What is the Random Team & Group Generator?
"Just pick teams" is a common source of arguments and hurt feelings, whether it's a school sport, an office trivia night or a game with friends — someone always suspects the captain stacked the deck. This tool removes that entirely: paste in a list of names, one per line, choose either the number of teams you want or the size of each team, and it shuffles everyone using a genuinely random draw and lays out the resulting groups instantly.
Every shuffle uses a fresh random order, so re-rolling gives a different split each time, which is useful for running several rounds of mixed groups in one session (like rotating small-group discussions or gym stations) without ever repeating the same combination twice in a row.

Questions people ask
Is the shuffle actually random, or predictable?
It uses a proper random shuffle algorithm (Fisher-Yates) seeded by your browser's random number generator, so every re-roll produces a genuinely independent, unpredictable split.
What happens if the names don't divide evenly into teams?
The remainder is distributed as evenly as possible, so teams differ in size by at most one person.
Can I split by team size instead of team count?
Yes, switch the mode to team size and it works out how many teams that creates instead.
Is my list of names stored anywhere?
No, it's processed entirely in your browser for that session and not saved or uploaded.
Can I use this for more than two teams?
Yes, there's no limit on the number of teams; set any number appropriate for your group size.
