Hosting pub trivia? Spin the Trivia Category Wheel to randomly select the next topic instantly! It works right in your browser. Learn how to customize your wheel.
The Trivia Category Wheel is a tool for pub quiz hosts, teachers, and game night organizers. Instead of going through questions in a predictable order, you spin the wheel to determine the genre of the next question. It keeps players on their toes and adds a game-show feel to standard Q&A sessions.
Get started in under 30 seconds — here's how.
Prepare your trivia questions beforehand.
Ensure the wheel matches your question topics.
Click the wheel before the round starts.
Ask a question from the winning category.
Make your quizzes unpredictable.
Project the wheel on a TV at the bar to let the teams see what category is coming up next.
Teachers can put "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc., on the wheel to randomly quiz students before an exam.

Yes, you can easily tap the wheel on your tablet or phone while holding a microphone.
A successful trivia night is all about pacing and fairness. If you do 10 sports questions in a row, the non-sports fans will get bored and check their phones. By using a Category Spinner, you guarantee a mixed bag of questions that keeps every team engaged.
To make things interesting, try adding a "Double Points" or "Steal" slice to the wheel. If the wheel lands on it, the next question is worth double the points, or the team can steal points from the leader. It introduces high-stakes gambling into standard trivia!
