Start random chatThundr and Stranger Talk: how they differ
Thundr describes itself as a random chat site where you can meet strangers by video or text, matched by interests. Stranger Talk is text only. It adds icebreakers, two-player games and interest rooms, and most of the people on it are from India. Stranger Talk is an independent site, not part of Thundr. Features on other sites change, so check Thundr's own site for its latest.

Rooms when you want them
Join chat rooms by topic, city and language, or open group chats.
