What is a Number Picker Wheel?
A Number Picker Wheel is a simple yet powerful tool designed to randomly select a number with a single spin. Ranging from 0 to 100, the default setup provides plenty of flexibility for games, decision-making, classroom activities, and more. Whether you're picking a lucky number, drawing a raffle ticket, selecting a student, or generating a math challenge, this wheel brings a fun and interactive element to the process. One of the greatest advantages of using the Number Picker Wheel is its customizability. While the default range is 0-100, users can easily modify it to suit any purpose — from smaller number sets like 1-10 to specific sequences like 5, 10, 15, etc. This makes it useful for teachers, event organizers, families, or game creators. You can also customize colors, labels, and add sound effects or vocal announcements to make the experience more dynamic. In the classroom, teachers use the Number Picker Wheel for random questioning, mental math exercises, or to create a sense of fairness in group selections. At home or parties, it’s perfect for contests, giveaways, or just for some good old-fashioned fun with friends and family. The Random Wheel Spin platform lets you save your customized wheels, share them with others, or even embed them in your own website. You can also upload custom sounds and tweak the spin speed, making it as dramatic or snappy as you like. Whether you're generating numbers for practical use or just spinning for fun, the Number Picker Wheel combines utility with entertainment — offering a playful yet purposeful way to make random choices with a visual twist.
How To Use the Number Picker Wheel
- Simply click the "Add Names" button and type wheel names into the popup box.
- Then click "Spin" in the center of the wheel.
- The wheel will spin for about 8 seconds and a random number will be selected.
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 . 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 . 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" buttonto 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 thelink 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.
Menu Options:
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.

At Random Wheel Spin, our number picker wheel makes learning more interactive, helping teachers build excitement around otherwise routine tasks. It's especially useful in situations where numbers need to be selected at random—making it ideal for math games, student participation, assigning questions, or generating group numbers.
Teachers in both primary and secondary classrooms find this digital spinner particularly helpful. From deciding which student presents first to choosing quiz numbers or selecting numbers for math drills, the number picker wheel turns standard classroom procedures into mini-games. This shift from passive instruction to active participation enhances student engagement and creates a sense of fairness and fun.
As a classroom tool, it offers simplicity and efficiency. Teachers can manually enter number ranges or import lists from Excel, CSV files, or Google Sheets. With options to remove numbers after selection, use spoken feedback, or even customize visual themes, it supports a range of teaching styles and classroom needs.

The Number Picker Wheel: A Digital Fidget Spinner
More than just a random number generator, the number picker wheel can also serve as a calming focus point in the classroom. Much like a digital fidget spinner, its colorful motion, sound effects, and rhythmic spinning offer a sensory break—especially beneficial for students with ADHD, autism, or anxiety.
Students often find comfort in the predictability and rhythm of the spin. It gives them a visual and auditory focus that gently resets their attention. This calming effect makes it a subtle but powerful classroom tool for helping maintain emotional balance, while still keeping the learning process moving.
Teachers have also started incorporating the wheel into mindfulness moments or as a quick way to regain class focus. Watching the wheel spin can act as a mini-reset button—especially after high-energy lessons or during transition periods.
Whether it's used to enhance learning or manage classroom energy, the number picker wheel is a valuable part of any modern teacher’s toolkit.
Is the Number Picker Wheel Random?
Yes the Number Picker Wheel at Random Wheel Spin is as random as it gets on a computer and uses advanced cryptographic Random Number Generation (RNG) technology similar to that used in slot machines in casinos. Every spin of this wheel is designed to be cryptographically random and provably fair, similar to the standards expected in online casinos or blockchain-based games of chance.
"How come I get lots of winners which are the same?" This is just chance. In every day life you can throw two dice and both dice can each land on six several times in a row. This is pure chance and the same applies to the wheel.
Random Wheel Spin's Number Picker Wheel does not have any memory so previous outcomes don't affect future winners.
In games of chance, using Math.random()
isn't enough. Random Wheel Spin uses browser-grade cryptographic randomness via crypto.randomUUID()
, along with SHA-256
for irreversible hashing (used by financial institutions and government agencies).
