WordWave is incredibly fun as a quick 2-player match, but it truly shines when you gather a group of friends for a dedicated game night. Whether you're hanging out on Discord, Zoom, or sitting in the same living room, here is how to host the perfect WordWave session:
1. Set up Voice Chat If you aren't in the same room, a voice call is mandatory. The best part of WordWave is hearing your friends groan in frustration when you steal the answer right before they finish typing!
2. Share the Screen (Optional) Have the Host share their screen. While everyone needs the game open on their own device to type, having the Host broadcast the lobby makes it feel like a real gameshow.
3. Rotate the Categories Don't just stick to the 'General' dictionary. Try switching between standard definition categories and 'Image' categories. Visual clues often change the dynamic of the game entirely.
4. Establish House Rules Decide in advance if Voice Input (cheating, or innovation?) is allowed. Keep the rounds high (like 10 or 15) so that everyone has a chance to catch up if they have a bad start.
Happy hosting, and may the fastest typist win!
