The Wheel of Names is a free spinning tool that randomly selects one name from a list you provide. Instead of drawing a name from a hat, you type or paste names into the wheel, hit spin, and watch it land on a winner — with the same fairness but a lot more excitement.
It's the same engine behind our Yes or No Wheel, just built for lists of names instead of two answers. If you only need a quick binary decision instead of picking from a group, that tool is a faster fit.
Because everyone can watch the spin happen on screen, the pick feels visibly fair — there's no folded paper to suspect and no doubts. It also works instantly for remote classes, livestreams, and online raffles where a physical hat isn't possible.
Each name gets one equally-sized slice on the wheel, so the odds are mathematically fair. Want to give someone multiple chances in a raffle? Just add their name to the list more than once.
Three quick steps to your next random pick.
Type each name and press Enter, or use 📂 Import to paste a full list at once (one per line).
Click SPIN or press Space. Watch the wheel slow down before landing on a name.
The winning name pops up. Remove it to draw again without repeats, or spin again for a fresh pick.
Common ways people put it to work every day.
Load the class roster and spin to call on students fairly, or spin repeatedly to form random project groups.
Add every entrant, spin live on screen, and turn on "Remove Winner" to draw multiple prize winners without repeats.
Randomly assign who presents first in standup, pick Secret Santa pairs, or choose a lunch-order picker.
Decide who goes first in a board game, or pair up players for team games — see our Team Generator if you need balanced groups.
