Who Goes First?

Settle first turn without arguing. Everyone puts a finger down; one player starts. Place fingers on the board, countdown, and one is chosen.

Tips

  • Place fingers together so nobody can stall.
  • Use Elimination if you also need a second player.
  • Switch to Last Finger Standing for a full knockout.

Better than drawing straws

Who Goes First is the highest-intent reason to use Finger Picker instead of a name wheel.

  • Same screen

    The group sees the pick happen live—no hidden dice roll.

  • No roster

    You do not need to type names first.

  • Works in class

    Teachers can pick who presents or who starts a game.

How to Use Who Goes First?

Who Goes First? opens the same live Finger Picker board with a matching mode already selected. People place fingers or click markers, then a countdown chooses fairly.

This is not a name list wheel. Everyone has to be on the same screen. Use the Random Name Picker if the group is remote.
