go spin it · a fair draw with proper drama

Type the Choices. Spin the Wheel.

Names, lunch spots, chores, anything — one per line, then spin. The winner is drawn fairly; the wheel just makes it official.

6 entries loaded · draw happens the instant you press spin

Tip: Pizza *3 gives pizza a slice three times wider — the wheel shows the real odds next to it.

The fairness contract: when you press spin, the winner is drawn immediately by crypto.getRandomValues — the same random source browsers use for cryptography. The five seconds of spinning that follow are pure theatre easing toward that already-decided result. Most spinner sites won't tell you this; we think saying it out loud is exactly what makes the wheel trustworthy enough for classrooms and giveaways.

Straight answers

Is it actually random?

The draw uses crypto.getRandomValues at the moment you click — cryptographic-grade, not Math.random(). The animation is presentation, not the mechanism, and we print that under the wheel. Weighted entries change odds exactly as labelled.

Can I get the same wheel back tomorrow?

Save it on-device (named, no account) or bookmark the wheel link — the entire wheel is encoded in the URL, which is also how you send it to someone else's smartboard.

What's the biggest wheel it can draw?

Hundreds of entries spin fine; past about sixty slices the labels thin out so the wheel stays readable, and the winner card carries the full name regardless. For five hundred kids, honestly, use the name picker — same fairness, no squinting.

Why no ads?

Half this wheel's life is projected in front of classrooms. Ad networks and smartboards are a combination we'd rather not be responsible for, and the site costs almost nothing to run. The core stays free and clean.

Does it need internet?

Only for the first visit. It installs as an app and runs offline afterward — school wifi outages included.
