About The Random Pick

The Random Pick is a set of 64 free random tools for groups, classrooms, streams and anyone stuck on a small decision. Each tool does one job in one tap.

Who runs it

The Random Pick is an independent site owned and run by Stellar Capital LLC. Pages are edited under the pen name Morgan Hale. There is no company, league or brand behind the picks.

How the facts are compiled

The 250 country, 50 state, 265 team and 197 animal pages are built from open data: Wikidata, Wikipedia, the CIA World Factbook and REST Countries. We rewrite the facts in plain words and list the sources, with the date we checked them, at the bottom of every page. Head coaches and rosters change; anything like that is dated.

Team colors are shown as plain swatches with their hex codes. We don't use logos, player photos or other trademarked artwork, and we are not affiliated with any league or team.

How the decks are written

Every would you rather question, truth, dare, conversation question, drawing prompt and character on this site was written for it. Nothing is copied from other sites or books. Decks are clean enough to read aloud in a classroom, including the ones labeled for adults.

How the randomness works

Every pick starts from your browser's cryptographic random number generator. The fairness page explains the method and shows a 10,000-spin test that reruns on every build.

Money

The site is free. It may show a small number of ads and contextual affiliate links in the future; neither ever changes a result. See the affiliate disclosure.
