Free online duck race

Let the river pick the winner

Random Duck Race is a free online duck race game and random name picker. Every name you enter becomes a duck, every duck is dropped into the same 3D river, and the current, the rapids and the slipstream decide who crosses the finish line first.

No sign-up, no download — up to 1,000 ducks, 100+ duck skins and 16 languages, on any phone, tablet, computer or classroom projector.

Classroom random picker

Pick a student to answer, form random groups or decide who presents first — fairly, and with the whole class cheering.

Giveaways & contests

Pick a lucky winner from your followers, members or community, live on stream or on the big screen.

Work & meetings

Who speaks first at stand-up, who does the coffee run, who hosts next week — let the ducks decide.

Parties & game nights

Decide who goes first or takes the next challenge, with a photo finish and fireworks for the winner.

Everyone on their phone

Open a room: players scan the QR code, pick a duck, chat and cheer — and follow the race live on their own screen.

Can’t decide?

Race your dinner options, your to-do list or your next holiday — the river always has an answer.

How to run a duck race

  1. Add the names: type or paste them, import a CSV or Excel file, or quick-fill numbered ducks.
  2. Pick the ducks and the course: 300 to 900 metres, by day, at dusk or at night.
  3. Start the race and watch the lead change hands until one duck crosses the line.

Then download or share the result, or race again.

The full guide

Is the duck race truly random and fair?

Yes — every duck has exactly the same chance. The lanes are drawn at random for every race, the river treats every duck the same way, and nothing ever steers a duck towards the finish.

Seeing the same name win twice in a row is randomness too, like a coin landing heads twice.

Run the fairness test

Is my data private?

Yes. You never need an account to play. Your lists and settings stay in your own browser, and a room keeps only what it needs to run — then deletes everything when it ends.
