How to play Lambda

  1. 1

    Get a spectrum

    Each round, one player is the clue giver. They see a spectrum like “Smells good ↔ Smells bad” and a secret target on it.

  2. 2

    Give a clue

    The clue giver writes something that sits right at the target — like “fresh bread” for a target near Smells good.

  3. 3

    Guess

    Everyone else slides the dial to where they think the target is, then locks it in.

  4. 4

    Score

    A bullseye scores 4, close guesses 3, 2, or 1. The clue giver scores as much as the best guess, so make it a good clue!

Tips

  • There's no wrong clue — just more or less helpful ones.
  • In team mode, each team scores once, on the average of its members' guesses. The clue giver scores as much as the best team.
