Pick a random number between 1 and 4 instantly. Use it for tiebreakers, turn order among four players, or as a virtual four-sided die. Each value has a 25% chance on every generate.
With only four possible values, each integer (1, 2, 3, 4) has exactly a 25% chance on every generate. The 1–4 range is the smallest useful range for many group decisions: four-player turn order, four-option choices (A/B/C/D), or a virtual D4 die for tabletop games. This tool uses JavaScript's Math.random() seeded from hardware entropy for unbiased results every time.
Pool mode: fair rotation among four
Pool mode cycles through 1, 2, 3, and 4 in shuffled order before repeating. This guarantees each value appears exactly once per cycle — ideal for assigning turns in four-player games, creating randomized A/B/C/D sequences for quizzes, or fair rotation of any four-option task.
Common uses
The 1–4 range handles four-player games (who goes first?), four-quadrant spinners, choice between four options when a coin flip isn't enough, and random team assignment in groups of four. The blind pick mode lets two players compete fairly within the 1–4 range for tiebreakers.
Frequently asked questions
Is this truly random?
Yes — Math.random() seeded from hardware entropy. Each of the four values has exactly a 25% chance per generate.
Can I use this as a D4 die?
Yes. A four-sided die (D4) produces integers 1–4 with equal probability. This tool is the digital equivalent, suitable for any game that requires a D4 roll.
What is pool mode for 1–4?
Pool mode cycles through 1, 2, 3, 4 in random order before repeating. Each value appears exactly once per cycle — useful for fair four-player turn assignment or randomized four-option sequences.
Who uses this tool
Game players
Decide turn order for four players instantly. Use pool mode to cycle through all four positions before repeating.
Teachers
Randomly assign A/B/C/D options to students, or pick from four groups fairly. Pool mode ensures balanced distribution.
RPG players
Virtual D4 for tabletop games when physical dice aren't available. Same 25% probability per face.
Decision makers
Choose between exactly four options — restaurants, movies, routes — with a provably fair random pick.
