Party ideas

5 Ways to Use a Wheel at a Party

1. Pick the next game

Load the Party games preset, cross off games your group doesn’t like, and spin whenever the energy drops.

2. Pick who goes next

Put every guest in the name picker and remove each name after it’s picked, so everyone gets a turn.

3. Spin for a forfeit

The loser of a round spins the Forfeits preset. Every forfeit on it is quick, safe and kind.

4. Prompts for charades and Pictionary

Use the Charades prompts or Pictionary words preset so nobody has to think up clues.

5. Prizes and draws

At the end, draw a prize winner with the giveaway picker or run a raffle.

Quick rules

Rules for 10 Classic Party Games

If the wheel lands on a game nobody remembers, here’s how to play it.

Charades

One player acts out a word or phrase with no talking, and their team has one minute to guess. Show the number of words with your fingers first.

Pictionary

Like charades, but you draw. No letters, numbers or talking. The team that guesses within a minute scores a point.

Truth or Dare

Each player answers a truth or does a dare. Use the truth or dare wheel for clean lists and fair rules.

Two Truths and a Lie

A player says three things about themselves. Two are true and one is made up. Everyone else votes on the lie.

Twenty Questions

One player thinks of a thing. The others ask up to 20 yes-or-no questions to work out what it is.

Hot Potato

Pass a soft ball round the circle while music plays. Whoever holds it when the music stops spins for a forfeit.

Word Association

Say a word. The next player says the first word it makes them think of, without pausing. Hesitate for three seconds and you’re out.

Would You Rather

Ask a question with two choices, such as “Would you rather fly or be invisible?” Everyone picks a side and explains why. The would you rather wheel has 107 questions.

Telephone

Whisper a sentence to the next person, who whispers what they heard to the next. The last player says it out loud.

Is the wheel fair?

Each spin uses your browser’s cryptographic random number generator, so every slice has the same chance unless you add weights such as *2. Our fairness page explains how it works.
