For events
Random tools for events and live rooms
Prepare a draw, choose a participant, set a running order, or divide a room without handing the source list to an online event platform. Random 42 supports the mechanics; the organizer remains responsible for eligibility, consent, and the rules of the event.

What you can solve here
Choose a name or winner
Use a picker for an informal selection and a raffle workflow when prizes, multiple winners, or no-repeat results need to be explicit.
Set the order of a live program
Shuffle speakers, demos, performers, or agenda items into a sequence that can be copied into a run sheet.
Break a room into smaller units
Create teams or pairs for an icebreaker, workshop, community session, or collaborative event activity.
Choose well
Write the event rule before pressing the button
A participant picker, a raffle, and a presentation order may all begin with names, but they answer different questions. Decide whether entries can repeat, whether someone must be present, how many winners exist, and what happens if a result cannot be accepted.
The current service can produce a session result, not a third-party verified draw. It does not supply signed timestamps, public audit records, ticket sales, social-platform imports, or a legal determination that a promotion is compliant.
Before you run
Three working principles
Freeze eligibility first
Clean the entry list and document who is included before the draw. Randomness cannot repair an inconsistent eligibility rule.
Explain redraws in advance
Decide how absence, duplicate entries, declined prizes, or an invalid result will be handled before an audience sees the outcome.
Do not call a session draw verified
A browser result without a trusted service, signature, and public record is useful for an event but not independently tamper-proof.
