✨ How to Create Good Prompts

Creating effective Wavelength prompts is an art! The best prompts spark interesting discussions and reveal how people think differently. Follow these guidelines to craft prompts that will make your game nights legendary.

✅ Use Clear Opposites
Your two endpoints should be obvious opposites. "Hot" vs "Cold" works perfectly. "Warm" vs "Cool" is too similar and confusing.
✅ Make It Subjective
The best prompts have no objectively correct answer. "Terrible Movie" to "Great Movie" is subjective. "Short Movie" to "Long Movie" is just facts.
✅ Avoid Binary Choices
Prompts should allow for gradients, not yes/no answers. "Not a Sandwich" to "Definitely a Sandwich" doesn't work well because things either are or aren't sandwiches.
✅ Consider Your Audience
Tailor prompts to your group's knowledge and interests. Inside jokes and shared references make the best custom prompts!
✅ Test the Spectrum
Can you think of examples at 25%, 50%, and 75% along the spectrum? If yes, it's a good prompt. If not, refine it.
✅ Keep It Fun
Wavelength is a party game! Prompts should be entertaining, not controversial or offensive. Aim for laughs and interesting discussions.
