How do I invite friends to a group?

Open the group from your dashboard and copy its invite link. Anyone who opens that link and signs in can join. Joining needs a free account, because the group has to know who its members are. There is no user search: people can only join a group they were given a link to.

Do my friends need an account?

To join a group, yes, because membership is tied to an account. The account is free and takes a moment to create. Everything else on SpinOfLuck, including the wheel itself, still works with no account at all.

What do other members see about me?

Only the display name on your account and the wheels and picks you share with the group. Your email address is never shown to other members. You can change your display name at any time from the dashboard.

Can everyone spin the same wheel at the same time?

A shared wheel is a copy each member loads onto their own device, and each spin is recorded to the group's picks. For a single wheel that everyone watches spin together in real time, use a multiplayer room instead; the two features work well side by side.

Who can remove people from a group?

The person who created the group can rename it, remove members and delete it. Every member can leave on their own. The owner cannot leave, so a group is never left without someone responsible for it; they delete it instead.

Does sharing a wheel change how it picks?

No. A shared wheel is spun on each member's own device using the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, with the winner chosen before the animation starts. Sharing only decides who can load the wheel and where the result is recorded.

Spin Wheel With Friends: Shared Wheels for Your Group

Some wheels belong to a group of people, not one person. The friends who can never agree on where to eat, the two teachers who share a class, the team that spins for who runs standup. SpinOfLuck groups give those people one shared place: create a group, send an invite link, and everyone in it can load the same wheels and see who was picked last time. There is no friend search and no friend requests. A group is invite-only, so the only people in it are the ones someone handed a link to. Groups are part of the free optional account; the wheel itself still works with no signup at all.

Why use this tool

Create a group in one click from your dashboard and name it anything
Invite by link: anyone who opens the link can join, and nobody can be found without one
Share any of your wheels with the group so everyone loads the same names and colors
Recent picks show who was chosen, on which wheel, and who spun it
Members see each other by the display name on their account, which they can change any time
Owners can rename the group, remove members, or delete it; members can leave whenever they like
Free, private to the group's members, and every spin is still cryptographically fair

Common uses

Where are we eating tonight?. Make a Dinner group, share a wheel of the places everyone is happy with, and let whoever is hungry first spin. The picks log settles the argument about whether it is really your turn to choose.
Two teachers, one class. Share the class wheel with your co-teacher. Either of you can load it on your own device, and the picks log shows who was already called on this week, whichever of you did the calling.
Family chore wheel. One group for the household, one wheel of chores. Each person spins on their own phone and the result is recorded for everyone, so there is no 'I never got picked' the next morning.
Who runs standup?. A team group with a wheel of names. Whoever arrives first spins, and the recent picks show at a glance who has run it recently.
Film night rotation. A wheel of everyone's suggestions, shared with the group. Spin, watch, and let the log keep score of whose pick came up.
Study group quiz turns. Share a wheel of topics or people. Anyone in the group can spin it, and everyone sees the same outcome in the picks list.

Invite links instead of a friend list

SpinOfLuck is a privacy-first tool, and a large part of its audience is classrooms. A social network layer, with profiles to search and requests to accept, would have pulled in exactly the problems that design avoids: strangers finding people, unsolicited requests, and a directory of names. So groups do not work that way.

A group is reached by its invite link and nothing else. If you have the link, you can join; if you do not, the group does not exist as far as you are concerned. That keeps groups useful for friends, families and teaching partners without turning a name-picker into a place where people can be looked up.

What a group actually shares

Three things. The list of members, shown by display name. Shared wheels, which are copies of a wheel's name, entries and colors that any member can load. And recent picks, a log of who was chosen on a shared wheel, on which wheel, and by which member.

Nothing else crosses over. Your own saved wheels, lists and spin history stay private to your account. A wheel you share is a copy, so later edits to your original do not change the group's version until you share it again.

Groups and multiplayer rooms are different tools

A multiplayer room is a live event: one wheel on the host's screen, and everyone watching the same spin at the same moment. It needs no account and lasts for the session.

A group is the opposite shape: a lasting set of people who spin on their own time, on their own devices, and want a shared memory of what happened. Use a room for the moment and a group for the people. The dinner group can still open a room on Friday night when everyone is in the same place.

How to use spin wheel with friends

Create a group. Sign in, open your dashboard and press New group under Groups. Give it a name such as Dinner, Room 12 or Backend team.
Send the invite link. On the group page, press Copy next to the invite link and send it to the people you spin with. They open it, sign in, and press Join.
Share a wheel. Pick one of your wheels from the Share menu on the group page. Its names and colors become available to everyone in the group.
Spin and check the picks. Press Use on a shared wheel to load it and spin. The result appears under Recent picks for the whole group, with who spun and when.
