Decide Who Is ‘It’ With Chwazi

Sometimes you need a fair and equitable way of deciding who goes first in a board game, which child has to have a bath first or you need a way to divide people onto teams. You could draw straws or you could use Chwazi.

Available for free on iOS and Android, Chwazi is a simple app to help make simple decisions.

Just have everyone put their fingers on your phone and coloured circles will appear. Chwazi will choose someone for you, flashing their colour across the screen. No more squabbling.

It has become a favourite in the board gaming community where games offer up esoteric ways of deciding who is first player. The player that was most recently on a balcony, climbed a mountain or went on a date are all official reasons to designate them first player. You don’t have to put up with that nonsense if you don’t want to.

Chwazi can also split groups into different teams. All you need to do is tell the app how many groups you want them split into and then have everyone stick their fingers on your screen.
