Give everyone one turn before a new round begins.
No-repeat picking helps distribute participation across a session. Each selected name leaves the current pool, and a new round starts only after every name has been selected.
Prepare the full round
Paste the current participant list and remove anyone who is not taking part in the activity.
Pick and continue
Each click chooses from the names still remaining. The status message shows how many people are left in the round.
Begin again deliberately
After everyone has been selected, the next pick begins a fresh round using the same list.

Common questions
A simple answer for every group.
How are groups made fair?
Paste the full list, choose the number of groups or people per group, and select Create groups. GroupSpark shuffles the names and distributes them one by one so group sizes stay as even as possible.
Can I use this for a workshop?
Yes. Choose Number of groups for fixed stations or topics, or choose People per group when an activity needs a particular group size.
Do you store my names?
No. Your list is handled in your browser. Optional recent-list saving uses only local browser storage.
