How do you narrow options or decide in rounds?
Options narrow in rounds with "Last one standing" under "After each spin". Each spin knocks out 1 option, and the final option wins. 8 options reach a winner after 7 spins.
"Remove the winner" plans a sequence instead. A weekend with 3 free days takes 3 spins, 1 activity per day. "Keep score (tally)" runs best-of rounds: set "First to" 3 wins and spin until 1 option reaches 3.
The Winners menu picks up to 50 options in 1 spin, such as 3 dinners for the week ahead. ▶ Present mode and a 3-2-1 countdown turn a group decision into a short show.
What decisions can a decision wheel make?
A decision wheel makes any choice where every option is acceptable. The 5 most common decisions are meals, restaurants, weekend plans, movies and chores.
- Dinner and lunch: spin the What to eat list, or try the food wheel with meal filters.
- Restaurants: list 6 local places and weight the closest ones
*2. - Weekend plans: spin Weekend plans with "Remove the winner" for a 2-day schedule.
- Movie night: spin a genre, then spin titles within that genre.
- Chores: spin the Chores list once per person to assign tasks for the week.
A Share link lets a whole group spin the same options from their own phones. Spinning ends the back-and-forth on low-stakes choices. Disappointment at a result reveals the option you wanted. Decisions about health, money or work deserve research, not a spin.
Is the decision wheel random?
Yes. The decision wheel picks each result with crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographic random number generator. Equal options share the chance evenly.
8 equal options give each option a 12.5% chance. Cook at home *3 on the What to eat list raises cooking to 30%, or 3 of 10 total weight. A flick changes only the animation speed. The wheel odds calculator shows exact chances for any weighted list.
Which tools decide other kinds of questions?
3 tools decide other kinds of questions. The yes or no wheel answers 1 question with Yes or No. The coin flip settles a 2-way choice with heads or tails. The random name picker chooses between people, and any other list spins on the main spin the wheel page.
