Spin the Wheel

This free spin the wheel tool gives you a fast, fair way to make a random choice from any list of options, whether you are picking a name in class, settling a dinner debate, assigning tasks, or drawing a prize winner. Type your options into the text box on the right, one per line, using anywhere from 2 up to 20 entries, then press Spin or simply click the wheel itself. Each option appears as its own coloured segment, and the wheel spins with a realistic deceleration animation and a ticking sound as it slows, before landing on a winner that is displayed in large text underneath. The outcome is decided the moment you spin, using a random number generator, so the animation is just for show and cannot be influenced or predicted. Every option carries an equal chance of being picked unless you list one more than once, which increases its odds relative to the rest, useful if you want to weight the result toward a particular choice. Use Reset Defaults at any time to clear your list back to the placeholder options and start again. The wheel works on phones, tablets, and desktops, and responds to both taps and clicks. It suits classroom activities, team meetings, games nights, and social media giveaways alike, anywhere you need a genuinely random and unbiased decision made in seconds.
