What's on the food wheel
The wheel comes loaded with 12 options that cover a solid range of meal types: comfort food (Burger, Ramen, Mac and Cheese), lighter choices (Salad, Sandwich), and more involved sit-down meals (Steak, Sushi, Curry). That spread means a random result is almost always something actually achievable — not an outlier that everyone immediately vetoes.
If your group eats differently — maybe someone's vegetarian, or you're picking from a specific neighbourhood's restaurants — swap the list to match. Delete any entry with the X button, add your own in the text field, or paste a newline-separated list using bulk import to replace everything at once.
Adjusting the wheel before you spin
A few quick edits make the result feel fair to everyone at the table:
- Hide without deleting. Use the eye-toggle on any entry to skip it during spins while keeping it in the list. Useful when Sushi is off the table tonight but you'll want it back tomorrow.
- Weight a favourite higher. Each entry has a numeric weight (default 1). Set Pizza to 2 and it takes up twice the slice — so it wins roughly twice as often. Useful if one option is genuinely preferred but you still want some randomness.
- Swap the look. The Customize panel has 16 colour palettes — Carnival, Neon, Candy, and more — so the wheel feels festive for a party or clean for a quick solo decision.
Using the food wheel with a group
The wheel works on any browser — desktop, tablet, or phone — so anyone at the table can spin from their own device, or you can pass one phone around. After the wheel lands, the winner dialog shows the result and lets you share it directly to WhatsApp or X, or copy it to paste into a group chat. The shared message includes the result text and the page link, so whoever gets it can spin their own version.
If you're running a themed game night or a classroom activity, the classroom wheel has a similar setup optimised for picking from a list of names or topics. And if you want to build a completely custom wheel from scratch — say, for a restaurant bracket or a food challenge — the wheel generator starts blank and lets you build whatever list you need.
Remove Winner keeps the game moving
Toggle Remove Winner on and each result is pulled from the pool immediately after the spin. That turns the wheel into a full meal-plan randomiser: spin once for Monday, again for Tuesday, and so on, without the same meal repeating until you've worked through the whole list. It's also good for food challenges where each player picks from what's left.
Spin history sits just below the wheel, showing every result from the current session in reverse order. If you're planning a week of meals, that list doubles as a record — though it clears when you close or refresh the page, so note down anything you want to keep.
