How it splits

Choose teams to set how many teams you want, or people per team to set the size and let the number of teams follow. Either way, team sizes never differ by more than one: 10 people in teams of 4 makes teams of 4, 3 and 3, not 4, 4 and 2.

Press Make teams again for a completely new draw. Copy results copies the teams as text, one name per line, ready to paste into an email or chat.

Good for

  • Classroom groups and project partners
  • Pickup games, quiz nights and tournaments
  • Breakout rooms and workshop tables
  • Secret-santa style draws and rotas

Is it fair?

Yes. The names are shuffled with your browser’s secure random number generator, so every arrangement is equally likely. Everything happens in your browser, and your list is never uploaded.

Questions

Can I keep certain people apart or together?

Not yet. Every draw is completely random. If a draw doesn’t work for you, press Make teams again.

What if I only need one random person?

Use the Random name picker.
