Spin the Wheel – Free Random Picker
Spin Wheelhouse is a free online wheel spinner and random picker. Add names, numbers, prizes or any options, spin the wheel, and get a fair random result in seconds.
What Is a Spin Wheel?
A spin the wheel tool (also called a wheel spinner, wheel of names or random picker wheel) chooses one option at random from a list. Each entry becomes a slice of the wheel, and the slice that stops under the pointer is the result.
Because everyone can watch the wheel spin, the result is easy to trust. That makes a spin wheel a popular choice for classrooms, giveaways, live streams, party games and everyday decisions.
Every spin on Spin Wheelhouse is decided by your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator before the wheel starts moving. Each entry has the same chance unless you give it a bigger slice, and the animation shows the result without changing it.
The wheel runs in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, with no app to install and no account to create. Your entries and settings are saved on your device.

Is the wheel spinner really random?
Yes. Each result is chosen by your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, and every entry has an equal chance unless you give it a bigger slice. You can test it yourself in the randomness audit.

How do I remove a name after it is picked?

How many entries can the wheel hold?
There is no limit. Labels are easiest to read with up to about 50 entries, and every entry has the same chance however many you add.
