Creating Your First Teams

1. Add your members

Enter names using the on-screen keyboard, or pull them in from your contacts (iOS/Android) or an imported file (see Importing Lists). Each person you add appears in your member list, where you can edit, remove, or temporarily mark them absent without deleting them.

2. Choose how many teams (or how big each team should be)

Team Shake can split people either by number of teams (e.g. “make 4 teams”) or by team size (e.g. “make teams of 5”). Pick whichever fits how you’re organizing the activity.

3. Shake

On mobile, give your device a shake — or tap the Shake button if you’d rather not wave your phone around. On web, click Shake. Team Shake instantly generates color-coded, named teams from your member list.

From the results screen you can:

Share teams via email, text, or social media
Export results as a spreadsheet (CSV or XLS)
Save the list of members for next time, so you don’t have to re-enter everyone

See Sharing & Exporting Results for details.
