Random Emoji Wheel
One emoji, chosen for you. It is a small prompt that turns out to be the fastest way to start a drawing, a story or a round of charades.

How to use this template
- Spin for one of the sixteen on the wheel.
- Paste your own emoji over the list — one per line — if you want a themed set for the game you are running.
- Spin two or three times in a row when one emoji is not enough of a prompt. Two unrelated ones are usually funnier than one.
- Turn on “Remove the winner after each spin” so a round works through the set without repeating.
What people use it for
- Drawing prompts: spin, and everyone draws it in sixty seconds.
- Story starters in a language class — spin three and build a sentence.
- Charades or Pictionary, with the wheel choosing instead of a card.
- Picking an emoji to label a team, a channel or a shared document.
- A warm-up round where everyone explains their week using whatever came up.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some emoji look different on my screen?
Every platform draws its own set, so the same emoji is not the same picture on Windows, on a Mac and on a phone. Nothing is wrong — the wheel shows what your device has.
Can I add emoji that are not on the wheel?
Yes. Paste them into the entries box, one per line, from wherever you keep them — your keyboard’s emoji picker works fine.
Why does one of my emoji show up as an empty box?
That is a character your device has no picture for, usually a very new one or a multi-part emoji like a family. Swap it for something older and it will draw.
