If you’ve run a spin-the-wheel trivia round in TriviaMaker before, the rules haven’t moved an inch. Spin, buy a vowel, solve the puzzle – same flow, same host controls, same games you already built. What’s changed is how it looks and feels to run: a cleaner wheel, easier-to-read labels, clearer visual hierarchy, and an updated gameplay screen.
Below, spin the redesigned wheel yourself, then see exactly what changed, what stayed the same, and where this game style fits – classrooms, corporate training, live events, and virtual meetings.
What Actually Changed in the Redesign
The redesign focused entirely on clarity – making the wheel easier to read from a projector, a shared screen, or a phone, and easier to build from the editor.
Give Your Next Trivia Game a Fresh New Look
The redesigned Spin the Wheel keeps the gameplay you already know while making every spin cleaner, easier to read, and more polished for classrooms, events, and team games.
What Stayed Exactly the Same
Gameplay is unchanged. Every game you’ve already built plays out the way it always has:
- Players spin, buy a vowel, or solve the puzzle – same three actions as before.
- The host controls gameplay from the same host screen workflow.
- All existing customization – labels, values, colors, prizes, Bankrupt and Lose a Turn segments – carries over exactly as built.
- Games created before the redesign still work without needing to be rebuilt.
Full Customization, Now Easier to See While You Build
The redesigned editor didn’t add new customization options – it made the existing ones easier to use, with a live wheel preview that updates as you edit.
- Editable wheel labels and point values
- Custom colors for each segment
- Custom prizes
- Custom Bankrupt option
- Custom Lose a Turn option
- Up to 24 wheel segments
- Drag-and-drop segment ordering
- Live wheel preview while editing
Where This Game Style Works
The redesigned wheel supports the same modes and platforms as before:
- Crowd Mode – audience-scale participation from any device
- Classroom Mode – built for teacher-led sessions
- Presenter Mode – host-controlled, full-screen display
- Assignment Mode – self-paced play for homework or async review
- Zoom and Google Meet, via standard screen share
- Mobile participation with no app download
- Random wheel spins for unbiased selection
