  • Username: 3–20 letters, numbers or underscores. No real names or social handles.
  • Age: you must be 18 or older to enter.
  • Terms: confirm you are 18+ and agree to the Terms of Use.
  • Safety: your IP is logged as per our Privacy Policy.

Choosing a Name That Stays Anonymous

Your chat name is the one thing everyone sees, so it's where anonymity is easiest to lose. Avoid real names, initials plus a birth year, your town, and any handle you use elsewhere online. Someone can paste a reused username into a search engine and find your other accounts in seconds.

Names must be 3 to 20 letters, numbers or underscores. As a guest, the name isn't held for you between visits. A free account reserves it if you'd like to keep it, but it's optional, and the free online chat works fully without one.

A good anonymous name can still be friendly. Something like "NightOwlReader" tells people what to talk about without telling them who you are, here or in the chat with strangers room.

Like all our anonymous chat rooms, this room is free for everyone. Keep personal details private and use the block and report buttons if anyone bothers you.
