Who Pays? Wheel
The meal's over, the card machine is hovering, and everyone is suddenly very interested in their phone. Nobody wants to be the one to say "separate checks" for the fifth time. The Who Pays wheel ends the standoff in three seconds flat — one spin, one payer, zero bruised friendships.
What's on the wheel
Twelve ready-made outcomes: split it evenly, everyone for themselves, the birthday person gets a pass, last one to arrive pays, and named-person placeholders for you and your crew. It's the fair-division ritual your group already half-uses, formalized so nobody has to argue.
How to use the Who Pays wheel
- Agree before you spin. Say "the wheel decides, no takebacks" out loud. That single sentence prevents every future objection.
- Spin in front of everyone. No spinning in a corner and announcing a result — witnesses keep it honest.
- Replace the names. Use “Customize this wheel” to put your actual friends on it, then save the link so the same wheel is ready next time.
- Keep it light. If a spin lands someone with a bill they can't cover, that's what "best of three" was invented for.
Make it yours
Want to add, remove or reword the options? Hit “Customize this wheel” under the spinner — it opens this exact list in the full wheel editor, where you can edit entries, change the theme, and share your version with a link. You can also toggle Remove winner after spin to run through every option without repeats.
FAQ
How do I put my friends' names on the wheel?
Click “Customize this wheel” to open it in the full editor, replace the placeholder names with your group's, and spin. Everyone sees the same list so nobody can claim it's rigged.
Is the pick actually random?
Yes — every segment has an identical chance and the outcome isn't decided until the wheel stops, so it can't be biased toward or against anyone.
Can we use it for a whole group bill?
Yes. Keep “Remove winner after spin” off to pick one payer for the whole table, or turn it on and spin once per item to assign each round to a different person.
