How to run a chore wheel at home
Write every chore that needs doing this week, one per line. Each family member or roommate takes a turn to spin; the chore the wheel lands on is theirs and is removed from the wheel, so nobody gets the same job twice. Keep going until every chore is assigned. Next week, press Reset to restore the full list.
Why a random chore wheel works
- Nobody can claim the job assignment was unfair — the wheel picked it.
- Kids are more willing to do jobs they "won" in a game.
- Everyone rotates through the unpopular chores over time.
- It is quick: assigning chores for the week takes a minute.
Tips for kids and roommates
For young children, include easy jobs like feeding pets or watering plants and let them spin first. For roommates, add bigger tasks such as "deep clean fridge" once a month. Your list is saved in your browser, and "Copy link" shares the exact wheel in your house group chat.
Make your own wheel
Everything on this wheel can be changed: edit the entries box to add, remove or rename slices, and your version is saved in this browser. To start from a blank wheel, use the main spin the wheel page.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make sure each chore is only assigned once?
"Remove winner after spin" is turned on by default on this page, so each chore is taken off the wheel once it has been picked.
Can I add my own chores?
Yes. Edit the entries box — one chore per line. The wheel and your saved list update instantly.
How do I start fresh next week?
Press Reset to put back every entry that was removed during the last round.
