About This Tool

What is the Random Group Generator?

Our random group generator takes a list of people and splits them into the number of groups you choose. The algorithm shuffles everyone randomly and distributes them evenly using round-robin assignment.

If the number of people does not divide evenly, some groups will have one extra member — the distribution stays as balanced as possible.
