About this wheel

Why a digital spin-the-wheel beats a physical one

Physical spin-the-wheel games (the carnival-style ones with a clicker tab) are great theatre but limited: fixed slices, fixed prizes, fixed location. A digital wheel inherits all the theatre — the slow deceleration, the satisfying click as it lands — and adds (a) infinite slice customization, (b) save/reuse for recurring games, (c) shareability across devices, (d) cryptographically fair randomness, and (e) zero physical setup.

The physics of the digital wheel are tuned to feel like the physical one: an exponential decay curve, slight variance in spin duration, a tick sound for each slice as it passes the pointer. Most users don't notice the careful detail until they use a wheel that doesn't have it — most online wheel-spinners feel 'off' because they use linear deceleration or no audio feedback.

Spin the wheel patterns

Names mode: classic wheel-of-names. Each slice is a person; the spin picks one. Used for cold-calling, raffles, picking who-goes-next.

Prompts mode: each slice is an action ('Sing', 'Dance', 'Tell a joke'). Used for parties, icebreakers, truth-or-dare variants.

Prizes mode: each slice is a reward ('+10 points', 'Lose a turn', 'Free dessert'). Used for Wheel-of-Fortune-style game shows and kids' birthday parties.

Decisions mode: each slice is an option ('Pizza', 'Sushi', 'Thai'). Used to break ties when group chats won't converge.

Switch between modes by saving them as separate wheels — the underlying engine is the same, only the slice contents differ.

Multiplayer tips for live games

Hosting a multiplayer wheel for a remote game night: click 'Host room', share the URL in your group chat, and ask friends to open it. Their wheels sync to yours — when you spin, they spin in real time. Useful for game nights over Zoom, Discord, or just 'I'll text you the link'.

Only the host can spin in multiplayer. This prevents the chaos of 'who hit the button first' and ensures all viewers see the same starting frame. The host can transfer or end the room at any time.
