A name wheel everyone can see
The reason a spinning wheel of names beats picking out of a hat on a shared screen is that the whole group watches the same draw. Every name is visible, every slice is the same size, and the result is obvious the moment the pointer stops.
Common ways people use it
- Classrooms — a random name picker for who answers next.
- Giveaways — draw a winner from entrants on stream or on a call.
- Standups — decide who speaks first without the awkward pause.
- Teams — use the team generator to split the same list into groups.
- Chores and turns — a neutral randomiser nobody can argue with.
Weights, elimination and saved wheels
Give a name a higher weight and it takes a bigger share of the wheel — useful for raffles where extra tickets should count. Elimination mode removes each winner so you can draw an entire class in order. Saved wheels keep your regular lists in this browser, ready for next time.
