Make a decision without seeing the options. Trust your luck. Or fate.
1. Add your choices
Enter all the options you're considering.
2. Begin blind decision
Your options will be shuffled so you can't identify them.
3. Pick blindly
Press any button when ready - you won't know what it is until after you chose.
Some decisions are paralyzing not because the options are bad, but because they're all appealing. Which restaurant for date night? Which vacation destination? Which project to tackle first? When you're overthinking a choice between multiple good options, blind picking cuts through the analysis paralysis.
Our blind pick tool shuffles your options completely out of view, then lets you choose without knowing what you're selecting. It's like closing your eyes and pointing, but with a more elegant interface. Sometimes the best decision is the one that bypasses your thought process entirely.
Each session uses shuffling algorithms to ensure no option has an advantage based on position or timing. The anonymized buttons appear in completely random order, and your selection is based purely on chance.
Unlike other random selection methods, blind picking feels more personal - you made the choice, even if you didn't know what you were choosing. Your reaction to the result becomes valuable data about your true preferences.
The key difference is psychological engagement. By making you actively choose a hidden button, you feel more invested in the outcome than if a computer just selected for you. The anticipation and reveal process creates emotional buy-in.
That regret is actually valuable feedback about your true preferences! You can always start over with the same options, or use that emotional reaction to guide a more traditional decision-making process.
Blind picking works best when all your options are roughly equal in appeal and you're stuck in analysis paralysis. If there are clear pros and cons to weigh, or if the stakes are very high, consider some of our more deliberate decision-making tools.
Yes, we use the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm with random number generation to ensure completely fair randomization. No option has any positional advantage. And you can't see the options, which adds another layer of randomness.
