Frequently Asked Questions
AhaSlides is all about making presentations of any kind fun, colorful, and engaging. That’s why we decided in May 2021 to develop the AhaSlides Spinner Wheel 🎉
The idea actually started outside the company, at Abu Dhabi University. It started with the director of Al-Ain and Dubai campuses, Dr Hamad Odhabi, a long-term fan of AhaSlides for its ability to improve engagement amongst students under his care.
He put forward the suggestion of a random wheel spinner to give him the ability to select students by chance. We loved his idea and we immediately got to work. Here’s how it all played out…
- 12th May 2021: Created the first draft of the spinner wheel, including the wheel and the play button.
- 14th May 2021: Added the spinner pointer, entry box and the entry list.
- 17th May 2021: Added the entry counter and the entry ‘window’.
- 19th May 2021: Refined the final look of the wheel and added ending celebration pop-up.
- 20th May 2021: Made the spinner wheel compatible with AhaSlides’ in-built profanity filter.

- 29th May 2021: Added the ‘update wheel’ feature to allow new participants to join the wheel.

Randomizer wheels such as this have a long history of realizing and dashing dreams across TV. Who’d have thought that we can use this to make our daily activities at work, school, or home more fun and stimulating?
Spinner Wheels were trendy amongst American game shows in the 70’s, and viewers quickly got hooked on the intoxicating whirlpool of light and sound that could bring vast riches to ordinary people.
The spinner wheel spun into our hearts from the early days of the smash hit Wheel of Fortune. Its ability to enliven what was essentially a televisual game of Hangman, and retain viewer interest to the present day, really told of the power of random wheel spinners and ensured that game shows with wheel gimmicks would continue to flood in throughout the 70s.
In that period, The Price is Right, Match Game, and The Big Spin became masters in the art of spin, employing enormous picker wheels to select numbers, letters, and amounts of money in a random fashion.
Though most wheel spinners spun their course in 70s-inspired TV shows, there are occasional examples of ones that have been thrust back into limelight. Mainly the short-lived Spin the Wheel, produced by Justin Timberlake in 2019, and a 40-foot wheel, which is by far the most ostentatious in TV history.
Want to read more? 💡 John Teti’s excellent and brief history of TV spinner wheel – the random spinner is certainly worth a read.
It does! The dark mode randomiser wheel isn't available here, but you're able to use it with a free account on AhaSlides. Simply start a new presentation, select the Spinner Wheel slide type, then change the background to a dark colour.
Sure you can! We don't discriminate at AhaSlides 😉 You can type any foreign character or paste any copied emoji into the random picker wheel. Be aware that foreign characters and emojis can look different on different devices.
Certainly. Using an ad blocker doesn't affect the performance of the spinner wheel at all (because we don't run adverts on AhaSlides!)
Nope. There are no secret hacks for you or anyone else to make the wheel spinner show a result more than any other result. The AhaSlides spinner wheel is 100% random and cannot be influenced.
