Chore wheel
Load the wheel with chores and spin to pick the next one, or load it with names and spin to pick who does it. Both work, and which one you choose changes what feels fair.
7 options on the wheel
How to use
- 1.Decide what goes on the wheel: the tasks, or the people.
- 2.Type one per line and spin.
- 3.Delete the result and spin again to work through the whole list without repeats.
Tasks on the wheel, or names?
Putting tasks on the wheel answers what to do next, which helps when the list is long and nothing is starting. Putting names on the wheel answers who does it, and that is the version that causes arguments, because one person can come up twice in a row and random genuinely allows it. If that is the problem you have, the team generator is the better fit: it splits the whole list of names across the chores in one step so everybody gets something.
Random is not the same as even
A wheel has no memory. Across six spins the same name coming up three times is unremarkable, and it will feel rigged even though it is not. Anything that has to come out even should be a split, not a series of spins.
Using it at home with kids
Most of the wheel's value at home is that it is not a parent choosing. Three things make it hold up: keep the list to tasks that are genuinely comparable in effort, agree the list out loud before spinning, and spin once. A redraw after an unwelcome result undoes the entire point.
Frequently asked questions
Can I stop the same person being picked twice?
Not within one spin. Delete the name that came up and spin again, which makes it a draw without replacement. To split everything at once, the random team generator does it in a single press.
How many chores should go on it?
Few enough to read, so around a dozen. A longer list is better handled by shuffling the whole list at once with the random order generator.
Is there a timer or a tracker?
No. This page only picks. It does not time tasks and it does not track who did what.
Does it remember last week's assignment?
No, nothing is stored. There is no history, which also means there is nothing to check afterwards.
Running a giveaway on an Instagram post?
The comment picker reads the post, counts the entries and produces a public verification page with a code anyone can open — things a list pasted by hand cannot prove. Free up to 100 comments.
