Give the room a moment to watch

At an event, the draw is part of the experience. A visible wheel creates anticipation while it picks an activity, challenge, order, or prize, and fullscreen mode makes the result easy to follow across the room.

Set the entries before guests arrive, test the wheel once, and share the same setup with organizers through a link. No-repeat and remove-winner modes help keep activities or prizes from being selected twice.

Getting a useful result

How to use these tools well

Set it up before guests arrive

Build the entries the day before and run a test spin. Check the longest name still reads from the back, use custom colours so neighbouring segments are not the same shade, and add emoji entries where a prize or activity is easier to spot as a picture than as text. Learn that the spacebar starts a spin, which beats hunting for a small button while holding a microphone. Save the setup locally on the device you will present from, and share the link with whoever else is running the room.

Remove what has already gone

A prize wheel that can hand out the same prize twice will eventually do it, usually in front of everyone. Turn on no-repeat or elimination so each result leaves the pool as it is drawn, and the wheel visibly shrinks as the evening goes on, which builds anticipation by itself. The party game wheel works the same way across a night of activities. Spin history tells you what has already come up when the running order gets confused, and you can add a late entry or delete a cancelled activity between spins.

Let the room see the draw

Read the entry list out before the first spin and say what the result decides. A wheel holds attention because everyone can follow it, and that only works if the audience knows what is on it and that nothing changed halfway through. Hand a spin to a guest rather than doing all of them yourself. Keep it to one spin per decision: going again until a popular name comes up is obvious from the back of the room, and it costs you the neutrality the wheel was there to provide.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Will it work on a phone and a big screen?

The same wheel opens in any browser, so you can build it on a phone during setup and run it from the machine wired to the screen. Save it locally on the device you will present from, or send yourself the link, and test one spin on that screen before the room fills. Entries can still be edited between spins if plans change.

Can two hosts use the same wheel?

Share the link and each person opens their own copy with the same entries. There is no account and nothing syncs, so changes made after sharing do not travel between copies. Agree the final list first, then send the link. It is worth having a second person set up on their own device in case the main machine is needed for something else.

How random is the prize draw?

The winning segment is picked by the browser's cryptographic random number generator and is fixed before the animation begins, so the spin is a reveal rather than the draw itself. Segment size only changes anything if you set weighted odds deliberately, and the live probability next to each entry shows exactly what those weights are doing.
