Questions, answered

What to know before you begin.

ShuffleCue is designed for quick facilitation without turning participant information into an account or online database.

Does ShuffleCue upload participant names?

No. Names, attributes, tasks, groups, teams, and results are processed in the browser. The shared roster can be saved locally on that device.

Do I need to create an account?

No. All six activity tools can be used without signing up.

How does ShuffleCue keep group sizes even?

It shuffles the included roster and distributes people across the chosen number of groups so the size difference is no more than one whenever possible.

Can I reuse groups and teams in other tools?

Yes. Groups and teams created in the workspace can be used for task assignments and speaking order without entering their members again.

Is random selection always the fairest choice?

Random selection can reduce bias, but facilitators should still account for accessibility, safeguarding, support needs, and the purpose of the activity.
