About Random Game
Random Game picks from a curated list of celebrated games: landmark video games across every era and genre, modern and classic board games, and card games you can play with an ordinary deck or a boxed set.
Each pick shows the year, who made it, the genre, and for tabletop games the player count. Filter by type when you know whether you're reaching for a controller or a deck of cards.
Ideas
- Game night: filter to board games and let the button settle the argument.
- Backlog paralysis? Let it choose which unfinished video game to go back to.
How it works
The list holds 475 games. 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 game 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.
