What's on the icebreaker question wheel
The wheel comes loaded with 12 prompts chosen to be easy to answer but still revealing enough to spark a real conversation:
- Worst job you've had?
- Hidden talent?
- Favorite childhood snack?
- Dream vacation?
- Weirdest habit?
- First concert?
- Superpower of choice?
- Guilty pleasure show?
- Random skill?
- Coffee order?
- Fav sandwich?
- Biggest fear?
Every entry has the same default weight, so each question is equally likely to come up. If your group has already heard "Dream vacation?" three times this month, hit the X next to it to drop it from the pool — or toggle the eye icon to hide it temporarily without deleting it.
Making it your own
The default 12 are a starting point. Add a question by typing it into the entry field and pressing Enter, or paste a whole list at once using the bulk import text area. If you have a longer set stored in a spreadsheet, upload it as a .csv file and the wheel pulls in the first column automatically. Not sure what else to add? Hit the Ideas button and the wheel suggests additional prompts based on context.
For themed sessions — a new-hire orientation, a holiday party, a classroom warm-up — you might swap out most of the defaults for questions that fit the occasion. Clear all the existing entries with the Clear button, then bulk-paste your replacement list in one go.
If some questions suit your group better than others, you can raise their weight using the numeric input on each entry row. A question with a weight of 2 takes up twice the slice and comes up roughly twice as often. Useful if you want lighter questions to surface more frequently than heavy ones like "Biggest fear?".
Running it in a meeting or group setting
Share your screen and let whoever is facilitating hit the Spin button. The wheel animates for a few seconds and lands on a question — the winner dialog shows the prompt clearly so everyone in the room or on the call can read it. From there, point to someone to answer, or let people volunteer.
Turn on Remove Winner below the wheel if you want to work through the full list without repeating a question. Each spin removes the winner from the pool, so by the end of the session every question has come up exactly once. The spin history section beneath the wheel keeps a record of what's already been asked during the current session, which is handy if you stepped away and missed one.
For larger groups where you want each person to get a unique question, pair this with the wheel generator to build a names wheel alongside — spin the question wheel, then spin the names wheel to assign it to someone.
Sharing a result
When the wheel lands, the winner dialog includes share buttons for X (Twitter), WhatsApp, Facebook, and a copy-to-clipboard option. The shared content is the question text and the page URL — good for posting a fun result to a team channel or group chat after a session.
