Everyone adds a movie suggestion to the wheel. Spin it and watch whatever it lands on — no more scrolling through Netflix for 30 minutes!

💼 Work & Team Building

Sprint Retrospective

Add team members' names and spin to see who shares their feedback first. It makes retros more random and prevents the same people from always going first or last.

Meeting Facilitator
