Random Yes or No – Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Each spin uses Math.random() with an exact 50/50 split. The wheel has equal-sized Yes and No segments so neither outcome is favored. Getting "Yes" three times in a row is just normal variance — past results have no influence on future spins. Each spin is completely independent.

The Maybe option is optional and off by default. When enabled, it divides probability three ways. The main use case is when a binary yes/no feels too definitive for a question that genuinely has nuance — "Should I take that freelance project?" where both yes and no feel wrong. Maybe signals that more consideration is needed rather than forcing a binary commit. Most people use standard yes/no.

It works for decisions where you're indifferent between outcomes — what to have for lunch, who goes first in a game, which movie to watch. It also works by revealing your emotional reaction to the result: if the spin says "Yes" and you feel relieved, you probably wanted yes. If you feel disappointed, you wanted no. The spin surfaces a preference you already had but weren't acknowledging.

Yes — it's a clean, simple visual with no inappropriate content. Teachers use it for random student selection (yes = you answer the question, no = pass), classroom votes on activities, and probability demonstrations. Students can spin it themselves on a shared tablet or the teacher can project it and spin from the front.

Yes — you can set a custom percentage split. 70/30 yes/no means the wheel lands on yes about 70% of the time. This is useful for games where one outcome should be more common, or for teaching probability concepts where you want to demonstrate unequal distributions. The default is always 50/50.

Yes — fullscreen works and the result popup scales up to fill the screen. This is useful for classroom projection or showing a group the result clearly. The animation plays the same in fullscreen as in the normal view.

Yes — common party uses include Truth or Dare (yes = truth, no = dare), activity challenges (yes = do the thing, no = pass), and dare intensity selectors. Some party games use the wheel to pick who goes next or whether a consequence applies. The visual spin and sound effect make the result feel more dramatic than just flipping a coin, which adds to the fun in group settings.

Yes — couples frequently use it for low-stakes choices where one person suggests an activity and the wheel decides. "Should we go to the farmers market?" Spin. "Should we watch a second episode?" Spin. It removes the awkwardness of one person always choosing and the other always agreeing. For bigger decisions, the spin outcome is better used to reveal feelings rather than as a final commitment.

The results history shows your recent spins during the session. Previous results have no effect on future spins — a run of five "Yes" results doesn't increase the probability of "No" on the next spin. Each spin is statistically independent. The history is useful for tracking a series of decisions in a game, not for any predictive purpose.
