How Fair Pick works

We choose the winner with your device’s secure random numbers before the wheel spins. The spin only lands on that name. Equal mode: every eligible name has the same chance. Weighted mode: higher weights get a larger share — shown as percentages.

Ideal for PE, classrooms, and workshops — then spin the wheel if you still need a captain.

    Reveal & continue

    See the winner, celebrate with your chosen win sound, spin again, or remove them so everyone gets a turn.
