Frequently asked questions

Is Wheel of Fate free?

Yes, completely free, with no account needed.

How many names can I add?

As many as you like. With very long lists the labels get smaller so everything still fits.

Does it save my list?

Your names, settings and results are stored in your own browser, so they're still there next time you open the page on that device. Nothing is uploaded.

Can I use it full screen for a class or stream?

Yes. Press the full-screen button in the top corner to show just the wheel.

Can I change the colours or turn off the sound?

Yes. Open the Settings tab to pick a colour theme, change the spin time, and switch sound or confetti on or off.
