Decision Wheel

Every team has the moment where someone asks “who first?” and everyone looks at their laptop. A spinning wheel short-circuits the awkwardness. Nobody feels singled out because the software made the call, and the visual theatre of a wheel lands lighter than a coin flip.

What to actually use it for

• Demo order. Turn on “remove winner after each spin” and spin repeatedly. The wheel cycles through the whole team without repeats, giving you a fair running order in under a minute.
• Who presents the retro action items. Same pattern. One action per person, randomly assigned.
• Tie-breakers. Two features, three names, whatever. Spin, accept, move on.
• Fun picks. Who brings snacks to the next social. Where to order lunch. Who cleans the sink. All the decisions that take twenty minutes of polite declining.
• Who starts the standup. Different person every day shakes up the energy and makes the meeting feel less performative.

Is it really random?

Yes. The winner is chosen with JavaScript's random number generator before the wheel starts spinning, and the visual rotation is calculated to land on that wedge. Each option has exactly the same odds of being picked, so a team of eight means 1-in-8 each spin. No weighting, no house edge.

Why use a wheel instead of a simple random picker?

Because the spin buys the team a beat of anticipation, and because seeing the wheel slow down with ticking sounds is more fun than a blank result popping up. A shared moment of suspense is the whole point of rolling dice versus flipping a switch.
