How to use random wheel spinner
- 1. Enter at least two choices, one per line or separated by commas.
- 2. Choose whether the winner should be removed after each spin.
- 3. Select Spin the Wheel.
- 4. Use the selected result or spin again.
Common uses
Use the random wheel for classroom participation, giveaways, games, team activities, meal decisions, presentation order, brainstorming and any low-stakes choice where a visual random picker is useful.
Visual decisions
Turn a list of options into a more engaging visual choice for meetings, classrooms or streams.
Games and activities
Choose challenges, categories, turns, prizes or prompts with a wheel-style interaction.
Repeated draws
Remove each winner after a spin when every option should be selected at most once.
How the randomization works
The wheel animation is visual; the actual winning index is selected programmatically with RandomZone's browser-based random engine. Web Crypto is used as the source of randomness, while the animation presents the result in a wheel format.
Practical tips
- •Keep labels short so the option list stays easy to scan.
- •Use winner removal for elimination-style drawings.
- •For very large lists, a text-based picker may be faster than a wheel.
