About this tool
How it works
Set a minimum and maximum round length. Each round secretly selects a random ending time and sounds an alarm when the potato is out.
Example
For a fast party round, choose a random duration between 20 and 60 seconds.

How to use Hot Potato
- Choose the shortest and longest possible round.

Common questions
- Is every round actually random?
- Yes. A new ending time is selected inside the range whenever a round starts.
- Why can’t I hear the alarm?
- Check device volume, silent mode, and whether the browser allows audio. Keep the page open during play.
