Why use a hobby wheel

Sixteen hobbies are on the wheel, some for indoors and some for outside. Spin one, give it a month, and see whether it sticks before you spin again.

Find something new to do
Spin instead of scrolling when nothing sounds fun.
Try one hobby a month
Spin on the first of the month and stick with the winner.
Pick a family project
Spin a hobby the whole family can try at the weekend.

This wheel wears the Spin a Yarn theme: embroidery on linen: a wooden hoop, running stitches, a felt pennant and a sewing-button hub. Your own copy keeps it, or pick another wheel theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add hobbies I already want to try?

Yes. Click “Create your own hobby picker” and add your own list of hobbies.

Is the wheel really random?

Yes. Every entry has a slice of the same size, and where the wheel stops is picked with your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues), so nobody can predict or rig the result.

Can I change the entries on this wheel?

Yes. Click “Create your own hobby picker” to save your own copy. You can then add, remove or rename entries, change the theme and spin settings, and share or embed your wheel.
