Random number generator
Choose two bounds, then draw a random number.
Draw a random whole number between two bounds you choose. To decide who starts, split people into teams, or settle who's paying the tab without it turning into a thirty-minute debate.
- What you need
- Nothing, it all happens on screen
How to use the random number generator
- Enter the lower and upper bound — 1 and 100 by default.
- Bounds accept negative numbers, up to a billion either way.
- Tap “Generate a number”.
- Each draw is independent of the last: the same number can come up twice in a row.
Frequently asked questions
- Are both bounds included?
- Yes. A draw between 1 and 10 can return 1 as well as 10.
- Can I draw negative numbers?
- Yes, just enter a negative lower bound. Accepted values go up to a billion either way — way more than the number of rounds this group is going to make the loser buy.
- Can the same number come up twice in a row?
- Yes, every draw starts fresh with no memory of the previous ones. For draws without repeats, use the card drawer instead.
