A random name wheel for any group
A random name wheel takes the arguing out of small decisions. Type the names of everyone involved, spin once, and the pick is made in front of the whole group, so nobody can say it was rigged. Teachers use it to call on students, which is why the name wheel keeps a class list ready for every lesson. Office teams use it as a name spinner to choose who speaks first at stand-up or who takes the notes.
For prizes, the raffle picker handles one entry per ticket, and the contest winner picker helps you run a giveaway people trust, from importing entrants to sharing proof of the result. Many people keep several wheels of names, one per class, team or event, and switch between them with their saved links. On a phone, add the spin wheel app to your home screen so your wheels open in one tap, even offline. Whichever you use, every name gets exactly the same chance on every spin.
