    Name Wheel — Pick a Random Name about

    A name wheel is a fun way to pick a random person from a list in front of everyone. Teachers use it to give turns, streamers to run giveaways and groups of friends to decide turns.

    How do you set up a name wheel?

    1. Write the names in a column or paste them in bulk from a list.
    2. Spin the wheel; the selected name is shown in large type.
    3. To pick everyone once, turn on “remove winner” and spin until the list is empty.

    Using it in class

    Opening the wheel on a projector and adding students' names shares out turns fairly and gives the lesson a game feel. If you want to split into groups, the Random Team Generator is faster.

    Using it for giveaways

    You can copy the usernames from Instagram comments and paste them into the wheel. Running the giveaway live makes participants trust the result.

    FAQ

    Name Wheel — Pick a Random Name — what people ask

    Is the name wheel fair?

    Yes; the winner is chosen with a secure random number and every name has an equal chance.

    Can the same name come up twice?

    Not if “remove winner” is on; if it's off, the same name can be picked again.

    Can I save my list?

    The list is stored in your browser; when you reopen the page, the names are still there.

    How many options can I add?

    Up to 100 options. With many options the text gets smaller; 2–30 gives the most readable view.

    Is my list saved?

    Your options are stored only in your own browser; they come back when you refresh the page. Nothing is sent to the server.

    Can the same option come up again?

    Yes, every option has an equal chance on each spin. If you don't want repeats, turn on “Remove winner automatically”.
