Spin the Wheel — Private & Offline Random Picker
Add your items, spin the colorful wheel, and let randomness decide. Perfect for giveaways, classroom activities, and decision making. Runs entirely in your browser — your data never leaves your device.
How the Spin Wheel Works
This random wheel picker uses your browser's built-in random number generator to select a winner. You enter your items (names, options, prizes, or anything else), and the wheel divides into equal colored segments. When you click Spin, the wheel animates with realistic deceleration physics and lands on a random item. The result is cryptographically fair since it relies on the browser's Math.random() function.
Use Cases
Classroom: Pick a student to answer a question
Giveaways: Select a random winner from entries
Decisions: Can't decide where to eat? Let the wheel choose
Games: Add game actions for party fun
Privacy and Data Storage
Your items are saved in your browser's localStorage so they persist between visits on the same device. No data is ever sent to any server. You can clear your items at any time by emptying the text area and clicking Update. This makes the tool ideal for situations where the item list might contain sensitive information like student names or confidential options.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Wheel
For classroom settings, add all student names and project the wheel on a big screen for the whole class to watch the spin. For decision-making, add your lunch options, weekend activities, or movie choices and let the wheel settle debates. For party games, add challenges, dares, or trivia categories to create an interactive game night experience. The wheel works best with 4 to 12 items, where each segment is large enough to read clearly. For larger lists with more than 20 items, consider using the Random Name Picker tool instead, which handles long lists more effectively.
