Why a digital bottle
Real bottles wobble, roll off the table, and stop between two people. A digital bottle always points at exactly one player, records who was picked, and can be spun from a phone in the middle of the group. It also works when players are on a video call rather than in one room.
Ways to play
- Party classic — the player it lands on answers a dare or a question.
- Truth or dare — pair it with our ready-made truth or dare wheel.
- Turn order — spin to see who plays first in a board game.
- Classroom — a fair, visible way to choose who answers next.
- Chores — let the bottle settle who takes out the bins.
Keeping it fair
Because each spin is independent, the same person can be picked twice in a row — that is what real randomness looks like. If you would rather nobody repeats until everyone has had a turn, use the picker wheel in elimination mode instead.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the online spin the bottle game work?
- Add everyone's name around the circle and press spin. The winner is picked with your browser's cryptographic random generator first, then the bottle rotates and stops pointing at that person.
- How many players can join?
- Up to sixteen names fit around the table, and you can add or remove players between spins without losing your history.
- Is the bottle spin random?
- Yes. Every player has exactly the same chance on every spin, regardless of where they sit or who was picked last.
- Can I use it for games other than the party classic?
- Yes. It works as a neutral turn picker for board games, classroom questions, chores, or deciding who goes first.
- Does it need an app or an account?
- No. It runs in any browser on phone, tablet or desktop, and can be installed to your home screen if you want an app icon.
- 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.
