Which tool should I use?
Pick by the job, not by a similar-looking name. Google and other sites often show a one-click coin in search results; these pages exist for the cases that widget cannot do — named options, a whole roster, printouts, and shareable results.
- Two options — flip a coin online. Rename the sides or run best-of-three.
- One winner from a list — random picker from list. Optional remove-after-pick for raffles.
- Everyone into groups — random team generator. Split by number of teams or group size; optional keep-apart pairs.
- Polyhedral dice — dice roller online, including a 4d6 drop lowest preset.
- Gift exchange — Secret Santa generator with one unlisted link per person.
How the random tools work
Flips, picks, rolls, and shuffles use crypto.getRandomValues in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server to produce the result. Class lists and coin labels are saved in localStorage so a refresh does not wipe the form. We do not require an account.
Share links encode the result in the URL itself (capped so they stay usable in chat apps). They are convenient, not encrypted. Embed snippets on the team generator and picker let teachers put the widget on a class page.
FAQ
Do I need an account to use these random tools?
No. Every TheOwlBay tool runs in your browser. There is no sign-up.
What is the difference between the random picker and the team generator?
The random picker draws one winner from a list. The random team generator splits the whole list into groups. For two named choices, use the coin flip.
Are the results random?
Picks, flips, rolls, and shuffles use the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator. That is honest for a classroom or game night. It is not a hardware entropy source.
