About this game
Spinner Wheel is the tension-and-release moment every live session needs: a full-screen wheel of names, prizes, or questions that spins, slows, and lands on a winner in front of the entire room. Fair, dramatic, and impossible to fake, it turns a routine "who is next?" into a moment people actually watch.
How Spinner Wheel works
Spinner Wheel is a one-slide setup that runs live from the presenter view, nothing for your audience to install:
- Add the entries you want on the wheel: names, teams, prizes, prompts, or any list.
- Launch the slide and hit spin from the presenter view; the wheel starts spinning full-screen.
- The wheel decelerates and settles on the chosen entry with an unmistakable reveal moment.
- Remove the winner and spin again, or reset the full list in one click to run another round.
Best for
Any moment where the decision has to feel fair (and the reveal has to feel earned) is a Spinner Wheel moment:
- Teachers: random cold-call picker that feels neutral instead of pointed at one student.
- Corporate trainers: randomised breakout group assignments and unbiased volunteer selection.
- Event hosts: prize giveaways and door raffles that build up crowd anticipation live on stage.
- Marketers: branded prize wheels at trade show booths and giveaway moments in webinars.
Why teams love Spinner Wheel
Spinner Wheel earns its spot in every facilitator toolkit because the format itself does the heavy lifting:
- Removes bias: the wheel picks, not you, so the room accepts the outcome without pushback.
- Full-screen drama: the slow decel and reveal buy you a few seconds of shared attention.
- Any list works: student names, team names, discussion prompts, prizes, or your own custom entries.
- Runs on any device: the wheel spins the same on a projector, laptop, tablet, or phone screen.
Free to spin as many times as you want, and the fairest way to make a random call feel exciting.
