Spin the Wheel

Build Your Own
Spin Wheel

Add any options — names, prizes, choices — and spin. This is the classic "wheel of names" idea, fully custom, running smoothly in your browser.

How it works

1

Add your options

Add anything — names for a wheel of names, prizes for a giveaway, chores, movie picks. Type each option on its own line and the wheel redraws itself instantly.

2

Press spin

The engine picks a random winner first, then the wheel spins smoothly on the GPU using CSS transforms — no jank on mobile.

3

Read the result

The wheel decelerates and stops on the winner. The animation is the reveal only — the outcome was decided fairly and randomly first.

Frequently asked questions

What is spin the wheel used for?

Any random pick between two or more options: choosing a name from a list (a classic "wheel of names"), picking a prize, deciding who goes first, or having fun with a group.

Is the spin fair and truly random?

Yes. The winning segment is decided first by an unbiased random pick, and the wheel simply lands on it. The animation only reveals the outcome — it does not influence the result.

How many options can the wheel hold?

As few as two and up to thirty. For very long lists the labels shrink to fit, so keep entries short for the best look.

Can I use it like a wheel of names?

Absolutely. Type the names into the list and spin — it works exactly like a names wheel. It just isn't limited to names: any text options work.

Do you collect anything I type?

Nothing. There's no backend for this tool to send data to even if it wanted to — it's pure browser logic, start to finish.
