Complete guide

Spin the Theme Picker Wheel

The Theme Picker Wheel loads a ready-made mix of creative themes so you can spin immediately. Every enabled entry receives one equal slice. When the pointer stops, you get a clear theme for parties, writing, drawing, classrooms, or content challenges—no endless debating required. Keep spinning for rematches, or switch templates when you need a focused list.

  1. 1

    Open the Theme Picker Wheel with a ready-made mix of creative themes already loaded.

  2. 2

    Spin once for a fair random theme everyone can see—or switch to a focused template first.

  3. 3

    Customize the list: add party ideas, writing prompts, drawing subjects, classroom topics, and more.

  4. 4

    Adjust colors, attach optional images, and toggle elimination mode when each theme should win only once.

  5. 5

    Save the wheel on this device, share a custom setup, or reopen popular theme templates anytime.

Create Your Own Theme Wheel

Templates are only the starting point. Build separate wheels for parties, classrooms, drawing prompts, story genres, or video content instead of forcing every idea into one giant list. Add custom themes, edit names, change colors, upload optional images, save favorites, and share the exact setup with your group.

Add custom themes

Type any theme, prompt, or category onto the wheel so your group spins from a list that matches the activity.

Edit theme names

Rename wedges, reorder entries, and disable options you do not want in the next spin.

Change colors

Give each theme its own wedge color so the spinner stays clear on a projector, livestream, or phone.

Upload images

Attach optional images when visual mood boards help—great for costume, party, or drawing prompts.

Save wheels

Keep separate wheels for parties, classrooms, writing nights, or content series in My Wheels on this browser.

Share wheels

Share a Create Custom Wheel link so friends, students, or teammates open the same exact theme list.

Unlimited spins

Spin as often as you need. Every enabled theme starts with an equal chance unless you edit the board.

Popular Theme Wheel Templates

Jump to a focused spinner when you need party vibes, art prompts, writing themes, classroom activities, or Halloween ideas. Each template page preloads a useful list so you arrive ready to spin.

Browse the cluster from the template strip above the wheel, or start at Theme Picker Wheel and branch into focused spokes.
