Rank anything with friends like it's Eurovision.
The free group ranking app. Vote with friends online on where to travel, what to watch, where to eat — or who makes the best pasta. Everyone hands out 1 to 8, 10 and 12 points, and douze points settles it.
One tool for group decisions and ranking games
Some votes matter: the trip destination, the restaurant, the film. Some are just for fun: a ranking game on a video call, a tier list with friends, a "who is the best" round at a party. Both work the same way here. You add the options, your group rates them by giving out points, and the combined ranking is revealed when you close the vote — as a scoreboard or as an S-to-D tier list.
How Eurovision-style voting works
1. Add your contenders
Songs, films, restaurants, names, demos — anything with a shortlist. Give each one a title and, if you like, a photo.
2. Share one link
Send the link or show the QR code. Open it to everyone, require sign-in for one ballot per person, or invite specific emails.
3. Everyone gives their points
Each voter drags 12, 10, 8 and the rest onto their favourites. They can change their mind until you close the voting.
4. Reveal the winner
Finish the voting and the full scoreboard appears for everyone — totals, rankings and who gave their douze points to what.
What will you rank with your friends?
The 12-point ladder isn't just for songs. It's the fairest quick way for a group to choose between more than two things.
Eurovision party
Run your own Eurovision party vote. Add the songs, share a link or QR code, and everyone gives 1–8, 10 and 12 points from their phone. Free, no app to install.
Movie night
End the 40-minute scroll. Add the shortlist, share a link, and let your friends vote by ranking the films. The fairest way to pick a movie as a group. Free.
Where to eat
Can't decide where to eat? List the restaurants, share one link, and let your friends or team rank them. Settle dinner or team lunch in two minutes. Free.
Baby names
Share your baby name shortlist and let family and friends rank their favourites with Eurovision-style points. Private link, results hidden until you reveal them.
Hackathon & demo day
Collect audience or jury votes for hackathon demos in minutes. Add the teams, show a QR code, and rank projects with Eurovision-style points. Free.
Book club
Pick your book club's next read fairly. Add the nominations, share a link, and let members rank them with Eurovision-style points.
Trip destination
Planning a group trip? Add the destinations, share one link, and let everyone rank them. A fair group vote for your trip destination in minutes. Free.
Ranking game
A free ranking game to play with friends online. Pick a topic, everyone secretly ranks the options, then reveal the group's verdict. Who is the best? Vote and find out.
Tier list with friends
Make a tier list with friends instead of alone. Everyone ranks the items, and the combined votes become one S-to-D group tier list. Free, online, nothing to install.
Why points beat a plain poll
Second choices count
A normal poll only hears first choices, so a divisive option can win. Ranked points find the option the whole group is happy with.
One ballot each
Signed-in voters are counted once per account. Link-only voters get one ballot per browser and can come back to edit it.
You hold the curtain
Only you see the live scoreboard. Voters see results when you finish the voting — no bandwagon, all suspense.
Nothing to install
It runs in the browser on any phone. Share a link or a QR code and people are voting in seconds.
Scoreboard or tier list
See the result as a Eurovision scoreboard, or switch to an S-to-D tier list built from everyone's votes.
Questions
What is Eurovision-style voting?
Every voter ranks their ten favourites and hands out 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 points — each value once. The points from all voters are added up and the highest total wins. It's how juries and viewers vote in the Eurovision Song Contest.
What can I vote on?
Anything with a shortlist: songs at a Eurovision party, movies, restaurants, baby names, holiday destinations, hackathon projects, book club picks, team names. Add between 2 and 200 items, each with an optional photo.
Why is this better than a normal poll?
A normal poll only counts first choices, so a divisive option can win with 30% of the vote. With ranked points, second and third choices count too, and the winner is the option the whole group is happiest with.
Can I make a tier list with friends?
Yes. Once voting is finished, switch the results from the scoreboard to the tier-list view. Items are sorted into S, A, B, C and D tiers based on everyone's combined points.
Is it a game or a decision tool?
Both. The same board works for a serious group decision — a trip destination, a restaurant — and for a ranking game with friends, where the fun is revealing the group's verdict at the end.
Is it free?
Yes. Creating boards and voting are free.
Do voters need an account?
Not unless you want them to. A board can be open to anyone with the link, limited to signed-in voters (one ballot per Google account), or invite-only by email.
What if there are fewer than ten options?
It still works. With four options you place four of your point chips — most people use 12, 10, 8 and 7 — and leave the rest in the tray.
Can people see the results while voting is open?
No. Only the board's creator sees live results. Everyone else sees them when the creator finishes the voting — just like waiting for the final scoreboard.
Can I change my vote?
Yes, you can reopen the board and update your ballot any time before voting is finished.
