How to use the Magic 8-Ball
Type a yes-or-no question in the box, then click Ask the 8-ball. The ball shakes and reveals one of the twenty classic answers in the window. Ask again for a new reply any time.
Asking good questions
The 8-ball answers yes/no style questions best — 'Will it rain tomorrow?' or 'Should I order pizza?'. Phrase your question that way, shake, and read your fortune. It's all in good fun.
Questions
What answers can the 8-ball give?
All twenty originals — ten affirmative ('It is certain', 'Yes definitely'), five non-committal ('Reply hazy, try again', 'Ask again later'), and five negative ('My reply is no', 'Very doubtful'). One is picked at random each time you shake.
How does it pick an answer?
Each shake reads a random value from your browser's cryptographic generator and maps it to one of the twenty replies, all equally likely. There's no logic reading your actual question — it's pure chance, just like the toy.
Is this a real fortune teller?
No — it's for entertainment only. The Magic 8-Ball is a classic novelty, not a prediction tool. Ask it fun questions and enjoy the answer, but don't make real decisions based on it.
