Wheel of Names — Pick a Random Name
Paste your class list, team roster, or giveaway entries. Spin. Someone wins.
Wheel of Names for teachers and streamers
Wheel of Names is the classroom-friendly variant of our wheel spinner. Type or paste a list — one name per line — and spin to pick someone fairly. Teachers love it for cold-calls, quiz-show style games, and picking who reads next.
For live streams, drop your subscriber names or giveaway entries into the textarea, share your screen, and let the wheel decide. The four-second decelerating spin builds tension your chat will react to, and the ticket-stub winner card makes screenshots pop.
Need to draw multiple winners? Enable 'Remove winner (raffle mode)' — each pick is deleted from the list automatically. Perfect for prize draws, elimination games, or 'pick five kids for a group.'
Prefer no visual wheel? Try the Name Picker for a fast slot-machine style reveal, or the Team Generator to split everyone into fair groups at once.
