Random team generator

Type or paste everyone's names, pick how many teams, and tap Make teams. Tap it again for a fresh shuffle.

How it works

The names are shuffled, then dealt out one at a time like cards, so teams are never more than one person apart. Your list stays on your device for next time; nothing is sent anywhere.

Bowl Game is a team party game for up to 16: describe it, one word, then act it out. Everyone plays from their phone and the TV keeps score.
