What Is SnapHQ’s Free Spin the Wheel Tool?
SnapHQ’s free Spin the Wheel tool is a random decision-maker and name picker that works instantly in your browser. Add your options, spin the wheel, and get a fair, random result every time. No sign-up, no download, no limits on spins. Used by teachers, streamers, friends, and businesses worldwide for random selection, giveaways, and decision making.
How to Use Spin the Wheel
Add your entries — type options one at a time in the entry box and click + to add them to the wheel. The wheel automatically resizes segments to fit your entries. You can add up to 100 entries.
Or load a preset — choose from 20+ ready-made wheels in the preset library: Yes or No, What to Eat, Days of the Week, Truth or Dare, Random Color, School Subjects, Solar System, Streamer Rewards, and many more.
Spin — click the SPIN button in the center of the wheel, or click anywhere on the wheel itself. The wheel spins with realistic physics, decelerates naturally, and lands on a random winner.
See your result — the winning entry is announced in the result panel below the wheel with a sound effect and confetti. Every result is also recorded in the Spin History.
Key Features
Elimination Mode — the winning entry is automatically removed from the wheel after each spin. Useful for teachers picking students one at a time, tournament brackets, or any situation where you need to work through a list without repeats.
Streamer Mode — click Streamer Mode in the header for a fullscreen experience on a pure black background. Designed to work as an OBS browser source overlay for Twitch and YouTube streaming. The transparent background means the spinning wheel overlays directly on your stream.
Sound effects — a satisfying tick sound plays as the wheel spins, synchronized with the wheel’s speed. A multi-layered game-show style fanfare plays when the wheel lands.
Spin history — every result from the session is recorded in the history panel. See all previous results at a glance.
Share your wheel — click Copy Share Link to encode your entries in a URL. Anyone with the link sees your exact wheel, ready to spin. No account needed on either end.
Spin Duration control — adjust how long the wheel spins before stopping with the speed slider in settings.
20+ Preset Wheels
The preset library organizes wheels into five categories:
Fun & Games — Yes or No, Truth or Dare, Random Color, Would You Rather, Lucky Numbers, Movie Genres, Random Country, Pick a Sport.

Who Uses Spin the Wheel?
Teachers and educators — randomly selecting students to answer questions, choosing topics for discussion, assigning classroom tasks, and running vocabulary review games. Elimination mode ensures every student gets called before anyone is repeated.
Streamers on Twitch and YouTube — running viewer giveaways, spinning for challenges, deciding what game to play next, and entertainment content for audiences. Streamer mode integrates directly as an OBS overlay with no background.
Friends and families — settling the endless “what should we eat tonight?” debate, deciding who pays, choosing a movie, or assigning household chores fairly.
Event organizers — running raffle draws, selecting prize winners, organizing tournament brackets, and decision-making at events.
Coaches and team leaders — randomly assigning teams, drills, practice partners, and training exercises.
Businesses — picking names for recognition awards, selecting focus groups, choosing topics for team meetings.
Is the Spin Truly Random?
Yes. SnapHQ uses a cryptographically random spin duration combined with a random deceleration curve. The total spin distance is generated using secure random number generation — not the predictable
Math.random()used by many simpler tools.Every entry has an equal probability of winning on each spin. The wheel doesn’t remember previous results (unless you use Elimination Mode intentionally). The outcome of each spin is statistically independent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add my own custom entries? Yes — type any text in the entry box and click + to add it to the wheel. Edit or remove entries at any time.
How many entries can I add? Up to 100 entries. The wheel automatically adjusts segment sizes. For best visual results, 2–30 entries works best.
Can I save my wheel for later? Use the Share Link feature — it encodes all your entries in a URL that you can bookmark or share. Open the link again and your wheel is ready.
Does Streamer Mode work on mobile? Streamer Mode is optimized for desktop OBS use. The regular wheel works fully on mobile.
Can the same entry win twice in a row? On standard spins, yes — each spin is independent. Turn on Elimination Mode to prevent this.
