Random Time Generator

Spin for a random time of day, from 12:00 AM to 11:45 PM in 15-minute steps. Buttons switch to hours, 5 minutes or 24-hour times.

Tip: Anna *3 gives Anna three chances.

🖼️ Photos

Add pictures of people, pets or things. Each photo takes its file's name (ava.jpg becomes "Ava") and appears in every game. Photos stay on this device and are not in share links.

    Tip: start a name with an emoji, like 🍕 Pizza, for a picture without a photo.

      Ways to use this list

      • Telling the time: spin, then children set the hands on a toy clock or draw them on a blank clock face.
      • Convert between clocks: spin a 12-hour time and the class writes it in 24-hour form, so 7:45 PM becomes 19:45.
      • Elapsed time problems: spin two times and work out how long it is from the first to the second.
      • Mystery deadline: spin a daytime slot, and that is when the tidy-up, the snack or the big reveal happens.
      • Story starters: open with "At 3:15 AM the phone rang", using whatever time the wheel lands on.

      Press Spin the wheel, tap the game or press the Space bar. Change the list in the box as you like: add your own, delete what doesn't suit you, or write *2 after an entry to give it double the chance. The game buttons switch the same list to a duck race, hat, claw machine and more.

      Questions people ask

      Can I pick a random time between two times?

      Yes. Press Daytime 8 AM–8 PM for a ready-made range, or clear the list and type the times you want, such as every half hour from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

      Is 12:00 AM midnight or noon?

      12:00 AM is midnight, the very start of the day, and 12:00 PM is noon. In 24-hour time they are 00:00 and 12:00, which is why many timetables avoid AM and PM altogether.

      Why 15-minute steps and not every minute?

      A wheel of 96 quarter-hour times is easy to read, while every minute of the day would mean 1,440 thin slices. For finer steps press Every 5 minutes, which opens on the slot machine.

      How can kids practice telling the time with it?

      Press Telling the time: the list holds o'clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to for every hour on a clock face. Spin, then say the time in words, like "quarter to nine" for 8:45.
