Pass the Parcel DJ
Built-in synthesized music plays while a parcel bounces on screen, then stops at a genuinely random moment. A hidden fairness mode quietly guarantees everyone gets one stop before any repeat.
Built by the AbraCalc team
How to play
- List each player's name, one per line, so fairness mode can track whose turn is coming.
- Set the shortest and longest round length in seconds, then tap Play to start the music.
- The music stops at a random moment — the screen flashes STOP! and names who unwraps the next layer; with fairness mode on, the tool quietly picks whoever hasn't had a turn yet.
- Tap Play again to start the next round — fairness mode keeps cycling until everyone has had exactly one stop before anyone repeats.
List the players so the tool knows who's in the circle, set a shortest and longest round length, and tap Play — a built-in synthesized tune starts while a bouncing parcel keeps everyone's eyes on the screen. The music stops at a genuinely unpredictable moment inside your chosen window, just like the classic game, but a fairness mode hidden behind the gear icon quietly tracks turns behind the scenes so every listed player gets exactly one stop before anyone gets a second, no rigging visible and no one left out. Turn fairness mode off from the same gear menu for a fully random free-for-all instead. It runs entirely offline with no external audio files, which makes it dependable for birthday parties, classrooms, and anywhere a phone playlist would be one interruption away from chaos.
Frequently asked questions
- What does fairness mode actually do?
- When it's on, the tool keeps a hidden queue of the players you listed and guarantees each one gets exactly one stop before any name is picked a second time. The host can quietly check how many players are still waiting inside the gear menu — nothing about the queue ever appears on the main screen.
- Can I turn fairness mode off for a fully random game?
- Yes, open the gear menu next to the Play button and switch off fairness mode; the tool will then pick any listed player at random for each stop, with repeats possible at any time.
- Do I need to enter player names to use it?
- No — leave the names box empty and it works as a plain random-stop music player where whoever is physically holding the parcel unwraps a layer, with no turn tracking involved.
