Random Wheel Spin's answer

Every entry can hold hidden activities, actions, questions, answers, or facts, ready to be revealed after the spin. Even images can be added both to the wheel entry and the hidden section. Most spinners only display a wheel entry. Random Wheel Spin displays the wheel entry but also has the "hidden information" underneath each wheel entry. This makes learning or presentations more engaging and interactive. An example might be a quiz wheel where the wheel entries are the questions but underneath each question will be the hidden information which could be the answer, or more facts about that entry.

Random Wheel Spin's answer

I saw my three young children trying to pick names using bits of paper. I decided to make a simple online solution to solve this. Half way through the development of the wheel I also found the wheel prototype had a calming effect on one of my daughters who has autism. She was extremely stressed and anxious one morning before school and I showed her the new wheel I was working on and it was like night and day - she immediately forgot her stresses and focused in on the wheel, spinning it over and over. She enjoyed the vocal speaking out loud of the selected results. Especially when she typed in our four cat names, adding funny words to describe one of our "larger" cats who she adores. She also really liked the shark facts wheel I created as she is very interested in sharks and it is a strong special interest of hers.

SpinWheelify's answer:

SpinWheelify began with the belief that randomness can be fun, transparent, and useful. We saw many tools that were either limited (few entries, paid features) or opaque (randomness not reliable). So we built a free, open, and highly customizable spin-the-wheel tool that anyone can use instantly — whether for class, contest, decision-making, or entertainment. Over time, feedback from users refined its features (image support, wheel saving, export/import, mobile responsiveness), always with the goal: make spinning fair, fun, and simple.
