Frequently asked questions

What does Random Activity Generator do?

Find something to do: 66 activities filtered by category, time available, number of people and budget, each with its real duration and what you need.

What does it take into account?

It factors in 66 activities filtered by category, time available, number of people and budget, each with its real duration and what you need. Change any of them and the output follows immediately.

When would I actually use this?

Producing something plausible on demand: a name for a pet or a domain, a sentence to test a layout with, a cocktail for what is already in the cupboard, a character sheet to start a campaign — and the throwaway identities a form needs before it can be tested at all.

What is the most common mistake?

Letting a generated identity out of the test environment. A fake address, a valid-looking card number and a plausible name are built to pass a form's checks, which is exactly what makes them dangerous once a real record is created from them — and a generated domain or pet name still has to be checked for a trademark nobody here can see.

How is Random Activity Generator different from Random Animal Generator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Random Animal Generator is the one to open when you need it to draw 1, 3, 5 or 10 animals from a 160-species corpus, filtered by class, each with its habitat, diet, typical lifespan, IUCN status and one true fact. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Random Chess Opening Generator is the closest one after this: Draw random chess openings filtered by colour, style and level — each with its ECO code, move order, main idea, plans for both sides and a famous practitioner.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Random Chord Generator and Random Cocktail Recipe Generator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Randomness comes from the browser's cryptographic source, so an identifier is safe to use as a key. The card numbers satisfy the Luhn check and the issuer prefixes precisely so a payment form will accept them in test mode; no account stands behind any of them.
