How Random Chat Works

Random chat pairs you with whoever happens to be online, which is half the fun. You don't pick a topic or a person. Step 1 asks one question, how you're best described, so the people you land with have a starting point. It also drives the filters in step 2, so random doesn't have to mean anyone at all.

If a random match goes quiet, you can move on straight away. Some people prefer a room with a theme instead, and our free chat rooms have plenty of those, from music to regional rooms.

Random chat works on phones as well as computers, in the browser, with nothing to install. If you'd rather choose your own crowd, the talk to strangers room is the open version.

Get talking with whoever turns up. Every visit is a different conversation. Random Chat is for people who like surprises. Pick a chat name, answer two quick questions and you're in. There's no email, no download and nothing to pay.
