Overview

Make Fair Teams in Seconds

Picking teams by hand is slow and can leave people feeling left out. The Spinpik Random Team Generator shuffles your list and splits it into balanced groups instantly, so nobody can say the teams were rigged.

Choose how many teams you want – or how many people should be on each team – and the generator handles the rest. You can give teams fun names, pick a random captain for each group and copy the results to share in chat or email.
