Random Activity Generator

How the Random Activity Generator Works

"I'm bored" is one of the most universal complaints, yet we often have more options than we realize. The problem isn't lack of activities; it's decision paralysis. Our Random Activity Generator cuts through the overwhelm by suggesting fun things to do based on your exact situation.

Use the filter buttons to customize your results. Choose Indoor or Outdoor based on where you want to be. Select your budget: Free activities cost nothing, Budget options are under $15, and Moderate suggestions may require more investment. Pick your energy level: Chill for relaxing activities, Moderate for balanced options, and Active when you want to move. Finally, decide if you're flying Solo, with one other person (Duo), or in a Group.

Click the big button to get a random activity that matches all your criteria. Each suggestion includes a description, estimated time commitment, and any supplies you might need so you know what to expect. Don't like what you see? Keep clicking until something sparks your interest. With over 70 activities in our database, you'll find options you never considered.

Example Activities by Category

Here's a sampling of activities in our database. We've curated options across every combination of filters so you always have something to do.

Activities by Mood

Sometimes you need to match activities to how you're feeling:

• When stressed: Try meditation, a long bath, gentle yoga, journaling, or a slow walk. Low-energy activities help you decompress.
• When restless: Channel that energy into exercise, deep cleaning, or creative projects. Being productive feels satisfying.
• When lonely: Call a friend, visit a public place like a coffee shop, or join a class or club. Human connection helps.
• When creative: Draw, write, play music, cook something new, or work on a craft project. Let the inspiration flow.
• When adventurous: Try something you've never done before. New experiences create energy and excitement.

Tips for Beating Boredom

Boredom isn't about having nothing to do; it's about not being engaged with what's available. Here are strategies to break the cycle:

• Try something new weekly: Step outside your comfort zone at least once a week. New experiences create lasting memories.
• Schedule fun: Block time for activities. Don't wait for boredom to strike, plan ahead.
• Mix solo and social: Balance time alone with group activities. Both are important for wellbeing.
• Embrace free options: Many of the best activities cost nothing. Don't let budget be an excuse.
• Match your energy: Choose activities that fit how you're feeling. Forcing high-energy activities when exhausted backfires.
• Keep a "to-try" list: Save activities you want to do for later. Having a ready list prevents decision paralysis.
• Limit screen time: Scrolling feels like an activity but often leaves you feeling emptier. Choose intentional engagement.
• Invite others: Solo activities often become more fun with company. Don't hesitate to reach out.
