You can make a tier list with friends three ways: rank on one screen (in the same room or over a video call), send a share link so everyone ranks their own copy, or run it as a live vote on the polls page. None of them needs an account — boards autosave in the browser as you drag.
Tier lists are best as a group activity — nothing starts a friendly argument like ranking things together. Here is how to make a tier list with friends and share the result.
The best group topics are ones everyone knows: fast food, movies, songs, or your friend group’s inside jokes. Browse tier list ideas if you need inspiration, or grab a ready template.
Snacks are the reliable opener at any hangout — everyone has a take and nobody gets hurt. A friend group tier list is the high-stakes version: ranking friends works when the group is tight and the labels stay kind, so swap D tier for something affectionate before you start. The most fun tier lists to do with friends tend to be the petty ones — group-chat emojis, everyone’s phone cases, worst takes of the year. And if you want structure — rounds, scoring, a host — that’s an icebreaker turned full party game: tier list party game has the rules for game night.
Gather around one device, share your screen on a call, or pass it around. Drag each item into a tier as the group debates. The board saves in the browser, so you can pause and come back.
In person, the same room is the whole feature: one device, loud opinions. Remote works nearly as well — share your screen on Zoom or FaceTime, or sit in a Discord voice chat while one person drags. The cleaner variant is to take turns: each round, someone places one item and defends it before the group can overrule. Turns keep the loudest friend from ranking everything, and they make a video call feel less like watching someone else use a mouse.
Disagreements are the point. Use the middle tiers (B and C) for compromises, and rename tiers to something fun like “Goated” and “Trash” — see creative tier names for ideas.
Agree on one axis before the first drag: are you ranking on quality, nostalgia, or pure vibes? Half of all group arguments turn out to be two people using different criteria. For true deadlocks, set a tiebreaker up front — majority wins, host decides, or let duel mode settle it with head-to-head picks until an order falls out. Fun labels lower the temperature too; it stings less to see your favorite in “Mid” than in D.
When you are done, export a PNG and drop it in the group chat. It is the perfect way to make the ranking official and keep the debate going.
A shareable link works too — post it and friends open the board itself, not a picture of it. Every format and option lives in how to share a tier list.
Straight answer first: there are no live rooms here — no room codes to join, no real-time cursors, no edit access to hand out. A collaborative tier list on this site means screen share, pass-the-device, or a vote. In practice, ranking over a voice call covers most of what a multiplayer board would, with fewer people fighting over the same tile.
The share link carries more of the load than you’d expect. Invite the group by dropping your board’s URL in the chat, and each friend gets their own copy to rearrange — everyone ranks the same items online, then you compare results and argue about the differences. That isn’t real-time collaboration so much as parallel play, and for a friend group it’s often the better format: nobody can nudge your S tier while you’re not looking.
When you want consensus instead of a shouting match, make it a live vote. The polls page hosts community voting — everyone votes on the same items, and the result is a ranking the majority actually built rather than whatever the person holding the mouse decided.
Voting also fixes the comparison problem. Averaging five separate boards by eye is guesswork; one poll collects every opinion into a single result. And when your group settles on a final version, publishing the board to the community gallery lets people outside the group pile onto the debate.
The same format travels well past the friend group. A team can brainstorm priorities by ranking features, vendors or lunch spots — a tier grid reads faster than a meeting’s worth of notes, and it makes team decisions visible instead of implied. In a classroom it turns review into a debate, and at the office it’s a low-stakes way to surface a disagreement in the workplace before it becomes a real one.
Gather on one screen or share your screen on a call — drag items together as you debate, then export the final board to share.
Anything everyone has opinions on: fast food, movies, songs, or your own friend group. Shared, debatable topics work best.
Export a PNG with one click and post it in your group chat or on social media.
Yes — rank on one shared screen, send a share link so each friend ranks their own copy, or run the ranking as a live poll. All three are free here, with no account needed for anyone in the group.
Not in the live-room sense — this site has no room codes or shared cursors. The real-time part happens on your call: share a screen and drag while everyone argues, or take turns on one device. For a group verdict without a call, use the polls page instead.
Yes. Run the ranking on the polls page and the community votes live on the same items, or publish a finished board to the browse gallery for feedback. Both work without anyone creating an account.
Free access with no sign-up wall (so the whole group can actually open it), drag-and-drop that works on phones, renameable tiers, autosave, and a clean export for the group chat. Live multi-editor rooms are nice but optional — most groups rank on one screen anyway.
Pick one person to drive, agree on the criteria, then go item by item: someone proposes a tier, the group debates, majority places it. Save close calls for a second pass — they get easier once the extremes are on the board. Export the result so the verdict is official.
