Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Random Group Generator? expand_more
A Random Group Generator is a tool that randomly divides a list of people or items into groups. It uses a fair shuffling algorithm to ensure unbiased distribution, making it ideal for creating teams, project groups, or any random division of participants.
What is the difference between By Groups and By Members? expand_more
By Groups lets you specify how many groups to create (e.g., divide 12 people into 3 groups of 4). By Members lets you specify how many people per group (e.g., create groups of 4 from 12 people). Both modes distribute members as evenly as possible.
Are the groups fairly balanced? expand_more
