The classic 20 answers
A real Magic 8 Ball die has 20 faces: 10 affirmative, 5 non-committal and 5 negative. This page uses exactly that set and that split, so a single shake is 50% affirmative, 25% non-committal and 25% negative.
Affirmative (10)
Non-committal (5)
Negative (5)
The Magic 8 Ball is a novelty toy. Answers here are drawn at random and carry no information about the future — please do not use them for medical, legal, financial or any other real decisions.
How it works
Type a yes-or-no question and press “Shake the ball”. The page picks one of the 20 answers
printed on a real Magic 8 Ball's icosahedral die — 10 affirmative, 5 non-committal and 5
negative — with every face equally likely, so each shake is a 50% / 25% / 25% split. The
draw uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator
(crypto.getRandomValues) with rejection sampling, so all 20 faces are exactly
equally likely and there is no clock-based pattern.
Every question and answer is kept in the session list, and Copy answers or Download .txt
exports the whole log with the running tally. Add ?seed=7 to the address to
get a fixed, repeatable sequence of answers — handy for demos and tests. Everything runs
locally in your browser: nothing is uploaded, no server picks your answer, and there are
no ads or trackers. It is a toy for fun, not a fortune teller.
Frequently asked questions
What are the 20 Magic 8 Ball answers?
The classic die carries ten affirmative answers, five non-committal ones and five negative ones. The full list is on the page under the answer key.
Are the answers random?
Yes, each shake draws uniformly from the 20 faces. Adding a seed to the URL makes the sequence reproducible, which is useful for testing or for sharing a run.
Should I make real decisions with it?
No, it is labelled for entertainment only. It is a novelty toy, not advice.
