Decision Tools
4 free tools · No signup · No limits
Most arguments about a random pick are not really about randomness — they are about process. A wheel, a coin or a shuffled list settles things because everyone can see the method before it runs, which is why these are the tools people reach for when nobody wants to be the one who chose. Use the spin wheel when the options need to be visible and everyone should watch the same thing happen, the coin flip when there are exactly two, the decision maker when you just want a name pulled from a list, and the team generator when a group has to be split without anyone claiming the sides were stacked. One rule makes all four work: agree the list, and the number of rounds, before the first spin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which one should I use — wheel, coin or decision maker?
Two options and no audience: the coin flip. Several options and people watching: the spin wheel, because everyone sees the slices before it turns. A long list you just want one name out of: the random decision maker.
Are the results genuinely random?
Yes. Each result is drawn before the animation starts, using your browser's random number generator — the spin or flip you watch is the result being shown to you, not decided. No slice or side is favoured.
Can I make one option more likely?
There is no weighting control, and you do not need one: enter the same item more than once. Two entries out of ten is twice the chance of one. It is crude and completely transparent, which is the point — everyone can count the slices.
How does the team generator handle an odd number of people?
It spreads the remainder, so with seven names and two teams you get a four and a three rather than one team left short by several.
Is anything I type stored?
No. The names and options you enter live in the page and are gone when you reload. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is kept.
