What does the chaos button do?

Press it and the group gets a random twist, mini-challenge or rule change — an instant jolt of fun for game night or a party. Pick a difficulty or add your own twists.

What does 'chaos' mean?

Chaos means complete disorder and unpredictability — which is exactly the point here: one press throws a random surprise into your game.

Is there a symbol for chaos?

The best-known is the 'chaos star' — eight arrows pointing outward from a centre, symbolising possibility in every direction. Fittingly random for a chaos button.

Can I add my own twists?

Yes — the list is fully editable, so you can write twists for your own group or occasion, and they're saved in your browser for next time.

Are the twists group-friendly?

Yes. Start on Tame for a gentle set, or go Wild or Bold for spicier ones — all designed to be funny rather than awkward.

Is the result truly random?

Yes. Every outcome uses your browser's cryptographically secure randomness, so it is unbiased and unpredictable — just for fun.
