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.

How to use the arrow spinner

No setup, no sign-up. Tap once and you are done.

  1. 01

    Tap the arrow

    Hit the dial or press the button below — the needle starts spinning.

  2. 02

    Let it slow down

    Every spin adds four to seven full turns, and the spot it lands on is picked at random.

  3. 03

    Read the result

    You get a compass point plus the exact angle. Spin again whenever you need a new direction.

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.

No account, no download, no limits — it works on any device.

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.
