Wheel of names

Wheel of Names: pick a random name in one spin

Type in a list of names — students, employees, friends, raffle entrants — and let the wheel of names pick one at random, fairly and instantly.

Why use a wheel of names

Picking a name by hand invites bias — even unintentionally. A wheel of names gives every entry an equal, visible, provably random chance, and turns a boring decision into a moment people actually enjoy watching.

Common uses

  • Teachers calling on a random student fairly
  • Streamers picking a giveaway winner live on camera
  • Team leads assigning who presents next or takes a task
  • Families and friend groups settling an argument

Frequently asked questions

Is the wheel of names really random?

Yes. Each spin uses your device's random number generator to land on a name, so every entry has a fair chance unless you set custom odds.

Can I add more than 20 names?

Yes, the wheel supports as many names as you want to type in — it automatically resizes the segments to fit.

Can I remove a name after it's picked?

Yes, turn on "remove after spin" in the full wheel builder so winners drop out of future spins automatically.
