Everyday choices
Choose among meals, activities, destinations, tasks or any set of simple alternatives.

Pick one idea from a list when a team wants to move forward without another round of voting.

How the randomization works
Your options are parsed locally in the browser and one valid item is selected at random. The tool is intentionally minimal so you can paste a list and get a result with very little setup.
Practical tips
- •Use one option per line for readability.
- •Remove accidental blank lines before large drawings.
- •Use the wheel version when presentation and visual engagement matter.
