What Is a Spin Wheel and How Does It Work?

A spin wheel (also called a wheel spinner, random picker or name wheel) is an online tool for making fair, random picks in seconds.

Add names, options or prizes, spin, and the wheel lands on a winner chosen by your browser's secure random number source. How the pick works.

This one can also fill the wheel from a short topic, pick up to 3 winners at once and record the spin as a video. To keep a spin wheel, copy its share link.

Questions About the Classroom Wheel Spinner

How do I use this as a classroom wheel spinner?

Paste your class list into the box, one name per line, and press spin. After each pick, press Remove Winner from List so the next spin only picks from students who have not had a turn yet. Press Present to fill the screen on the board.

Can I save my class list?

Your list is not stored on our server and is not kept between visits. To keep it, press Share Link to This Wheel after a spin and bookmark the link. The names travel inside the link, so anyone you give it to gets the same wheel.

Is the class spinner free?

Yes. There is no signup and no fee, and no limit on spins or names. Auto-fill is limited to a few requests a minute.

Is the random picker truly random and fair?

Yes. Every name gets an equal slice, and each spin uses your browser's secure random number source, crypto.getRandomValues. Nobody can time a click to change the result. Names can come up again unless you remove the winner.

Can I pick more than one student at a time?

Yes. Set Winners to 2 or 3 and the wheel picks that many in one go, ranked 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and takes them off the wheel. Press Put them back to return them.

Does it work on Chromebooks, iPads and interactive whiteboards?

It runs in any modern web browser, so there is nothing to install. On a board or projector, use Present to show just the wheel, full screen.

What does auto-fill do?

Type a topic, such as 'Year 5 reward ideas', and it suggests 20 items and makes a background picture to match. Only the topic you type is sent to our server, not your list. You can edit the suggestions before you spin.

Can I record the spin for a giveaway?

Yes. After a spin, Share Video downloads or shares a recording of it, and Share Image makes a picture of the result. Both help show entrants the draw was fair.

How does a decision wheel help make choices?

Add your options, such as restaurants, films or tasks, spin, and go with the result. It ends the back and forth when nobody can decide.

Can I embed the spin wheel on my website?

Yes. Once your wheel has items, an embed code appears at the bottom of this page. Paste it into your own site or blog.

Games & Entertainment

Pick games, movies or activities and let the wheel choose.
