Default Wheels
The Random Prize Wheel includes nine pre-made wheels you can spin right away. Each one demonstrates a different layout or display style β some use only text, others combine text with images, and one uses image-only panels. You can explore, edit, and save any of these once you are signed up and logged in.
-
Default (1-12) β A simple twelve-panel wheel numbered 1 through 12. This is the best starting point for building a custom wheel with your own labels or colors.
-
Money Wheel β Seven panels with real US bills from $1 to $100. It is a weighted wheel: smaller bills come up more often ($1 about 40% of the time, $100 only about 2%), which makes it a good example of how weights work.
-
Heads / Tails β A two-panel wheel that works like flipping a coin. Each side includes both text and imagery to show either βHeadsβ or βTails.β
-
1-10 β A simple number wheel featuring ten evenly spaced panels labeled 1 through 10. Each panel is clearly marked with bold numerals, making it perfect for random number picks, classroom activities, or simple games of chance.
-
A-Z β An alphabet wheel with 26 colorful panels, each labeled A through Z. Ideal for learning games, letter matching, or random letter selectionβgreat for classrooms, word challenges, or fun educational spins.
-
Pair Of Dice β Two six-panel wheels representing the sides of a die (1β6). Each panel uses an image of dice dots along with text to demonstrate a text and image layout. This is an example of multiple wheel functionality.
-
Yahtzee β This is 5 six-panel wheels representing the sides of a die (1β6). Each panel also uses an image of dice dots along with text. This is an example of the maximum number of wheels that can be spun together.
-
The Price Is Right β A twenty-panel themed wheel styled after the classic TV show. It shows each denomination from $0.05 to $1.00 in 5 cent increments.
-
Dinner Selector β A fun eight-panel wheel with images of food (pizza, tacos, pasta, etc.). Itβs a full image-only example perfect for random meal choices.
All of these wheels can be customized just like your own. Adjust the colors, panel count, labels, or images, then click Save Wheel to store your personalized version in My Wheels (available to logged-in users).

Settings
The Settings menu controls how your wheel looks, sounds, and behaves.
It includes options for Spin, Confetti & Sound, Background Color, and Wallpaper.
Use these panels to customize the overall experienceβfrom how long the wheel spins to the visual style and effects shown after each result.
All settings take effect immediately without needing to be saved. However, if you are logged in, these settings can be saved to your account and will automatically apply each time you return.
Settings β Spin Options
The Spin section lets you control how long and how randomly the wheel spins each time.
These options affect both manual spins and auto-spins, giving you full control over the feel of the wheel.
Adjusting Spin Behavior
-
Min Turns β The minimum number of full wheel rotations before it begins to slow down.
Lower values make spins shorter; higher values make them longer.
-
Max Turns β The maximum number of rotations the wheel can spin.
The final spin length will vary randomly between your Min and Max settings.
-
Shuffle Panels β When checked, the order of panels is randomly rearranged before each spin.
This ensures every result feels new and unpredictable.
Settings β Confetti & Sound
The Confetti & Sound section controls the celebration effects and audio feedback that play when the wheel stops.
These options let you choose how lively or quiet each spin result feels.
Customizing Visual and Audio Effects
-
Enable Confetti β Toggles the confetti burst that appears when a winner is selected.
Turn this off for a cleaner or more professional display.
-
Enable Sound β Controls the ticking and winning sounds during and after spins.
Uncheck this option for silent operation or presentation mode.
-
Show Popup β Displays the winnerβs name in a centered popup window when the spin ends.
Disable if you prefer to see results only on the wheel itself.
If enabled, the Popup window will also give you the option to remove the winning entry, thereby preventing
it from being selected in future spins. The toggle will retain its value until it is altered.
This is a great feature to use as a process of elimination.
Settings β Background Color
The Background Color section lets you control the colors of the three main panels on the desktop layout.
This allows you to personalize the interface to match your theme, brand colors, or visual preferences.
