How to Create a Blind Ranking Tier List in Minutes

Creating your own blind ranking tier list takes less than five minutes. Whether you want to settle a debate with friends or go viral on TikTok, here's how to build a custom blind rank game from scratch.

Step 1: Pick Your Topic

The best blind ranking categories have 10–30 items that people have strong opinions about. Think: fast food chains, sitcoms, rappers, candy bars, video game characters. The more divisive the topic, the more fun the blind ranking will be.

Avoid categories where most people would agree on the ranking — there's no fun in debating something everyone sees the same way.

Step 2: Add Your Items

Head to blindrank.com/create and start adding items to your category. Each item needs a name, and you can optionally upload an image (up to 4 MB). Images make the blind ranking more engaging, especially if you plan to share it or film a reaction video.

Tip: add at least 10 items for a satisfying blind ranking experience. Fewer than that and the tier list feels too short.

Step 3: Customize Your Questions

By default, blind ranking asks players to place each item into a tier (S through F). But you can customize the question — for example, "How much do you love this?" or "Would you eat this at 3 AM?" Custom questions give your blind ranking personality and make results more interesting.

Step 4: Share and Play

Once your category is published, anyone with the link can play your blind ranking. Share it on social media, send it to a group chat, or use party mode to play live with friends.

Every player gets their own blind ranking results, and you can compare tier lists afterward to see where you agree and where you don't.

Tips for Viral Blind Rankings

If you want your blind ranking to take off, keep these tips in mind:

• Use high-quality images — they make tier lists more shareable. • Pick a topic with a built-in audience (fandoms, food debates, nostalgia). • Keep item counts between 15–25 for the sweet spot of depth without fatigue. • Share results as screenshots or screen recordings — the reveal is the content. • Use party mode to create group reaction videos.
