Which tool should I use?

  • Choosing between a few options? Flip a coin for two, or put them on the spinning wheel for more.
  • Picking a winner from a list? The random name picker draws one or many names. Want a show? The wheel reveals it live.
  • Splitting a group? The team generator makes fair, random teams for classes, sports and game nights.
  • Playing a game? Roll any die with the dice roller, or use the number generator for ranges, raffles and lottery-style draws.

Fair by design

Every tool uses your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, not a predictable shortcut. Each option has exactly the same chance, nothing is remembered between draws, and the result is decided before any animation plays, so the show never changes the outcome.

That matters when a prize, a turn or a team is on the line: nobody can say the pick was rigged, because there is nothing to rig.

Made for classrooms, streams, teams and families

Teachers use PickWhim to call on students without playing favorites. Streamers and creators pick giveaway winners live on screen. Teams decide who presents next, families settle what to have for dinner, and friends split up for game night.

Because the tools are quick and need no account, they work just as well on a classroom projector as on a phone at the kitchen table.
