Frequently asked questions
- How does it decide who goes first?
- Add the players and tap — it picks one starting player at random, with everyone equally likely, so it's fairer than 'youngest first' or whoever shouts loudest.
- Is the result truly random?
- Yes. Every outcome uses your browser's cryptographically secure randomness, so it is unbiased and unpredictable — just for fun.
- Can it give a full turn order?
- To get a complete running order for everyone, use the random order generator instead.
- What's a fair way to pick who goes first?
- A random pick like this is the fairest — no one can argue with chance. For just two players, a coin flip or rock paper scissors works just as well.
- Is it free and private?
- Completely free, no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded.
