Who goes first?
Whoever goes first in a game has a real advantage, which is why the argument about it lasts longer than the game. The wheel removes the negotiation entirely: one spin, no appeals, everyone watches the same result.

Options on this wheel
When this wheel helps
- Starting a board game and nobody wants to be the one who's "already won" the coin toss
- Splitting into teams and you need a fair order for picking players
- Running a classroom activity and want a neutral way to call on someone
- Any turn-based situation where the order matters more than people admit
Getting a useful answer
For more than four players, add everyone's name so each person can see their own entry on the wheel.
For team selection, spin once per team rather than trying to draw a full order in one go.
If you're picking a single person from a large group, re-spin after each pick and remove the winner so nobody is chosen twice.

Questions about this wheel
Is this genuinely random?
Yes. Every spin picks independently, so a previous result has no effect on the next one. Getting the same person twice in a row is a normal outcome, not a bug.
How many names can the wheel hold?
It comfortably handles a classroom or a party. Past about fifteen entries the labels get tight on a phone, so for large groups it's clearer to spin in rounds and remove each winner.
Can I use it for team picking?
Yes. Put everyone on the wheel, spin for the first captain, remove them, then spin for the next. Repeat until the teams are set.
Does it work for deciding an order rather than a single person?
It picks one entry per spin. For a full running order, spin, remove the winner, and repeat. That gives you a fair sequence with no repeats.
