USE CASES
Popular Ways to Use It
Classroom Name Picker
Every class has that one kid who always answers. Put everyone's name on the wheel and spin before you ask the question. Nobody zones out, because it could be them.
Giveaway Winner Picker
Copy the entrants from your comments or a sheet, paste them in and spin. Do it live or screen-record it. People trust a winner they watched land.
Decision Maker
Where to eat, which movie, who pays for the pizza. Type in the options and spin. If you feel disappointed by the result, you've just found out what you really wanted.
Party Games
Add the players' names to make teams or fix the turn order. Works for dares too, when nobody wants to go first.
What Is a Spin the Wheel?
Spin the wheel online is a free tool where you type in a list and it shows up as a round wheel. Hit spin, and it picks one entry for you. Some people search for it as a wheel spinner, a wheel picker, a random picker wheel or a wheel of names, but it's all the same thing. Each entry gets one slice, and whichever slice ends up under the pointer when the wheel stops is the winner.
A normal random generator just throws a name at you and that's it. With the wheel you see it happen, slowly, in front of you. That's why people trust it. And since every slice is the same size, every entry has the same chance.
How SpinWheel World Works
Every spin is picked by a random number generator, so nothing is fixed before you press the button.
1. Add Your Entries
Type your names, numbers, prizes, foods or tasks into the box. Don't want to type? Start from a preset. One line makes one slice.
2. Make It Yours
The personal part is the list itself: your students, your prizes, your options. Add *2 after an entry if it deserves a double slice. Hit shuffle if you want the slices mixed up.
The colors are yours too. Tap Colors and pick one of seven ready sets — Classic if you like it bright, Ocean or Candy if you want it softer — and the wheel changes straight away. Spin time is up to you as well: 3 seconds for quick rounds in class, 10 seconds when a big prize deserves a longer wait. Both choices stay saved in your browser, so your wheel is set up the same way next time.
3. Spin the Wheel
Press SPIN. When the wheel stops, the slice under the pointer at the top wins, and you get a popup with confetti.
Who really picks the winner?
The winner is chosen the second you hit spin. The spinning is only there so you can watch it happen. That's why every entry has the same chance, and nobody can guess the result early.
One Wheel, Hundreds of Little Jobs
In the morning it picks which student answers next. By lunch it's choosing the winner of a giveaway you're running live on Instagram or YouTube. Come evening, it settles what's for dinner or which movie the family watches.
Same wheel all day, and the job changes every few hours. That's what hundreds of little jobs looks like in real life.
That's why the site already has ready-made wheels for the usual stuff: names, numbers, yes or no, food, teams and more. Grab one, and you can spin straight away without typing anything. Or open a blank custom wheel and put in your own list, whichever suits you better. Either way it takes less than a minute to set up, so nobody has to sit around waiting for the fun to start.
Why People Use Spin Wheels
Picking by hand is slow and somebody always ends up unhappy, so people let the wheel do it.
Everyone Sees the Result
The wheel turns, slows down and stops, and the winner is right there on screen. When people watch the whole thing happen, nobody has a reason to doubt it. Trust comes without you having to explain anything.
Decisions in One Spin
No long talks, no arguing about whose turn it is. You spin once and get an answer, which helps most when there are lots of options and everyone wants something different.
It's Fun to Watch
The spinning and the wait for it to stop is half the point. That's why a classroom, a live stream or a party crowd actually stops to look. A plain number popping up wouldn't get that.
One Tool, Every Job
Homework, games, giveaways, small everyday choices, the same wheel handles them all. You don't learn a new method each time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the wheel colors and how long it spins?

Is the spin wheel truly random?
Yes. A random number generator picks the winner the moment you press spin, and the turning wheel just shows you the result. Every entry has the same chance.
How many entries can I add to the wheel?
As many as you like. You can paste hundreds of names or numbers in one go, so a big giveaway or a whole school list is no problem.
Can I save and share my wheel?

No. It runs in your browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or smartboard. No app, no account.
Can I spin multiple wheels or remove winners?
