WAV is a physical card game consisting of “song” cards and “prompt” cards, in addition to a website platform. Each song card features the name of the song, artist, and a scannable Spotify code that leads to a digital version of the song. The objective of the game is to place one song card down that the player deems appropriate to the prompt, and one chosen member of the group determines which song best represents the prompt each round, thus determining the winner of the round. The game requires players to use headphones to listen to the song cards they pull, or play them out loud, which facilitates the music discovery process. The game is paired with a website that features articles, playlists, and resources to enhance the music discovery process while at the same time educating those who are interested in various topics including artist case studies, background on the digital age of music, breakdowns of samples, and history of specific genres of music.
