Spin the Wheel
Create a custom wheel with your own options and spin to pick randomly.
Add your own options to a colorful wheel and spin to make random decisions. Perfect for giveaways, picking restaurants, or settling disputes. Animated wheel with history tracking.
A wheel spinner settles questions a coin flip cannot: more than two choices, all with equal odds, and a result everyone can watch happen. Type your options one per line (two minimum) and the wheel redraws itself into equal segments colored from an eight-color palette. Press Spin and the wheel turns five to eight full rotations over four seconds with a realistic deceleration curve before stopping on the winner.
The winner is decided the honest way: a uniformly random index is chosen the moment you click, and the animation is calculated to land the pointer on that segment. Every option has exactly the same probability regardless of segment order or where the wheel stopped last time. After a spin, the result appears in a banner, and a history line tracks recent winners so you can follow a session of draws. For elimination rounds, one click removes the winner from the wheel so the next spin only includes the remaining entries.
Three presets fill the wheel instantly: Yes/No for binary calls, a food list for lunch debates, and a color list. Labels longer than twelve characters are shortened on the wheel itself, but the winner banner always shows the full text. Your list lives only in the page's memory: nothing is saved or sent anywhere, and reloading the page starts fresh.
- 1
Add your options
Type entries one per line, at least two. The wheel redraws into equal colored segments as you type, or load a preset.
- 2
Spin
Click Spin. The wheel rotates five to eight full turns over four seconds and decelerates onto a uniformly random segment.
- 3
Act on the result
Read the winner banner, check the history line, and optionally remove the winner from the wheel for an elimination-style next round.
Classroom participation
Load student names and spin to pick who answers next, removing each chosen name so everyone gets a turn.
Giveaway draws
Run a visible, fair winner selection during a livestream where viewers watch the wheel land on the result.
Lunch decisions
Use the Food preset or paste a list of nearby restaurants when the team cannot agree on where to eat.
Task assignment
Spin to distribute chores or sprint cleanup tickets so nobody can argue the assignment was biased.
Is the spin actually random, or does the animation decide?
The winning option is picked with a uniform random draw the instant you click Spin. The four-second animation is then computed to land on that segment, so the visual is theater and the odds are equal for every entry.
Can I remove a winner and spin again?
Yes. After each spin, a remove option appears under the winner as long as more than two entries remain. This turns the wheel into an elimination draw where previous winners cannot be picked twice.
How many options can the wheel hold?
Two at minimum, with no fixed maximum. Beyond eight segments the labels shrink, and text over twelve characters is truncated on the wheel itself, but the winner banner always displays the full option.
Are my entries saved or shared anywhere?
No. The list exists only in the open page: it is never transmitted and is not written to storage, so reloading the page clears both the options and the spin history.
Does the wheel keep a record of past results?
A history line tracks the last 20 winners during your session, with the 10 most recent shown below the wheel. It is useful for multi-round draws and resets when you leave the page.
