When to use Reward Wheel
- Cold-calling a random student without accusations of bias.
- Splitting groups fairly for group work or team activities.
- Reward selection at end of a good lesson or week.
- When you specifically want randomness — not a "recommendation engine", not a ranking, just an unbiased pick.
How the picker works
Reward Wheel runs entirely in your browser — no servers, no accounts, no data sent anywhere. Each pick uses your browser's built-in cryptographic random-number generator (window.crypto.getRandomValues), which is uniformly distributed across the option pool.
The pool for this picker: 16 hand-picked options. Every option has an equal probability of being selected on any given pick (about 6.25% per option).
Wheel-kind picks animate the spin visually but the outcome is determined at the moment of tap, then animated backward — the visual is theatre, the maths is instant.
If you want a deliberately weighted pick (favouring some options over others), the picker isn't the right tool — try structuring the choice as a wheel with duplicated entries, or split into two picks (category first, then item within category).
Related pickers + when to prefer each
Reward Wheel is one of several related pickers on the site. The rest of this cluster covers adjacent decisions:
Behaviour Reward Picker — the closest neighbour when this picker isn't quite the right fit.
Brain Break Generator — the closest neighbour when this picker isn't quite the right fit.
Wheel Of Names — the closest neighbour when this picker isn't quite the right fit.
All picks are independent — running one picker doesn't influence the others.
