Fortune generator

Open a virtual fortune cookie and read your fortune. One tap, a new fortune every time.

How the fortune generator works

Press the button and a fortune is drawn at random from 160 short fortunes we wrote for this page. They are gentle, sometimes playful nudges, the kind you would find folded inside a fortune cookie, and like a cookie they are for fun: no lucky numbers, no predictions about health or money.

When a fortune is useful

A random fortune works the way a one-card tarot draw does: it hands you a sentence and lets you notice what it stirs. If you want something with more to read, try the one card tarot reading or ask the yes or no oracle.

Use it for a party or a class

Open a cookie for each guest, use the fortunes as journaling prompts, or as conversation starters at the dinner table. The Copy button makes it easy to paste one into a card or a message.

Questions

Is the fortune generator random?

Yes. Each fortune is picked by your browser's cryptographic random generator from the short fortunes we wrote for this page, and the same fortune never shows twice in a row. Like a fortune cookie, it is for fun: there are no lucky numbers and no predictions about health or money.

Where do the fortunes come from?

We wrote all 160 of them. They are original, not copied from fortune cookie companies.
