How to use Spinner
Spinner is a random picker wheel with a twist: write your choices on a 3D board, spin it and throw a dart to pick one. It runs free in your browser with nothing to install and no account to create.
Open the spinnerHow it works
- Press Edit and type one choice per line (up to 50 choices, 99 characters each). You can also start from a sample list such as numbers, weekdays, cuisines or travel destinations.
- Press OK, then Start. The board begins to spin.
- Once the board is spinning at full speed, press Throw. The choice where the dart sticks is the result.
- After the result appears, tap the screen to switch between a close-up of the dart and a straight-on view. Try Again throws once more with the same choices. Turn on Remove picked item above it to take the picked choice off the board first.
Ideas for using it
Random name picker
Enter names and turn on Remove picked item to pick people one by one without repeats: who goes first, who presents next or who gets which seat.
Chores and duties
Assign cleaning duty, meeting notes or the next round of coffee without arguing about it.
What to eat
Can’t decide on lunch or dinner? List a few dishes or restaurants and let the dart choose.
Classrooms and games
Put student numbers on the board to call on someone fairly. It works well on a projector.
Streams and events
Draw giveaway winners, pick a penalty or choose the next game live in front of your audience.
Trips and days out
List the places you want to visit and let the dart pick your next destination.
Why you can’t aim for a choice
Every choice gets an equal share of the board, so each one has the same chance of being picked.
The result is decided at random the moment you throw. However you time your press, you can’t aim for a particular choice.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free and needs no sign-up or login. Just open the page and start.
Does it work on phones?
Yes, it works in mobile browsers on iPhone and Android. It draws the board with WebGL, so use a recent version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
Where are my choices stored?
Only in your own browser, so they come back the next time you open the page. The text of your choices is never sent anywhere.
How many choices can I enter?
From 1 to 50. Each choice can be up to 99 characters. Blank lines are ignored.
Can I make one choice more likely?
Write the same choice on two lines. It then gets two slices and twice the chance of being picked.
Is there sound?
A drum roll plays while the board spins. Sound starts off each time, so turn it on with the speaker button at the top right.
