The ritual

Ask. Shake. Reveal. Share.

Answer Orb is built around the one moment that matters: the pause before an answer appears. Keep it light, shake once, and send the reveal to a friend.

Ask

Type a small yes-or-no question, or let the orb offer a prompt.

Shake

Tap the orb and wait for the animated answer to rise into view.

Share

Send the exact animated reveal as a link, with no account required.

Better questions

How to ask the Magic 8 Ball.

The best questions are direct, low-stakes, and easy to answer with yes, no, or try again later. If the answer annoys you, that reaction may be the real reading.

Make it yes-or-no

Try "Should I pick the comedy?" instead of "What movie should we watch?"

Keep it playful

Use the ball for games, icebreakers, and small decisions rather than serious personal, medical, legal, or financial choices.

Trust the first shake

Re-asking until you get the answer you wanted is allowed, but it does reveal what you wanted all along.
