Video Game Genre Picker — Break Out of Your Gaming Comfort Zone

The Video Game Genre Picker Wheel randomly selects a video game genre so you can discover new types of games beyond your usual favourites. Whether you default to FPS every session or haven't touched a puzzle game in years, a single spin opens you to 14 genres.

Pre-loaded with FPS, RPG, MOBA, Battle Royale, Strategy, Simulation, Puzzle, Platformer, Fighting, Racing, Horror, Sports, Sandbox, and Adventure. Edit to add sub-genres like soulslike, roguelite, or visual novel.
