Yes or No Wheel
Spin the wheel to get a random Yes or No answer — a fun, visual way to make decisions.
About Yes or No Wheel
The Yes or No Wheel is an animated decision spinner that gives you a visual, theatrical way to arrive at a binary answer. Six alternating green Yes and red No segments fill the wheel by default. Click SPIN and the wheel accelerates, completes between five and ten full rotations, then decelerates naturally and stops on a random segment. A result badge pops into view with an entrance animation, and the answer is added to a running history that tallies how many Yes and No results you have collected across a session.
The wheel suits any situation where the right answer is genuinely fifty-fifty and you want the decision to feel ceremonious rather than cold. Teachers use it to call on volunteers or settle classroom debates. Families use it to pick movie nights, chores, or who goes first in a board game. Party hosts use it as a party-game prop. Creatives spin it when they are creatively blocked and need permission to commit to one idea. You can also break free of the default Yes/No framing: type any custom label into the entry field and the wheel incorporates it alongside the existing segments, turning it into a lightweight general-purpose decision wheel.
Every spin is calculated entirely inside your browser using the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues), which produces cryptographically strong random numbers rather than the weaker pseudo-random values typical randomizers rely on. No data leaves your device, nothing is stored on a server, and there is no account or payment required. The full history of up to twenty spins is kept in memory for the current session and disappears when you close the tab.
Key Features
Cryptographically strong randomness
Each spin uses crypto.getRandomValues instead of Math.random, so every segment has a genuinely equal probability of winning — not just a statistically likely one.
Smooth physics-based deceleration
The wheel spins 5 to 10 full rotations and slows with a cubic-bezier easing curve, so the pointer drifts to a stop the way a real wheel would rather than cutting abruptly.
Animated result reveal
A Yes/No badge pops in with a scale animation after each spin, giving the result a satisfying moment of reveal instead of just a text update.
Session spin history with stats
The last 20 results are logged automatically with Yes and No tallies shown at a glance, useful when you want to track a run of multiple decisions or spot streaks.
Custom entries beyond Yes and No
Add any label to the wheel — "Maybe", a name, a team — and it is incorporated immediately. Entries containing the word "yes" turn green; all others turn red, keeping the visual language consistent.
No upload, no account, fully private
The wheel runs entirely in your browser. No spin result, no custom entry text, and no session data is ever sent to a server.
How to Use

See Your Result
The wheel stops on a random segment, revealing your answer with a visual highlight.
Example
A classroom teacher needs to pick a student volunteer. They add student names as custom entries alongside the default Yes/No segments, spin, and the wheel lands on a result.

Settling binary decisions with a fair witness
When two people genuinely disagree and neither wants to be accused of bias, a spin is a neutral third party. The animation makes the outcome feel earned rather than arbitrary, which is why it sticks.

Classroom activities and student engagement
Teachers spin the wheel to pick volunteers, split students into groups, or decide which discussion prompt to tackle first — the visual spin keeps energy in the room and removes any suspicion of favoritism.

Party and drinking games
The wheel doubles as a prop for social games: spin to determine who performs a dare, who picks the next song, or whether a house rule applies. Custom labels let you tailor it to any game format.

Overcoming creative decision paralysis
When you are stuck between two equal options — color palettes, headline variants, feature priorities — spinning gives you a result to react to. Even if you override it, the spin reveals which answer you were secretly hoping for.

Tracking decision patterns over time
The session history and Yes/No tallies let you run multiple spins and observe distribution. This is handy for demonstrating probability to students or verifying that a custom weighted wheel behaves as expected.
