Dinner Wheel

Welcome to the Dinner Wheel by Wheel Spinner X! The dinner wheel is one of the many spinners that we offer here on our website, and you can use it for free just like the rest.

If you're having trouble deciding what to eat for dinner, our dinner wheel is here to put your worries to rest.

How to Use the Dinner Wheel?

Here is a comprehensive guide on how you can use the dinner wheel spinner.

1. Enter the foods (that you want to pick from) in the dinner wheel. To enter the dish names, you can simply click on the input field on the right side of the wheel. Type the food names, or paste them from a source, to instantly add them to the wheel.

1. You can also add entries to the wheel using the Advanced mode. Click on the button at the bottom titled Add New Button + and then fill in the fields.

2. Customize and edit the entries. Here is what you can do:

1. Change the weight of the slices to make them larger. You can do this with a slice that you want to have a greater chance of being selected.
2. Change the background color of the slices to make them unique and different.
3. Add images as the background for each slice.
4. Edit the winning message of each entry.
5. Edit the winning sound effect of each entry.

3. Customize the dinner wheel’s spinning behavior if needed. If you want, you can access the Settings and adjust the behavior of the dinner wheel during the spin. Here are the settings that you can adjust:

1. Sound – You can enable or disable the sound effects of the wheel of dinner, and also choose the exact one to be played.
2. Display Duplicate – You can enable this option if you want duplicate entries to show up separately on the wheel.
3. Spin Slowly – When enabled, this setting makes the wheel spin slowly instead of whirring around rapidly.
4. Spin Time (Seconds) – This setting allows you to specify the total time for which the wheel spins.
5. Maximum number of slices to be shown on the wheel – This setting allows you to limit the total number of entries on the wheel so that it doesn’t get too big.

4. Customize the wheel’s “After Spin” effects if needed. Here are some of the options that you can adjust in the After Spin Settings to change how the results are displayed after the spin is over.

1. Sound – You can enable or disable the sound effects that play once the wheel spin is over.
2. Sound type – You can also change the type of sound effects that play once the output is provided.
3. Winner display with popup – You can enable or disable the popup message feature. When enabled, the wheel results are provided with a pop-up and congratulatory text.
4. Animate winning entry – Choose whether or not the winning entry is shown with a flashy animation.
5. Auto-remove winner after 5 seconds – With this setting enabled, the winning entry will be automatically removed from the wheel so that it is not selected again.
6. Display the “Hide” button – Enabling this option shows the Hide button in the result popup.
7. Display the “Remove” button – Enabling this option will show the “Remove” button in the result popup.
8. Play a click sound when the winner is removed – This helps let you know when the winner is removed, so that you can start the spin again.

Note: The Hide and Remove buttons are slightly different. With the Hide button, you can temporarily remove the entry from the wheel but not from the list. On the other hand, the Remove button completely removes the entry from the list. You’ll have to manually add it again if needed.

5. Customize the dinner wheel’s appearance by clicking on the Appearance tab in the Settings. Here, you can change the background of the whole wheel and enable/disable outlines for each entry. You can also adjust the size of the middle button and change its background.

6. After you have adjusted all the settings and made all of your customizations, you can go ahead and spin the wheel of dinner. If you’re on a mobile device, simply tap on the wheel. On a desktop, click on it or use the CTRL + Enter shortcut. Wait for the spin to finish.

7. Once the result is provided, you can download it to your device as a PNG file. After that, you can start the process again after hiding or removing the selected entry.

Are the Results of the Dinner Decider Pre-Programmed?

Nope, the results of the dinner decider are completely random. Our tool picks randomly from the given entries and is completely fair. There is no hidden mechanism that picks pre-programmed choices. You can trust our wheel to make an unbiased choice every time you spin it.

How to Save and Load Wheels on the Dinner Wheel

Here on our platform, we give you the option to save the wheels you’ve customized (to your profile’s cloud storage) and then recall them again in the future if the need arises.

To save and load wheels, you need to have an account on Wheelspinnerx.com

Here is how you can perform these steps:

1. To save your customized wheel, click on the “Save” button below the wheel. You will be asked to add the name and description of the wheel. Enter all the required details and then click on the “Save” button.
2. To load your customized wheel, simply click on the “Open” button underneath the wheel and then select the wheel you need to fetch. Click on the blue edit icon to open the wheel.

How to Share Your Custom Wheel of Dinner with Others

Why use the dinner wheel on your own if you can share it with others? Wheel Spinner X provides a sharing option that you can use, and it doesn’t require you to register.

When a wheel is shared, the other person can use it the same way as you and see the same entries/effects.

Here is how you can use the sharing feature:

• Click on the Share button below the wheel
• Adjust the following features:
  • Allow people to copy the wheel? (By choosing the Yes option, everyone you share the wheel with will be able to make a duplicate of it themselves.)
  • Includes: Inputs, Settings (You can choose whether only the settings are shared, just the inputs, or both.)
• Once you have adjusted the settings, click on the Generate Share Link button.

After the link is generated, copy and send it to whoever you want to share the wheel with.
