from pop culture, eg, John Wayne Movies, but other categories provide plenty of variety, eg, Sundae Toppings. Appears to be a combination of partnership What Were You Thinking and Compatibility. Write down 5 things in a category (like What Were You Thinking, Name 5, Likewise, etc) and score for common entries with your partner (Compatibility, Telepaths, etc). Earlier editorial comment indicated this would be like Facts in Five, but that does not seem to be the case at all.
