What is it
Heads or Tails is a free online tool that helps you make random decisions, without needing a real coin in your hand. In addition to flipping the coin with an animation, it also rolls dice (the classic six-sided d6 and twenty-sided d20) and spins a wheel with custom options that you write yourself. It's the perfect solution for those times when no one in the group can reach an agreement.
The idea is simple: when there are two or more possibilities and they all seem good (or bad), letting luck decide takes the weight of the choice off your shoulders. It can be used for games, board games, classroom dynamics, deciding who starts a game, who does the dishes or even to draw lots between restaurants at lunch time. Everything works directly in the browser, on your cell phone or computer, without installing anything and without registering.
How to use
Using the tool is quick and intuitive. Follow the step by step:
- Choose the mode: select between flipping the coin (heads or tails), rolling a die (d6 or d20) or using the decision wheel.
- For coin: tap the button to flip. The coin spins with animation and stops showing the result, heads or tails.
- For dice: choose d6 or d20 and roll. The drawn number appears on the screen.
- For roulette: enter your options (for example, names of people or places), spin and see which one the arrow stops on.
- Repeat as many times as you want: each round is independent, so you can play again whenever you need.
Tips
- Use customized roulette when you have more than two alternatives, as the coin only resolves between two.
- The d20 is great for role-playing games, while the d6 replaces the board die you lost.
- The result is random and serves for fun and tiebreakers: each throw has the same chance of any result.
- As everything happens in your browser, it works well even with slow internet and without wasting space on the device.
Whether to play, teach probability in a fun way or just stop arguing about the next pizza, Heads or Tails leaves the decision in the hands of luck in a few seconds.
