A country wheel for lessons and trivia

Choosing a country at random turns a passive lesson into a task. Spin, then give the class three minutes to find the capital, the flag and one fact nobody in the room knew. The continent filters keep the draw relevant to whatever region you are studying.

Travel and bucket lists

If you are planning a trip and the shortlist has stalled, delete every country you would not actually visit and spin what is left. A wheel of five realistic options is far more useful than a wheel of two hundred, and weighting lets you nudge the odds toward the trip you can afford this year.

Other ways people use it

  • Picking a country for a cooking or language challenge
  • Assigning countries for a model UN or class project
  • Choosing a nation to support in a tournament
  • Generating prompts for geography quizzes
  • Randomising a football or trivia draw

Frequently asked questions

Does the wheel include every country?
No — it uses a readable selection per continent so slices stay legible. Add any country you need to the options list and it joins the draw.
Can I filter by continent?
Yes. The continent buttons rebuild the wheel with countries from that region only.
Can I add flags?
You can paste a flag emoji in front of a country name and it will show on the slice.
Is it suitable for classrooms?
Yes. It runs in the browser with no sign-up, and full-screen mode works well on a projector or whiteboard.
Can I change the colours of the wheel?
Yes. Tap the palette button at the top-right of the wheel to pick from nine themes — Classic, Rainbow, Candy, Neon, Ocean, Jungle, Sunset, Pastel and Birthday — or choose Default to restore the wheel's own colours. Spin the Bottle and Coin Toss have their own style menus for bottle designs and coin finishes.
Is my wheel theme saved?
Yes. Your chosen theme is stored in your browser and applied automatically to every wheel on the site on your next visit. The menu closes as soon as you pick a theme, and nothing is uploaded or tied to an account.
