Why use a random name picker wheel?
A name picker wheel removes bias from everyday choices. Instead of an impulse pick or a tie-breaking argument, the wheel makes the decision feel fair, transparent, and fun. That's why it's so widely used in classrooms, meetings, and games.
- For teachers: call on students fairly, pick a class helper, or run a game — with a little suspense before the reveal.
- For teams: choose a presenter, assign a task, pick a team, or settle any group decision quickly and impartially.
- For families and friends: settle the "who goes first" question, choose a movie, or decide the next activity.
How to use the name picker
1. Add your list
Type or paste your names into the Wheel choices box, one per line. It accepts a full class list, a team roster, or any set of options.
2. Spin the wheel
Push the wheel and watch it spin. It follows a randomized deceleration curve and lands on one entry, selecting it fairly. Hide the names during the spin if you want to build suspense for a group reveal.
3. Use the result
The chosen name is displayed clearly. Spin again to pick another, or re-shuffle the list for a fresh round.
4. Save and export
Save your favorite name sets to the Faction Vault on your device, and export the wheel to CSV whenever you need a record.
Fairness and privacy, built in
LoreQuest's wheel performs its selection completely on your device — nothing is sent to a server. The spin follows a randomized constant-deceleration curve and lands between 3% and 96% of the chosen segment, so results stay fair and unpredictable. Your name list is private by design.
For classrooms, this also means you can confidently use the wheel on a shared screen without your data leaving the room.
