Fair participation is essential for effective team meetings, workshops, and group activities.

Add Team Members
Enter each team member's name in the input field and click 'Add Member' or press Enter. You can add up to 20 team members. Each member will appear in the list below and get their own colored segment on the wheel. Continue adding names until all team members are included. The wheel updates automatically as you add members.
Review the Wheel
Once you've added team members, you'll see a colorful roulette wheel with segments for each member. Each segment is color-coded and labeled with the team member's name. The wheel is ready to spin when you have at least 2 members added. If you're sharing your screen in a virtual meeting, everyone can see the wheel.

Click 'Spin Wheel' to randomly select a team member. The wheel will spin with a smooth animation (about 3 seconds), building anticipation.

Use the Selection
After the wheel stops spinning, the selected team member will be highlighted and displayed prominently. You can use this for icebreaker questions, participation, or any team activity. Click 'Spin Wheel' again to select another member, or click 'Reset' to clear previous selections and start fresh. Continue spinning as needed for your activity.
Best Practices for Team Icebreaker Wheel
Following best practices ensures you get the most value from Team Icebreaker Wheel. Here are essential strategies for effective use:
✓Prepare Team Members List Beforehand
Have your team members' names ready before starting your meeting or activity. This allows for quick setup and immediate use once everyone is present. For recurring meetings, keep a list of regular attendees to speed up the process. The faster you can set up, the more time you have for actual activities.
✓Share Your Screen for Virtual Meetings
For Zoom and Teams meetings, share your screen so all participants can see the wheel spinning. This makes the selection process more engaging and transparent. The visual spinning animation adds excitement and anticipation. Make sure your screen share includes the entire wheel and selection display.
✓Use for Multiple Activities
Don't limit use to just one selection. Spin multiple times for different activities, icebreaker questions, or participation opportunities. The cooldown period ensures variety while allowing repeated use. This maximizes participation across all team members throughout your meeting or activity.
✓Explain the Selection Process
Before spinning, explain to participants how the wheel works and that selection is truly random. This sets expectations and ensures everyone understands the fairness of the process. Transparency about the random selection builds trust and acceptance of the results.
✓Keep It Fun and Engaging
Use the visual spinning animation to build anticipation and excitement. The colorful wheel and smooth animation make selection more engaging than text-based tools. Let the wheel spin for the full 3 seconds to maximize the visual impact and excitement. Celebrate the selected person to keep energy high.
✓Use Reset When Starting Fresh
If you're starting a new activity or want to clear previous selections, use the 'Reset' button. This resets the wheel rotation and clears the previous selection history, ensuring a fresh start. Useful when moving between different activities or starting a new round of selections.
