3. What are hidden activities and actions and how do I add them?

This is a unique feature of Random Wheel Spin that allows you to store hidden activities, actions, or questions behind each wheel entry. Instead of just showing the chosen entry (like most spinners), the wheel can reveal additional instructions or surprises after the spin. To access this option click the Add Names button and toggle the Add Hidden Activities & Actions option to on.

This feature can transform learning and presentations, making the process more interactive by keeping users engaged and motivated. It turns a simple spin into a two-step process.

Examples:

• In education: A teacher might put student names on the wheel and link hidden questions or challenges behind each name.
• In workplace presentations: A team member might spin for project topics, and each topic reveals hidden discussion points or action items.

5. Can I save, share, or embed my spinner wheel?

Yes!

• Save: To save a wheel to your hard drive click the   Save Wheel icon. This is beneficial if you want to create lots of different types of wheels. The saved file is stored on your computer's hard drive. No data is saved on our servers.
