A wheel reveal for planned orders

Sequence Wheel Picker

A sequence wheel picker gives you the theatre of a spinning wheel while following a planned order behind the scenes. It is useful for rotations, demos, presentation order, rehearsal runs, and activities where the organiser already knows what should come next.

Sequence mode vs random mode

Equal mode picks from the whole list at random. Sequence mode follows the list you set, one result at a time. The wheel can still spin and feel familiar, but the selected item comes from the next position in the sequence.

This is helpful when the process should look smooth, but the order needs to be predictable.

When to avoid sequence mode

Do not use sequence mode if people expect a fair random result. Use it when the order is part of the activity, such as a rotation, an agreed agenda, or a demo. For giveaways and serious draws, use transparent random rules instead.

Sequence mode is organiser-controlled. Use it for rotations, demos, testing, and agreed orders, not as a hidden substitute for fair random selection.

FAQ

Quick answers before you use the tool.

What is a sequence wheel picker?

It is a wheel that selects entries in a planned order instead of choosing purely at random.

Can people still see the wheel spin?

Yes. The wheel can still spin normally while the selected entry follows the sequence.

Is sequence mode random?

No. It is controlled by the sequence you set. Use Equal mode for fair random picks.

What happens at the end of the sequence?

Spinly can loop the sequence or fall back to random mode depending on the setting you choose.
