How to use RisingArena

How the RisingArena name pickers, team maker and typing test work, how fair they are, and tips for streams and classrooms.

Seven tools in one place

RisingArena turns a plain list of names into a show. You can race them as marbles or horses, let them fight in a battle royale, spin a wheel, follow a ladder (Amidakuji), split everyone into random teams, or test typing speed against players around the world.

Getting started

Open a game, type or paste names, one per line, and press start. Most pickers accept up to 100 names. You can choose whether the first or the last to finish wins, and the wheel can remove each winner so you can draw several prizes in a row.

Is it fair?

Every result is decided by random numbers generated in your browser at the moment you press start. Nobody, including us, can see or change the outcome in advance. The team maker shuffles the list and deals names out one by one, so team sizes never differ by more than one person.

Tips for streams and classes

Use the full-screen button so viewers can follow the race. Paste chat names straight into the box for giveaways. In classrooms, the ladder and team maker work well for choosing presenters, seats and groups without arguments.

Typing test and world ranking

The typing test lasts 60 seconds and measures how many characters you type correctly per minute (CPM) in your language. If you want to appear in the ranking you only enter a nickname. Only the nickname, score and language are stored; there is no sign-up.

Privacy

Names you type into the pickers stay on your device and are never uploaded. Closing the page clears them unless your browser keeps the text box filled.
