Trivia Category Wheel — questions people ask

Can I add my own trivia categories?

Yes. Clear the default entries and type in any categories, subjects, difficulty levels, or custom labels you like. The wheel redraws immediately — there is nothing to save or apply.

Can I use this for a pub quiz?

Yes. Load the wheel with your round categories, spin at the start of each round to reveal the topic, and turn on Auto-remove Winner in Options so every category comes up exactly once across the evening.

Can I weight certain categories to appear more often?

Yes. Raise a category’s weight in the entries panel — setting Science to 2 while everything else stays at 1 makes it twice as likely on any given spin, and its slice grows so the room can see the change.

Can I share the wheel with my quiz team?

Yes. Click Share to generate a URL that encodes all your categories, then send it to your co-hosts. Everyone opens the same wheel with the same categories in the same order.

How many categories can I have on the wheel?

As many as you like. For a live event, keep it under about 20 so the segment labels stay large enough to read from across the room — and use the Large text size in Options if the audience is further back than that.

About the Trivia Category Wheel

The Trivia Category Wheel removes the host’s bias from topic selection. The wheel decides, everyone watches it decide, and no one spends the break claiming their team got the hard rounds on purpose.

It is equally at home in a quick classroom game or a properly run quiz night. Customise it in thirty seconds, share the link with your co-hosts, and spin it live.
