What is a ghost leg?

A ghost leg, or amidakuji, is a ladder lottery popular in Japan and across East Asia. Each person starts at the top of a line and follows it down, crossing every rung they meet, until they reach a result at the bottom.

No paper needed

The rungs are drawn at random for you. Tap a name and the path animates down the ladder, so everyone can watch the screen together.

Any prizes or jobs

Put things like "Winner" or "Brings snacks" at the bottom. Any spaces left over become "Nothing", so a ghost leg with a single winner takes seconds.

How it works

  1. Enter one name per line.
  2. Enter prizes or jobs, or leave it empty.
  3. Tap "Make the ghost leg".
  4. Tap names to see where they end up.

Frequently asked questions

Is the draw fair?

Yes. Names are shuffled with the browser's cryptographic random numbers (crypto.getRandomValues), so everyone has the same chance. Nobody can choose the result.

Are the names I enter saved?

No. The draw happens in your browser and names are never sent to our server.

Can I share the result?

Tap "Copy" to copy the result with the time it was drawn, then paste it into your group chat.
