About this tool
The names are shuffled thoroughly, then dealt round-robin into your chosen number of teams — so team sizes differ by at most one person, and who's together is pure chance. Press Make Teams again for a fresh split.
Random teams settle the oldest argument in group activities: nobody chose, so nobody can complain. They also mix people who'd never pick each other, which is half the point of workshops and icebreakers. Skill-balancing (seeding strong players apart) is deliberately not faked here — if you need seeded teams, split your list into skill groups and run the tool once per group.
How to use it
- Paste the names, one per line.
- Set the number of teams.
- Press Make Teams — repeat for a re-shuffle.
Frequently asked questions
Are team sizes equal?
Within one person — 10 names into 3 teams gives 4, 3, 3.
Can I keep certain people apart?
Not automatically. Re-roll, or move a name manually after the split — the result is yours to adjust.
Are the names uploaded?
No — the split happens in your browser.
