Use this high converting game format to engage your audience, promote your products, or highlight one of your sponsors. Spin the Wheel is a fun and entertaining format where participants spin the wheel and immediately see if they have won.

1. Add game format 🎰

The first step is to add a Game page and choose the game format Wheel of fortune by dragging and dropping it on the game page.

2. Layout πŸ“±

You can choose a layout from previously created layouts.
​

3. Prizes πŸ†

Remember to set up Prizes before you customize the rest of the game flow. You have to create the prizes before you can choose which prize connects to which slice on the wheel, in the next step below.

4. Content πŸ–₯️

First of you need to set up the size of the Wheel, and the amount of slices (you can have 4-8 slices on the wheel)

You can either edit the wheel by downloading the .psd example and customise it in your system of choice, and then upload the design as an image, OR you can use our editor and upload a photo Image (recommended size 800x800 px).

Hereafter you have to choose which prize connects to which slice on the wheel. Remember that the wheel always requires at least 1 slice without a prize. Try again is not viewed as No prize.

The Tab is the pointer at the top of the wheel, that indicates which slice you land on. You can choose to use or not use the Tab. If you choose to use it, you can customise the width, height, offset and colour of the tab - or choose an image for the tab.

Lastly, you can choose to have a Center image, that will appear in the middle of the wheel.

You can edit the size, choose whether the image should spin with the wheel, rotate offset and choose an image for the centre of the wheel.

5. Style 🎨
When editing the style you set up the Spin direction, Game direction and Rotation offset, under Settings. You can choose to have a Try again and if you enable it, you can edit the text and Try again chance.

6. Effects 🎀

You can set up different effects on your game for extra styling. You can choose between different animations and customize the transition, initial delay and settings. You also have the option to set up audio, by uploading a chosen audio for the start spin or end of spin (File formats: MP3, WAV, M4A, WMA, OGG, OGA).


​7. Advanced πŸ•ΉοΈ

If you click on advanced settings you can set up a custom CSS and create event listeners.

8. Ready for next step πŸ₯³

Nicely done! Your game format is now completed and you can now edit the page of the game, and proceed to create the rest of the game flow on the other pages.
