Custom wheel: make it, spin it, settle it

The custom wheel is the blank canvas: type anything, from takeout options to chore lists to your draft order, give every entry a slice, and one spin picks the winner at provably equal chances. Up to 52 slices, saved in your browser, replayable from the share link. No signup, ever.

Anything can win. That's the deal.

  • Pizza night
  • Movie marathon
  • Board games
  • Go for a walk
  • Call a friend
  • Early night

How do you make a custom spin wheel?

Type an option, press Add, repeat: every entry becomes a slice with an exactly equal chance, up to 52 of them, a full deck. The × on any chip removes it, the quick fills drop in ready-made lists, and Wheel settings holds the rest: five wheel styles, ten color themes, spin speeds from quick to dramatic, sounds, and the remove-the-winner toggle. That's the whole recipe for making your own spin wheel; there is no step two, no account, and nothing to install.

Your list saves itself in your browser as you edit, so the wheel you build tonight is still loaded tomorrow, on the same device, without a login.

What can a decision wheel decide?

Anything you can type in 40 characters, which is why a custom decision wheel ends up settling half the household's questions. The jobs we see most:

  • Dinner: every takeout option gets a slice, the wheel eats the debate
  • Turn order: game night, chores, who presents first (spin with remove-after-pick for a full order)
  • Giveaways: for prize draws with receipts, the [raffle wheel](/wheel/raffle) runs this engine with winners auto-removed
  • Classrooms: the [student picker](/wheel/student-picker) is the teacher-tuned version
  • Names you already have: the [wheel of names](/wheel/name-picker) is the same fairness pointed at your own list
  • Weekend plans, workout picks, playlist order, which errand happens first: if it fits on a slice, it spins

Is the custom wheel actually fair?

Yes, and verifiably: every slice is the same size, the winning seed comes from crypto.getRandomValues (your browser's cryptographic randomness), and there is no weighting feature at all, so nobody can quietly tilt the odds. Want a genuine 2-to-1 lean? Add the option twice, on the wheel, where everyone can count the slices. The full explanation lives on the fairness page, and every result's share link replays the identical spin as proof.

Can you save and share a custom wheel?

Two ways, no account needed. Your list lives in the browser automatically, and the share link after a spin carries the entire wheel inside the URL: options, winner, and seed, so whoever opens it sees your exact wheel land on your exact result, then spins it themselves. Running a website or a classroom page? The free embeddable wheel drops a mini version into any site with one copy-paste snippet.

Fair questions

How many options can the custom wheel hold?
52, a full deck of cards. Labels shrink in steps as the wheel fills but always render whole. For bigger pools, run heats: split the list across wheels, spin each, then spin a final of the winners.
Is the custom spin wheel free, with no signup?
Completely: all 52 slices, every theme, speed, sound, quick fill, and replay link, free with no account, no watermark, and no premium tier.
Is my wheel saved for next time?
Yes, on your device: the list persists in your browser's local storage, so closing the tab loses nothing. It never leaves the device unless you share a link, and the link itself carries the list.
Can I make the wheel favor one option?
There is no hidden weighting, on purpose: equal chances are the whole promise. If you honestly want a lean, add the option twice, visibly, where everyone can count the slices.
Can I put this wheel on my own website?
Yes: the embed page gives you a self-contained mini wheel and a copy-paste snippet. It loads instantly and links back here for the full settings.
What's the difference between this and the wheel of names?
Same engine, different canvas: the wheel of names is tuned for picking one person from a list of names; the custom wheel takes anything, dinner, plans, numbers, forfeits, in any mix.

Every spin here is decided by a cryptographic random seed drawn from a browser API defined by a public standard. The specification behind that fairness claim is below, so it can be checked rather than taken on trust.

The getRandomValues method generates cryptographically strong random values.
