Everything the Wheel Can Do: A Full Feature Walkthrough
The homepage looks simple on purpose — type some options, hit spin. But there's a fair bit more under the hood than that first glance shows. Here's a full tour, from the wheel itself to the games most people never scroll down far enough to find.
The wheel
- Type any list of options, separated by commas, and the wheel redraws itself instantly to match.
- Weighted odds. Add
x2orx3after any option (likeTacos x3) to give it a bigger share of the wheel and better odds — the math and the visuals both update automatically. See the full breakdown if you want the details. - Quick-start presets — Dinner, Movie Night, Yes or No, Chores, and Who Goes First — load a ready-made wheel in one tap when you don't want to type.
- Spin history keeps a running log of your last several results, so you can see what's already come up.
- Save as image downloads a snapshot of the wheel as a PNG, and copy share link encodes your current options into a URL you can send to anyone — they'll see the same wheel you built, no typing required on their end.
- Sound is built from scratch in the browser (no audio files to load) — a mechanical clack builds tension as the wheel slows, and a bell rings on landing. There's a mute toggle if you'd rather spin in silence.
- Three themes — Paper (light), Midnight (dark), and Neon — switchable anytime from the top right, and your choice is remembered on your next visit.
Everything saves locally, nothing gets uploaded
Your current options, theme, sound preference, and spin history are all stored in your browser's local storage — on your device, not on a server. There's no account, no login, and nothing about your wheel is visible to anyone else unless you use the share-link button yourself. Details are in the privacy policy.
The Games tab
Tucked into the Games page are five small arcade games, all built to work with keyboard, mouse, or touch:
- 🎟️ Ticket Grab — a snake-style game where the board speeds up the more you eat.
- 🎡 Wedge Dodge — dodge falling wedges that fall faster and thicker the longer you last.
- 🎯 Whack the Prize — a 30-second reflex game, click or tap the target before it disappears.
- 👻 Ticket Muncher — a maze chase in the spirit of the classics. Eat every ticket to clear a level, grab a golden ticket to turn the chasing "inspectors" blue and edible for a few seconds, and clearing the board sends you straight into the next level instead of ending the run.
- 🎈 Balloon Rise — tap or press space to keep a balloon aloft through a gap between poles, endless and speeding up over time.
Every game tracks your best score locally and includes a Level indicator, since all five start slow and ramp up gradually rather than throwing full difficulty at you immediately.
Built for phones, not just adapted for them
On a touch device, starting a game automatically expands it to fill the screen — the navigation and page content step out of the way, the board and controls scale up, and touch input works across the whole play area rather than requiring you to steer with your thumb directly on top of what you're trying to watch.
Most of this is discoverable just by clicking around, but now you know it's there.
