Punishment Wheel

The Punishment Wheel is a free random forfeit generator that picks a funny, harmless challenge for whoever loses a game or a round.

When someone loses, they spin the wheel and complete the forfeit it lands on. The default forfeits are silly rather than embarrassing, such as talking in an accent or doing a dance move.

Edit the list to fit your group, and keep every forfeit something the whole group is comfortable with. For more party games, try the Truth or Dare Wheel.

Punishment Wheel vs. the Group Choosing

When the group chooses a forfeit, it can easily become too much for one person. The wheel uses a list everyone agreed on in advance, so every forfeit is fair and nobody is singled out.

How to Use the Punishment Wheel

  1. Spin

    Click the wheel or the Spin button at its center, or press Ctrl + Enter.

  2. Watch It Land

    The wheel ticks past each slice and slows down. Whatever stops under the pointer lights up as the result.

  3. Keep It or Remove It

    Keep the result, or press Remove so it cannot come up again.

  4. Go Again

    Spin as often as you like. The Results tab lists every result.
