Random Activity
Bored? Get something to do, picked at random.
Walk a dog for a neighbour
Offer to help someone busy or less mobile, and ask about the dog's habits, lead and treats beforehand.
About Random Activity
Random Activity suggests one thing to do right now from a curated list of ideas: quick indoor projects, outdoor adventures, things to do alone or with friends and family, and ways to learn something new. Most cost nothing.
Filter by setting or by who you're with. Use common sense about safety, weather and local rules for anything outdoors.
Ideas
- Rainy day with kids? Filter to Indoors + With others.
- Rule for boredom: do the first pick for at least ten minutes.
How it works
The list holds 270 activities. Every pick uses a cryptographically secure random number generator — your browser's, which the operating system keeps seeded with physical noise from your device's hardware — so there are no patterns and no favourites.
It works like a shuffled deck: you won't see the same activity twice until you've seen them all in this visit. To keep pages tiny, the list is split into small, randomly mixed batches that load only as you need them.
Without JavaScript the button still works: our edge servers make the pick instead, using Cloudflare's secure random number generator, whose entropy famously includes LavaRand — a wall of lava lamps.
