How to Play with the Party Wheel
Gather your group. Each person takes turns clicking SPIN. When the
wheel lands, read the dare, truth, or forfeit out loud and complete
it. Since the selection is truly random, there are no arguments —
the wheel decided.
Works best passed around a phone or projected on a TV. Customize the
list with your own house rules.
Popular Party Wheel Ideas

Truth or Dare. Load the Truth or Dare preset —

spin to find out their forfeit.

Drinking Game Rules. Add rules like "Everyone
drinks," "Waterfall," "Never Have I Ever." Drink responsibly.

Common Questions About Party Spin Wheels
How do we play Truth or Dare with a digital wheel?
You can load our built-in Truth or Dare preset or customize the
entries with your group's specific rules. Some hosts like to use a
two-step process: first spin a 50/50 wheel to decide between "Truth"
or "Dare", then switch tabs to spin the corresponding challenge
wheel.
Can I customize the dares for family-friendly or adult parties?
Yes! The input textarea gives you complete freedom to type or paste
whatever list fits your crowd. Create PG-rated family charades for
kids, or write spicy, hilarious dares for an adult cocktail evening.
What are the best penalties or forfeits for board game losers?
Use the party wheel as a universal forfeit decider. When someone
loses a round of poker, Uno, or trivia, make them spin the forfeit
wheel for tasks like singing a song, doing 20 pushups, or wearing a
funny party hat for the rest of the night.
Can I share my custom party wheel with other guests?
Yes. Click the Share button to generate a unique
shareable link containing your custom dare list. Text the link into
your group chat so everyone has the exact same wheel on their
personal devices.

Party Wheel FAQ
Is the party wheel really random?
Yes. We use crypto.getRandomValues(), the browser's
cryptographically secure random number generator. Every spin is
genuinely unpredictable, so no one can accuse you of rigging the
game.
Can I use it as a drinking game?
Yes, though we recommend responsible play. The wheel is a fair
randomizer for any party game — truth or dare, forfeits,
challenges, or drinking rules. Please drink responsibly and know
your limits.
Can I add my own dares?
Yes. Just type your own dares, truths, or challenges into the text
box — one per line — and the wheel updates automatically. You can
also share your customized wheel with a link.
Can I weight dares?
Yes. Add x3 after a dare to give it three times the
weight — perfect for making the wildest dares rarer, or repeating
a favorite dare more often. Max weight is x99.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. SelectAWheel is fully responsive and works on iPhone, iPad,
Android phones and tablets, and desktop computers. Just pass the
phone around.
