Random Activity Picker

Bored and not sure what to do? Our random activity picker gives you a plan. Type in the things you could do, spin the barrel, and go do whatever it lands on. It’s free, it takes a few seconds, and it works on your phone.

How to use the activity picker

1. Type up to six activities into the boxes. You can use the ones already there as a starting point.
2. Press “Spin the barrel.”
3. Wait for the barrel to stop. The activity on the front is your plan.

Your list is saved on your own device, so your ideas will be there the next time you’re stuck.

Why let a barrel choose?

When there’s nothing planned, it’s easy to spend the whole day deciding and then do nothing. A random pick gets you moving. It also nudges you toward things you might not have chosen yourself.

Tips for getting the most out of it

• Only add ideas you’d enjoy. Then any result is a good one.
• Mix sizes. Put in a quick 30-minute idea and a bigger outing.
• Think about the weather. Keep one list for sunny days and another for rainy ones.
• Add things you keep putting off. The barrel can give you the push.
