Wheel of Names is a free online spinning wheel that turns any list into a random pick. Whether you need a random name picker for your classroom, a fair way to draw a raffle winner, or just help making a decision, everything happens right here on this page - no account and no app required.
Type or paste names, tasks, or options into the text box - one item per line. The wheel rebuilds itself instantly as you type, so you can see every slice before you spin.
Click directly on the wheel or press Start Spinning. Prefer a different feel? Switch the rotation direction between clockwise and counter-clockwise before you go.
The wheel slows down and the pointer lands on a random winner, celebrated with confetti. Press Remove Winner to take that entry off the wheel so it cannot win twice.
Teachers use the wheel to call on students fairly, assign presentation order, or pick who answers the next question. A visible, random draw keeps everyone engaged and removes any sense of favoritism.
Try a classroom name picker →Running a giveaway in a livestream, community, or shop? Paste the list of participants, spin once in front of everyone, and you have a transparent winner people can trust.
Pick who goes first in a stand-up, choose a fun warm-up activity, or let the wheel decide the next game. It turns a dull "who volunteers?" moment into something people actually enjoy.
Browse icebreaker questions →Cannot decide what to eat, which task to tackle first, or where to go this weekend? Put the options on the wheel, spin, and let fate pick - a small trick that genuinely helps indecisive moments.
Spin a decision wheel →A spinning wheel does two things a mental coin flip cannot: it is visibly random, and it is fun to watch. When a group of people sees the wheel slow down and stop on a name, the result feels earned rather than chosen. That is why teachers, streamers, and team leads keep coming back to it for picks that need to feel fair.
Ready-made wheels are a quick way to get started - spin one of the templates from the gallery below, replace the entries with your own, and you have a custom wheel in under a minute.
