How to Use This Decision Maker

This tool picks one option at random from a list you provide. Each option has an equal chance of being selected, so the result is completely unbiased.

  1. Type your question -- something like "Where should we eat?" or "Which movie should I watch?"
  2. List your options -- put each choice on its own line. Add as many as you need.
  3. Click "Make Decision" -- the tool randomly selects one option and displays it instantly.

You can also click any of the example questions on the right to pre-fill the form and try it out immediately.

Decision wheels (also called spinner wheels or prize wheels) are a popular visual way to make random choices. You enter options around a circle and spin to see where the pointer lands.

This text-based decision maker gives you the same random result without the animation. The advantages:
