Pick your winners with a name picker!

The winner of a prize draw collects the prize in front of the big screen

Pick someone at random in front of a room, with a result no one questions.

Your list of participants can come from many sources: kiosk, QR code, social media, your own list, or several of these combined!

The name picker is a scene within a scenario: it takes participants as input and returns winners and non-winners as output. That is what lets you chain it with other scenes.

Anything is possible: each scene can reuse everything produced during the event. See our name picker scenarios!

Handling absentees

You ask participants to be present, yet some are always missing.

The name comes up, no one stands, and you have to redraw in front of the room.

During the broadcast, you can cancel the last draw, or at the end of the draws: exclude the absentees, confirm those present or simply add draws!

Absentees? Add draws At the end, two winners are absent: two draws are added.
Absentees? Exclude, then draw Two winners are absent: their draws are canceled, you draw again.
Absentees? Confirm those present You confirm those present: the other draws are canceled, to be drawn again.
Someone missing? Cancel the draw The winner is missing: their draw is canceled, another one takes its place.

Frequently asked questions about the name picker

How many participants can I add?

The number of participants depends on your plan:

  • 100 participants on the “Discovery” plan,
  • 1,000 participants on the “Essential” plan,
  • 10,000 participants on the “Pro” plan.

Same-day sign-ups have their own limit

Having people sign up on the day is counted separately:

  • 25 sign-ups on the “Discovery” plan, by QR code,
  • 100 sign-ups on the “Essential” plan, by QR code or at a kiosk,
  • 1,000 sign-ups on the “Pro” plan, by QR code, at a kiosk or from a web form.

Can I handle people who are absent?

Yes: you exclude the absent winner, then draw someone else instead.

  • During the broadcast, depending on the scene: “Cancel the last draw” excludes the winner who has just come up. That draw no longer counts: you draw again.
  • At the end: “Exclude absentees” excludes several winners at once. You get back as many draws as there are absentees.

An excluded person is out of all later draws for good.
