Group Picker Wheel
Split a room into working groups without the shuffling and negotiating. Useful when you want to break up the same four people who sit together every single week.
A group picker wheel splits people into random groups when you spin it — a fair, fast way to form balanced groups for class, work, or games.
What is a group picker wheel?
A group picker wheel is a spinning wheel loaded with names that you spin to assign people to groups at random. Because the draw is random, it removes bias and the same cliques forming every time.
What is on the Group Picker Wheel by default?
The group picker wheel loads with these 10 options, so you can spin it straight away without setting anything up. Every one of them can be edited, removed, or replaced with your own list — the wheel redraws itself as you type, and nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.

How to use the group picker wheel
- Add all names. Paste everyone into the wheel.
- Spin to assign. Spin to draw each person, assigning them to the next group in turn.
- Build the groups. Remove each drawn name so nobody is picked twice.
- Share it if you need it again. Press Share to copy a link that reopens this exact wheel, options and all. Useful for a class roster you spin every week, or for letting a group spin the same wheel from their own phones.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make even groups?
Draw names one at a time and rotate which group each goes to, removing each drawn name to keep it fair.
Is the group picker wheel free?
Yes, it is free with no sign-up.
How is this different from the team generator?
It works the same way — use whichever name fits your task; both split people into fair random groups.
Can I share a wheel with someone else?
Yes. Press Share and the link is copied to your clipboard. Anyone who opens it gets the wheel with your exact options already loaded, so a teacher can bookmark one link per class and a group can spin the same wheel from different phones. The options travel in the link itself — nothing is saved to an account, because there are no accounts.
Do I need an account to save a wheel?
No, and there is no account to make. A wheel is saved by keeping its share link — bookmark it, paste it into a lesson plan, or send it to whoever needs it. Because the options live in the URL rather than on a server, the link keeps working without anyone logging in.
