Pixel Race Timer
About this tool
An 8-bit, retro-video-game twist on the random order race โ same fair, fully randomized mechanic as the classic Race Timer, with a cast of pixel-art heroes (a knight, a wizard, a robot, a space explorer, and an adventurer) racing toward the finish line instead of plain icons. Paste in your student list, hit start, and let the pixel crew decide who goes first.
Works for anything you'd use the classic Race Timer for: presentation order, reading turns, deciding who answers first, or picking a line-up order at dismissal. The retro gaming theme tends to land especially well with classes that are into video games, and pairs naturally with the site's chiptune-style background music.
As with every race on this site, there's no limit on class size, no account required, and results are different every single time โ reset and race again as many times as you like during a lesson.
