Ever wanted to make a life decision based entirely on the vibe of a mysterious talking shell? Of course you have. That’s why I built Ask the Magic Conch.

Inspired by the Magic 8 Ball (and maybe a certain underwater cartoon), the Magic Conch exists to give you delightfully unhelpful advice. It’s coded in plain ol’ HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and it dishes out totally random answers — from the encouraging to the cryptic to the slightly rude.

Pull the string, ask your question, and let fate (or random JS functions) decide. Perfect for your biggest life choices or deciding what takeaway to order.

Try it out, ask something silly, and let me know what the shell says.
