About WatchDice
Sometimes you don't want to search for a video. You just want to watch one.
Remember channel-surfing late at night, landing on something you would never have picked, and loving it? That is what WatchDice brings back.
One click gives you a random YouTube video: viral classics, obscure uploads with three views, forgotten home videos, small gems from every era of YouTube.

How it works
- 1
Choose, or don't
Stick to a category — music, gaming, science, animals and more — or leave it all to chance with Total Surprise.
- 2
Roll the dice
Press the button, or the space bar. Out comes a video from our pool, at random, played right here.

Watch, or roll again
Liked it? Give it a thumbs-up or save it to your favourites. Didn't? The next one is a click away.
House rules
No algorithm
We keep an ever-refreshed pool of videos found through randomised searches across YouTube: different topics, different years, different corners of the platform. When you roll, one comes out at random. No recommendations, no filter bubble, no tracking-based suggestions.
Fair to creators
Videos play through the official YouTube player. Every view, like, comment and ad counts for the original creator exactly as if you were watching on YouTube itself. We never download, re-host or alter anyone's content.
Private by default
You don't need an account to roll the dice. Usage statistics are only collected if you accept cookies, and anonymously even then.
