How to use the object generator

  1. Press Spin, tap the wheel, or press the space bar.
  2. The wheel slows down and shows the result in large type.
  3. Pick a group with the buttons, or use Pick several at once to get 3 or 5 objects together.

Ideas

  • Drawing: draw the object in 60 seconds, or turn it into a character.
  • Writing: put three random objects in one short story.
  • Games: charades, 20 questions, or a scavenger hunt: first to find the object wins.
  • Classroom: describe the object without saying its name.
  • Invention challenge: combine two objects into a new product.

Questions

Is every object equally likely?

Yes. The full wheel holds 98 objects in equal slices, which gives each one a 1 in 98 chance. Where it lands is picked by your browser's cryptographic random number generator.

Can I get several objects at once?

Yes. Open Pick several at once, choose how many, and press Pick. No object repeats.
