  • 2 to 16 names
  • Provably fair

How it works

  1. Add your names

    Type 2 to 16 names, or paste a whole list at once.

  2. Choose a show

    Six games, from a UFO abduction to a knockout arena. Same fair odds in every one.

  3. Press play

    The winner is drawn and sealed first, then the show reveals them.

Made for shared screens

  • Quick mode keeps each pick to a few seconds, so it never slows the meeting down.
  • “Everyone gets a turn” walks through the whole team once, in a random order.
  • The list is remembered in your browser, so tomorrow’s standup is one click away.
  • Light theme for bright rooms and dark theme for evenings, following your system setting.

More ways teams use it

Pick who takes notes, who runs the next demo, who chooses the team lunch spot, or the winner of a small office raffle. Headspin is built for teams and friendly games, not for regulated prize draws.

Six ways to pick a name

Questions

Can I make sure nobody gets picked twice?

Turn on “Everyone gets a turn”. Each winner sits out the following draws until everyone has been picked once, then a new cycle starts. “Reset turns” brings everyone back early.

Can I share my list?

Yes. Press “Share list” under the names to get a link. Anyone who opens it gets the same names and game, ready to play. The names ride in the link itself, so they are never stored on a server.

Is it really random?

Yes. The winner is drawn with your browser’s cryptographic random number generator before the show starts, and every name has exactly the same chance. The animation only reveals a result that is already locked in.

How can I prove the pick wasn’t changed?

When a round starts, Headspin shows a SHA-256 seal of the result. After the reveal, the Verify button shows exactly what was sealed, so anyone can recompute the hash and check that the winner was fixed before the show began.

How many names can I add?

From 2 to 16 names per game, each up to 40 characters. Paste a whole list at once and Headspin splits it into names for you. Duplicate names are numbered automatically so everyone stays distinct.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Headspin is free and there is nothing to sign up for. Your names and settings are saved only in your own browser, so the list is still there next time you open the site on the same device.
