How to use it

Add the players

Paste names one per line: viewers joining a custom game, friends for a quiz or players for a tournament.

Choose the split

Pick a number of teams, or how many people go in each team. Then pick team names: numbers, jelly toys, colours, animals, snacks or your own.

Make the teams

Press Make teams or hit Space. The names shuffle and land in their teams. Copy the teams as text, or put them on stream with the stream link.

Questions

How do I split a list into random teams?

Paste the names, one per line, set the number of teams and press Make teams. The list is shuffled with your browser's secure random numbers and dealt into the teams like cards.

Can I choose the team size instead of the number of teams?

Yes. Switch Split by to People per team and set the size. The generator works out how many teams that makes.

What happens if the names do not split evenly?

Team sizes never differ by more than one. With 10 players in 3 teams you get teams of 4, 3 and 3.

Can I name the teams?

Yes. Pick a set of names, like the jelly toys, colours, animals or snacks, or choose My own names and type one per line. Every team also gets its own colour.

How do I share the teams?

Press Copy teams to copy them as text, one team per line, ready to paste in chat or Discord. The stream link also shows the last teams you made.
