Your Personal Wheel of Fortune
Need to pick someone for a task? Choose a winner from a list? Decide between options fairly? A spinning wheel makes random selection visual, dramatic, and undeniably fair. Everyone can see the spin; everyone accepts the result.
This customizable spinner lets you add any options you want. Type in names, prizes, tasks, or choices. Spin the wheel and watch it land on a random selection. Simple, transparent, and oddly satisfying.
Key Features
Custom Entries
Add as many options as you need. Names, items, tasks — any text works. Each gets a colored segment on the wheel.
Animated Spin
Realistic physics-based spinning with gradual slowdown. The suspense as it slows is half the fun.
Remove Winners
Option to remove selected entries after they're picked. Perfect for raffles where each person can only win once.
Save & Share
Save your wheel configuration. Share a link so others can spin the same wheel.
Popular Uses
Classroom Activities
Teachers use spin wheels to randomly call on students, assign group tasks, or pick activities. It's fair, it's engaging, and kids love the drama of the spin.
Giveaways and Raffles
Enter contestant names, spin to pick winners, remove them from the wheel, spin again for second place. Transparent selection that participants can watch live.
Team Assignments
Assign tasks, pick who presents first, or decide who handles the unpleasant job. Nobody can argue with the wheel.
Game Night
Pick which game to play, who goes first, or what challenge comes next. Add variety and randomness to your entertainment.
Chore Distribution
Put household tasks on the wheel, have everyone spin once, accept your fate. At least the selection was random.
Decision Making
When a group can't agree, put all options on the wheel. The spin settles debates without taking sides.
Making Fair Selections
Equal probability: Each segment of the wheel has an equal chance of being selected. A wheel with 10 names gives each person a 10% chance.
Weighted options: Add the same name multiple times to increase their odds. "John" entered twice on a 10-entry wheel has a 20% chance.
Elimination mode: Remove winners after each spin to ensure everyone gets picked eventually without repeats.
Verification: Spin in front of participants so everyone sees the result is legitimate. The visual nature of the wheel builds trust.
Tips for Better Spins
Keep entries readable — Long text gets cramped on small wheel segments. Use short names or abbreviations when possible.
Limit to reasonable numbers — 20-30 entries work well visually. For larger lists, consider multiple rounds.
Test privately first — Make sure your wheel is set up correctly before spinning in front of an audience.
Fullscreen for presentations — If displaying to a group, fullscreen mode makes the wheel more visible and dramatic.
FAQ
Is the selection truly random?
Yes. The result is determined by a random number generator, not wheel position or spin speed.
How many options can I add?
No hard limit, but the wheel becomes harder to read with too many entries. 30-40 is a practical maximum for readability.
Can I save my wheel for later?
Your entries save in browser local storage. For permanent saving or sharing, use the share link feature.
Can others see my wheel?
Only if you share the link. Wheels are stored locally until you explicitly share them.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Touch to spin works on phones and tablets. The interface adapts to smaller screens.
