Hi @Doriana-Gray. There are many approaches to achieve what you are trying to do. Random is a simple way, and it can be safe if you pay attention - mainly you need to do \*random before a \*page\_break, or the value may change if you click on the stats. It also works with \*goto.

@Nahim_Kerman discussed a problem similar to yours, here. You may use some of his ideas.  
_“For example. I envision this kind of code as a way for, at the beginning of each game, a set of scenes would be sorted. Each scene will an independent event that must occur just once in each session. My idea is that way you can add replay-ability to your game.”_

There is some basic support of lists in CS, but it’s a little clunky. You can have a look here: [https://choicescriptdev.fandom.com/wiki/Arrays](https://choicescriptdev.fandom.com/wiki/Arrays) or [How to deal with arrays](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/how-to-deal-with-arrays/82561)

Feel free to ask additional questions. Good luck on your game!
