Gachapon MachineGachapon machines — the Japanese capsule-toy vending machines — turn every draw into a tiny event. This online gacha simulator recreates that feeling: every name or option becomes a capsule, you turn the crank, and one capsule tumbles out and pops open.
Use it as a prize draw machine, a random name picker with extra drama, or just for the fun of cranking a gachapon without hunting down coins. It’s free, runs in the browser, and needs no app.
Add names, prizes, or options — each entry is loaded into the machine as a capsule.
Turn the crank to start the draw.
One capsule drops out, chosen at random from everything inside.
Pop it open to reveal the result, then crank again for the next draw.
Load prizes instead of names: a sticker, a snack, first pick of seats, a homework pass. Pick the winner with the wheel or the race, then let them crank the gacha for their own prize. Two draws feel bigger than one.
Keep a list of small rewards saved, and when a student earns one, they come up and crank. Capsules show no names inside the machine, so nobody knows what is coming until it pops open. That keeps it exciting after the tenth time.
Fill the machine with review questions, speaking prompts, icebreakers, or party challenges. Each crank gives one prompt. It works for language practice, quiz revision, and team-building games where the next question should be a surprise.
Turn on "Remove after win" and every capsule leaves the machine once drawn. Each entry is one capsule, so the room can see the machine empty as you go. Use it for presentation order, gift exchange order, or taking turns at a game.
Put everyone's name in, then each person cranks to find out whose gift they receive. If someone draws their own name, put it back and crank again. On a projector the whole room watches each capsule drop, which beats paper slips from a bowl.
Every capsule has the same odds, and there are no rarity tiers. To make a big prize rare, add common prizes several times and the big prize once. Five "sticker" capsules and one "grand prize" capsule give the grand prize a one-in-six chance.
