Arrow Spinner
Tap the arrow and let it decide. Every spin lands on a random direction.
Pointing
Ready when you are
Tap the arrow, or press the button to spin.
Tap again mid-spin — it re-accelerates
What is the arrow spinner?
It is a digital version of spin the bottle: a needle spins in the middle of the dial and stops on a random direction. There are no lists to type and no options to set up — the arrow itself is the answer.
That makes it the fastest way to point at a person or a direction when everyone is looking at the same screen: who goes first, who answers next, which way to walk.

How to use the arrow spinner
No setup, no sign-up. Tap once and you are done.
- 01
Tap the arrow
Hit the dial or press the button below — the needle starts spinning.
- 02
Let it slow down
One hard flick starts it, then it winds down on its own — seven to nine turns before it stops.
- 03
Read the result
You get a compass point plus the exact angle. Spin again whenever you need a new direction.
Spin the bottle, without the bottle
A bottle rolls off the table, stops against a phone, and nobody agrees where it was pointing. The arrow does not. Lay the phone flat in the middle of the circle, keep it still, and let the tip pick.
- 1
Sit evenly
Four players take 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock; eight add the half hours. Even gaps keep it fair.
- 2
The tip is the pointer
Not the tail. Agree on that out loud before the first spin.
- 3
Landed between two people?
Decide in advance: spin again, or whoever is closest to the tip wins.
- 4
One spin, one result
Agreeing on "best of three" after losing is cheating.
Use it for dares, turns and forfeits — but never force anyone to play. A pass is always allowed.
What people use it for
From classrooms to party circles — anywhere a random direction or a random pick helps.
Classroom picks
Call on a student, pick who presents next, or set the order of a group activity.
Party games
Lay the phone in the middle of the circle as a digital spin-the-bottle that never rolls away.
Board games
Decide who goes first, which way a piece moves, or left-right-up-down for Twister.
Stuck on a choice
At a junction on a walk or a drive with no plan? Let the arrow pick the way.
Streams and videos
Spin live to hand out challenges, dares, or the next viewer's turn.
Chores at home
Settle who walks the dog, who does the dishes, or which film you watch tonight.

Frequently asked questions
Is the arrow spinner free?
Yes. It is completely free, needs no account, and runs in any browser on phone or desktop.
Is the result really random?
Yes. The stopping angle comes from the browser's random number generator. The extra turns only animate the needle and cannot change or steer where it lands.
Can I use it on my phone?
That is the most common way to use it. Lay the phone flat in the middle of the group, and whoever sits where the tip stops is picked.
What if it stops between two people?
Agree on a rule before the spin: either spin again, or whoever is closest to the tip wins.
What do the directions mean?
The dial shows eight compass points. When it stops you also get the exact angle, for example North-east at 45 degrees.
Does it work offline?
After the first load, yes. The arrow is drawn and spun by your browser, so the spin itself needs no connection.
Are my spins saved?
No. Nothing leaves your device — no account, no history, no server-side storage.
How many people can play?
As many as fit around the screen. The arrow points at physical space, so the only limit is how many people can sit in the circle.
Arrow or wheel — which one?
A wheel picks from options you type in. The arrow picks a direction in the room, which makes it better for choosing a person or a way to go.
Can it pick a person?
Yes. Sit in a circle, put the phone in the middle, and whoever the tip points at is it — the digital version of spin the bottle.
