Magic 8 Ball Wheel by Random Wheel Spin

Updated: June 18, 2025

What is the Magic 8 Ball Wheel?

The Magic 8 Ball Wheel is a playful spin on the classic decision-making toy. It randomly selects a fortune-style answer such as "Yes," "No," or "Ask again later," helping you make light-hearted decisions instantly. If you're unsure about a choice, need a conversation starter, or simply want to have fun, this wheel is here to guide you.

Like a traditional wheel of names or random name picker, this wheel operates on fairness and chance. It's perfect for classrooms, online games, virtual parties, or just passing time. Because it’s completely customizable, you can modify responses, add emojis, or create your own themed answers.

Teachers can also adapt the Magic 8 Ball Wheel as a classroom engagement tool. It’s a unique digital fidget, randomizer wheel, and decision helper all in one. It's especially great for yes or no questions or to bring excitement to everyday tasks.

How To Use the Magic 8 Ball Wheel

1. Add Names Add your custom answers or use our preset ones.
2. Click the "Spin" button in the center.
3. The wheel will spin and a random prediction will be revealed.

Customization and Features

• Change Colors
  Each wheel can have up to eight different colors in it. The colors are randomly assigned to each wheel segment. You can change all the colors by clicking the "Change Colors" button Change Colors. This will open a color picker allowing you to select colors of your choice.

• Import Hundreds of Names from Excel, CSV or Google Sheets
  When you are in the "Add Names" screen you have the option to copy and paste long lists of names from Excel, CSV or Google Sheets directly into the wheel to save you time. You can drag and drop an entire Excel/CSV file or use this 'CSV' button CSV. A prompt will appear asking you which columns you wish to import (you can import multiple columns in one go - each cell is treated as a separate wheel entry/name). With Google Sheets you simply copy the data you want to import and paste it directly in the wheel entries screen. You can also import multiple columns at once from Google Sheets.

• Drag and Drop Multiple Images into Wheel
  The wheel supports images as well as names. You can have just images, just names or both! Images make the wheel a lot more engaging. How to add images to the wheel: Click the "Add Names" button - in this screen you can also drag and drop multiple images to the wheel from your computer or use this "Images" button to add multiple images to the wheel. This is a fun way to graphically show different pictures or faces on the wheel.

• Vocally Announce Winner
  Random Wheel Spin wanted to make the wheel as accessible as possible so we added the option to vocally announce the winner after each spin. This is optional and accessible in the "Add Names" screen.

• Auto Remove Winner After Each Spin
  You also have the option to auto-remove the winner after each spin. This is optional and accessible in the "Add Names" screen.

• Embed Wheel in Your Website
  You can embed a wheel to your own website. Click the link in the top menu to do this. All menus and buttons are removed so the wheel is tailored to your own branding.
  

• Full Screen Mode
  If you have a presentation or just want to view the wheel in a bigger format without all the menu and buttons click the two arrows in the bottom right of the screen. This will enlarge the wheel on your screen and remove all surrounding menus and text. To exit fullscreen mode simply click the two arrows again.
  

• Wheel Saves Automatically and Updates in Real-Time
  The virtual spinner wheel updates and saves in real-time meaning you can close the window by accident (without clicking a Save button) and your data will still be saved. The wheel saves automatically as soon as you update the names or colours. This means if you accidentally close your browser everything will reload where you left off the next time you open the website again. There is no need to login or have an account.
  

• Display Extra Information for any of your Wheel Entries
  You can customize the wheel to store and display extra information behind each of your wheel items (such as facts, questions, answers or actions) that can be displayed when a result is selected (so that extra information is effectively hidden until the item is randomly selected by the wheel).
  
  When the wheel is spun and a result is selected the user will see a "Click Me" button in the result popup which they click to display the extra information. The information could, for example, be some facts about that wheel entry, or a question, answer or action. It is particularly useful in the classroom getting students to answer questions hidden behind each of the wheel entries, as well as engaging presentations at work or team-building events, or a fun game between friends where that information is hidden until the wheel lands on an entry at random, such as a truth or dare game.
  
  To add extra information all you do is click the "Add Names" button and then click the toggle labelled "Add/Edit Extra Information". On the next screen you can then choose which wheel item you want to add extra information against. You can also add multiple images in the extra information screen.
  

• Your Wheel Data is Stored on Your Computer
  All data you input on the wheel (like your entries or saved wheels) is stored only in your browser’s local storage and never sent to our servers.
  

•   Click the New Wheel icon to create a new wheel which will reset the current wheel and load in the default wheel colors and default starting names (your current wheel will be overwritten with the default wheel).

•   Click the Open Wheel icon to open a previously saved wheel. When you click this it will allow you to browse your computer for any previously saved wheels so you can open them (your current wheel will be overwritten with the opened wheel).

•   Click the Save Wheel icon if you want to save your current wheel to your computer hard drive. 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.

•   Click the share icon to share the wheel with other people, including friends, family, students or colleagues. You can share your wheel of names to any other App on your device or create a sharable link to your wheel.

•   Click the embed link (in top menu) to generate a snippet of code which you can insert and paste directly into your own website (paste it anywhere inside your "" tags). Only the wheel will be displayed in your website. All buttons and menus are removed to make it cleaner and simpler, so you can tailor it to your own branding.
