I had not heard about this, but the title reminded me of a 90s UK travel show based on a similar concept, "The Dice Man" [0]. The host asks strangers for alternatives and throws the dice to decide what to do / where to go

- chatmasta 7y agoSounds cool, but finding six things to do sounds at least as hard as finding one!
- martinpw 7y agoNice thing about a die is that you don't need six different things. Lots of ways to map a 1-6 number range to limited choices.
- coldtea 7y agoFinding six things is obviously easier, since it's the choice of "what's the specific thing I should do" that's usually difficult, not the enumeration of different choices. The dice method lets you remove yourself from this difficult final decision -- and since the decision you're now reluctant to take is now just 1 in 6 or 2 in 6 or such, and you include safe options too (e.g. "do nothing"), it's easier to write them down (you still feel like you have a way out through the dice when you're writing the difficult option down, as it might not come up).
