Wavelength

One player sees a hidden target on a dial and gives a single clue to it. The rest of the table has to guess where the needle should land.

One clue, and where the needle lands

Wavelength hands one player a spectrum (say, "overrated to underrated") and a hidden target somewhere along it that only they can see. Their job is a single clue that gets their team's guess as close to that spot as possible, which sounds simple until the spectrum is "fine to reheat in the office microwave to deeply illegal." Every clue turns into a small argument about what the word actually means before anyone even points at the dial.

It plays fine with the box in person or the free web version over a call, and it's the rare party game where the arguing after the round is better than the round itself.
