About the Free Online Wheel of Names

The Wheel of Names is a fair, interactive random decision maker and prize wheel designed for teachers, educators, event coordinators, streamers, and giveaway organizers. Whether you need to pick a student for classroom cold-calling, select a random raffle ticket winner, or settle a fun debate among friends, our spinning wheel ensures a completely impartial result every time.

Built entirely using browser-native HTML5 Canvas and the Web Audio API, all animations, ticking sound effects, and celebratory fanfare are synthesized in real-time. No participant lists, student rosters, or private names are ever uploaded to any external server, guaranteeing 100% privacy and safety for classroom environments.

Cryptographic Fairness

Uses high-entropy random angle calculations so every segment on the wheel possesses an exact, unbiased probability of selection.

Automatic Winner Removal

Instantly eliminate previous winners from the wheel so no person is picked twice during multi-prize raffles and school turn-taking.

Audio & Confetti Effects

Experience realistic mechanical tick deceleration, celebratory fanfare arpeggios, and full-screen confetti bursts.

100% Privacy & Offline

All lists are stored exclusively in your local browser storage. Student data never touches a server or tracking database.
