Muxgen's generator has 293 real items in 12 categories: kitchen, bathroom & cleaning, around the house, office & school, clothing & accessories, tech & gadgets, tools & garden, toys & games, sports & camping, travel, food, and nature. Every item is tagged by size (pocket-size, handheld, or large) and by whether it's found in most homes, so you can pick things players can actually find.
Scavenger hunt mode builds a checklist for indoors or outdoors, and the desert island challenge deals 10 items and asks which 3 you'd keep. Everything runs in your browser, with no sign-up.
