What this tool is built for
Spin a wheel of names or choices online. Add your own entries and hide selected options to work through a list.
The available controls include: Custom names or options with preset lists; Visual wheel with a selected-result history; Hide a selected item and continue with the remaining entries; Restore hidden entries for a fresh round.
For a quick result, you can use the tool directly on this page. If you need to run an activity with other people, create an account and use the dashboard to create and manage a shared room.
How to use it
Set up only the options you need, run the tool, then review the result and history before starting another round.
Add your own options or use a preset list.
Spin the wheel and let the selected segment settle under the pointer.
Hide winners or restore the full list when a new round starts.
What you can do
The page combines the core tool with controls that are specific to this task rather than a generic randomizer interface.

Where it works well
The best setup depends on whether you need a single local result or a shared activity that other people can follow.
Classroom: enter pupil names and hide each selected name before the next turn.
Dinner: enter three dishes and spin to choose what to cook.
Everyday decisions: reduce small choices to a clear list and let the tool choose from the options you entered.
Classroom: choose pupils, create exercises, split groups or make turn-taking visible to everyone.
Meetings and workshops: assign order, teams, tasks or timeboxes without stopping the session to organize them manually.
Task allocation: randomize or distribute a list when several people need a fair starting order.
How the result is produced
Shared-session actions depend on participant permissions. A viewing link does not give everyone host controls.
Shared rooms add a controlled group workflow: the organizer can choose access rules, add participants or let them enter themselves, share a room link, and invite people by email. What participants can see or control depends on the room settings and their role.
Capabilities and limits
Use the tool for games, lessons, workshops and everyday organization. It is not intended to replace certified draws, regulated records, medical timing or other contexts that require an audited or authoritative system.
Practical tips
- Name entries clearly before starting so participants can understand the result without extra explanation.
- Check the important settings before sharing a room; viewers may not have the same controls as the organizer.
- Use history or exported results when the tool provides them instead of relying on screenshots alone.
