Three steps and a projector
Add your people
Paste one name per line, or upload a .txt list. Copying a column straight out of a spreadsheet works too. Duplicates are fine — two people really can be called Sam.
Pick your split
Choose the number of teams or how many people should be in each. We show the exact team sizes before you commit.
Put it on the screen
Presentation mode fills a projector, TV or smartboard, pages through the teams and gives everyone time to spot their own name.
Most team generators stop at the maths
Shuffling names is the easy half. Announcing them to a room — a pub quiz, a classroom, a conference, a team-building day — is the half that actually goes wrong.
Readable from the back of the room
The screen sizes itself to your display and refuses to go below a legible size. If the teams do not fit, they are split across pages that rotate on their own — the text never shrinks into nothing.
It never scrolls
Nobody wants to watch a host scroll a spreadsheet on a projector. Every page is a complete screen, and a team too big for one page flows into columns and continues on the next.
Late arrivals do not reshuffle everyone
Add someone, move someone, take someone off the list — and nobody else budges. Once you have read the teams out, they stay exactly as announced.
Your list stays yours
There is no server involved. Names are never uploaded, never stored by us and never sent to analytics. Clear all data wipes the local copy whenever you like.
Teams sorted. Now the quiz.
You already have a room full of people in teams. QuizLinq turns that into a live quiz they play on their own phones — no app, no downloads.
Common questions
Is the random team generator really free?
Yes. No account, no sign-up, no payment, no limits on how often you use it. It runs entirely in your browser.
Do my participant names get uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser — the names are never sent to us, never stored on a server, and never included in analytics. Your list is saved locally so an accidental refresh cannot lose it, and the Clear all data button wipes that at any time.
How many people can I split into teams?
Up to 250 participants, which is the same limit as a QuizLinq live game.
What kinds of events is this for?
Anywhere a room has to be split up on the spot: pub quizzes and quiz nights, classrooms, workshops and training days, conferences, team building and office away days, parties, and sports or club sessions. The tool has no idea what the teams are for — 30 pupils into 6 groups works exactly like 30 quizzers into 6 teams.
Is a random group generator the same thing as a team generator?
Yes — the same job under two names. Teams, groups, tables, breakout rooms, houses, pairs: it takes a list of people and splits them into an even number of them at random. Use whichever word your event uses.
Can I use it in a classroom?
It works well for one. Class sizes divide neatly, the full-screen view suits a smartboard, and pupil names never leave the browser on the teacher’s laptop — nothing is uploaded, so there is no student data sitting on somebody else’s server. Groups change every lesson, so the split suggestions save the arithmetic.
Can I show the teams on a projector or TV?
That is what it is built for — a pub quiz projector, a classroom smartboard, a conference screen or a TV in the corner of an office. Presentation mode fills the display with type sized to be read from the back of a room, never scrolls, and pages through the teams automatically so everyone gets time to find their name.
Someone arrived late. Do I have to generate the teams again?
No — and this is the part most generators get wrong. Add them, drop them into a team, and nobody else moves. Same if someone drops out: remove them and every other team stays exactly as announced.
What happens if the teams do not fit on one screen?
They are split across pages that rotate automatically. The text never shrinks below a readable size — if it will not fit, it paginates instead. A very large team flows into several columns and, if it is still too big, continues onto the next page.
Can I upload a list of names?
Yes — a plain .txt file with one name per line. If your list is in a spreadsheet, select the names, copy, and paste straight into the box: one column lands as one name per line, and if you copy a First name and Last name column together they are joined for you. We deliberately do not import spreadsheets directly, because the names are rarely in the first column and guessing wrong would put the wrong list on the screen.
