Is there a website where I can do multiple lists and have a random selection from those lists?

There are loads to put a list in and it will randomise the lists.

So for arguments sake.

List 1 mum, dad
List 2 Nick, dam
List 3 sis, niece
List 4 geography, art
List 5 sport, literature

Then have, a random, mum, nick, sis, art etc selected.

Not sure about a website, but fairly easy to do in MS Excel.

I am quite disappointed that on a website called CSS tricks that it isn't a CSS trick. I'm sure someone could find a way, although there is a special hell for anyone who does that sort of thing in production, a family zoom quiz you might just get away with going to normal hell.
