The fastest way to decide who goes first
Who starts the game? Who has to fetch the drinks? Put the phone on the table, and everyone touches the screen with one finger. Each finger gets its own colour. Keep still for about two seconds and the finger chooser picks one at random – the winner glows, the others fade.
It can also pick two people, split the group into two or three teams (A, B, C) or give everyone a turn order (1, 2, 3…). It works with as many fingers as your screen supports – most phones handle 5 to 10. The choice uses a cryptographically secure random number generator, so nobody can game it.
How to use
- Choose what to pick: one person, two people, teams or an order.
- Everyone places one finger on the dark area and keeps it there.
- Hold still for about two seconds – the result appears automatically.
- Lift all fingers and touch again for a new round. On a computer, click to place markers and press Choose now.
