About Ladder Game

The Ladder Game, also known as Ghost Leg or Amidakuji, is a visual way to draw lots. It creates a web of vertical and horizontal lines, tracing paths from top to bottom.

It's the perfect tool when your group needs to make a random decision quickly. Use it to decide who pays for lunch, who does the chores, or who wins a prize. Everyone's fate is completely random but wildly fun to watch.

Our online ladder game works instantly on your phone. Just add the participants and optional results at the bottom, and tap a name to watch the line trace its way down.

Tips & Strategy

  • Tapping one name at a time to follow its winding path builds real suspense, so skip 'Reveal All' when you want a dramatic reveal.
  • For fair decisions like who pays for lunch, fill in the bottom results first and let players pick a name from the top, so no one can predict the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can play the Ladder Game?

You can set from 2 to 8 participants. Type names along the top and results, such as penalties or prizes, along the bottom.

Do I have to type names and results?

Names and results are both optional, so you can trace the ladder even with the fields left blank. You can also use the shuffle feature to randomize the order of participants.

Can I see everyone's results at once?

Tap a name to watch the line trace its way down to a single result. Press 'Reveal All' to show every participant's outcome at the same time.

Before your first round

Ladder is a decision tool: enter the participants and outcomes before revealing the paths. For duties or presentation order, agree on the outcomes first. Reveal one participant at a time to follow the route, or use the all-results option when you need the complete allocation.
