How it works
Let the wheel decide
Type your options on the right, one per line, and press Spin. The wheel turns for a few seconds and stops on the winner. The result is picked fairly before the wheel starts, so the animation is just for fun: fast fingers or a second tap can’t change it.
Ideas for spinning
- Classroom: pick who answers next, choose a topic or a reading.
- Decisions: dinner, a film, the next game or where to go this weekend.
- Giveaways: spin between participants’ names on a livestream.
- Teams and chores: remove each winner to build an order or a rota.
Need several names at once or random teams? The random name picker does that in one click.

Frequently asked questions
Is the wheel fair?
Yes. The winner is chosen with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator before the wheel starts turning, with every entry equally likely. The animation then stops on that entry. Where it lands inside the slice is random too, so it looks natural.
How do I add my own entries?
Type or paste them into the box, one per line. A single line separated by commas works as well. The wheel updates as you type and holds up to 100 entries.
Can I remove the winner before the next spin?
Yes. After a spin, press "Remove" next to the result to take that entry off the wheel. That’s handy for choosing an order, or for making sure everyone gets a turn.
How do I share or save my wheel?
Press "Copy link". The entries are stored in the link itself, after the # sign, so anyone who opens it sees the same wheel. That part of a link is never sent to a server, and TickPickr doesn’t store your entries.
Can I use it in class or on a stream?
Of course. It works on any screen size, and the Spin button in the middle of the wheel is easy to hit on a smartboard or projector.
