Result Presets

Ladder Game · Ghost Leg · Amidakuji Online

JAY Project's Ladder Game (also known as Ghost Leg or Amidakuji) lets you run a fair, paper-free draw on any phone or laptop. Pick lunch, assign chores, decide who buys coffee, or set the presentation order with up to 20 players — done in seconds.

The horizontal bars are regenerated each round with cryptographic randomness (crypto.getRandomValues), so the result cannot be predicted from your starting position. Penalty presets and a local history make repeat rounds with the same group instant.

Best Use Cases

🍱 Lunch picker / pay-the-bill

Drop menus or "lose / win" tags into the result slots; the ladder draws a fair outcome and the loser picks up the tab.

🧹 Chore rotation / turn order

Enter names against 1st·2nd·3rd slots to settle presentation order or cleaning duty without the friction of rock-paper-scissors.

🎁 Party penalties

Drive a party-game penalty with cinematic one-by-one reveals, in full view of the whole group.

How to Play

Add players: Enter up to 20 names.
Add results / penalties: Type penalties or pick from presets.
Start the game: The ladder is generated with cryptographic randomness.
Reveal: Click a player to trace their path, or use Auto Play.
Share: Send the result link to friends.

💡 Pro Tip: If you list fewer results than players, the extras land on blank slots — perfect for "one person pays" setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How fair is the result?

The horizontal bars of the ladder are regenerated every round using crypto.getRandomValues plus a Fisher-Yates shuffle. Your starting position is independent of the result — the outcome is genuinely random every time.

Q. How many players can join?

Up to 20 players per round. The result list can be a different length from the player list — extra players fall on "blank" slots, perfect for "one person pays" coffee bets.

Q. Can I share the result?

Hit Share after the round ends to copy a shareable link and a text summary. Friends opening the link see the exact same draw.

Q. Same players, same penalties — will the result stay the same?

No. The ladder bars are regenerated each round, so even repeated games produce a fresh outcome.

Q. Does it work offline / on mobile?

Yes. The draw runs entirely in your browser — no network call needed. Mobile layouts auto-fit the ladder width to your screen.

Q. What are the penalty presets?

Common penalties like "buy lunch", "buy coffee", "do the chore", "present first" are one-click presets, and your custom penalties are saved to history for reuse.

* Ladder bars are freshly generated every round with cryptographic randomness and a Fisher-Yates shuffle.
