About this wheel

Calling on people at random feels fairer than choosing, and it keeps everyone paying attention. Paste the names of your class, team or group, spin, and the wheel decides who goes next.

Turn on Remove winner to work through the whole list with no repeats. It's the simplest way to run presentations, cold calls, raffles or turn order in a game without anyone feeling skipped.

How to use it

  1. Open Entries and paste your names, one per line. They appear on the wheel as you type.
  2. Press Spin or Ctrl + Enter.
  3. Set Winners to Remove in Settings to go through everyone once.
  4. Copy the share link to reuse the same list next time.

Questions

How many names can I add?

Up to 500. With more than 40 names the labels get too small to print, so the result is shown in large text when the wheel stops.

Are the names stored anywhere?

No. The list stays in your browser and in the share link you create. Nothing is sent to our servers.

Can I give someone a better chance?

Yes. Add a weight after a name, like Sam *2, and that name gets twice the space and twice the chance.
