Valentine's wheel games: how to play
1. Date idea draw
Load "Date ideas". Each of you removes one idea you really don't fancy, then add one secret idea each. Spin once. The rule is simple: the wheel's pick happens, and if it lands on one of the secret ideas, its author plans it. Save the wheel and spin again for next month's date.
2. Questions for two
Load "Questions for two" and turn on elimination mode. Take turns spinning; whoever spins answers first, then the other person answers the same question. No skipping, but you can ask one follow-up question each.
3. Galentine's night
Load "Galentine's games" and spin for each round. For "Who's most likely to", the spinner reads a prompt and everyone points at the same time; the person with the most fingers pointed at them spins next.
4. Classroom card swap
Put every student's name on the wheel with elimination mode on. Each child spins and makes a card for the classmate the wheel picks, so everyone makes one card and receives one, and nobody is left out. Keep the spins visible so the class sees it is fair.
5. Kindness challenge week
For the week before February 14, spin once a day for a kind act: leave a note, make breakfast, send a photo from your first year together. With kids, use the "Classroom activities" list instead.

Valentine's Day 2027 is Sunday, February 14. Galentine's Day is usually celebrated the day before, Saturday, February 13.
How do I use the wheel to pick a date idea?
Load the "Date ideas" list, remove anything you don't want, add your own ideas and spin once. The idea the wheel lands on is your date.
Can I use it for a classroom Valentine's card swap?
Yes. Add every student's name, turn on elimination mode and let each child spin once. Everyone makes exactly one card and receives exactly one.
How do I keep a secret valentine secret?
A wheel shows the result to everyone watching, so for secret pairings use the Secret Santa generator, which draws names privately.
Can I save my wheel?

Is it random?
Yes. Each spin uses a cryptographically secure random number generator, so every entry has the same chance.
