Type a yes or no question, shake the ball and read the answer.
Think of a question that can be answered with yes or no, type it in the box and press Shake the ball. The ball rocks for a moment, then a blue triangle floats up in the window with the answer. Your question stays under the answer, so you remember exactly what was decided, and every question you ask is listed below the ball until you close the page.
Want someone else to ask the same question? Share question copies a link that opens this page with your question already typed in. You can also start from a link such as gopickaro.com/magic-8-ball/?q=Should we order pizza?
The ball uses the 20 answers that fans of the classic toy know by heart. Each one has exactly the same chance, one in twenty, so every shake has a 50% chance of a positive answer, 25% of a non-committal one and 25% of a negative one. The answer is drawn with your browser's cryptographically secure random generator, and nothing makes one answer more likely than another.
| Positive (10) | Non-committal (5) | Negative (5) |
|---|---|---|
| It is certain | Reply hazy, try again | Don't count on it |
| It is decidedly so | Ask again later | My reply is no |
| Without a doubt | Better not tell you now | My sources say no |
| Yes, definitely | Cannot predict now | Outlook not so good |
| You may rely on it | Concentrate and ask again | Very doubtful |
| As I see it, yes | ||
| Most likely | ||
| Outlook good | ||
| Yes | ||
| Signs point to yes |
Need a plain, even split instead? The yes or no wheel gives a fair 50/50 answer, or you can flip a coin and name both sides.
A useful trick: notice how you feel when the answer appears. A small wave of relief or disappointment often tells you what you were hoping for all along.
No. Each answer is chosen at random, the same way the toy works when the die inside floats up.
Five of the twenty answers are non-committal, so about one shake in four ends that way. Shake again for a clearer answer.
No. They stay in this page only and disappear when you close it. Nothing is sent to a server.
Yes. Tap Shake the ball; there is no need to move the phone. If your device is set to reduce motion, the answer simply fades in.
