Questions
Is every theme equally likely?
Yes. Each of the 16 party themes has a 1 in 16 chance, and each dress-up day, art theme or story theme has a 1 in 12 chance on its own wheel. The slices are equal, and your browser's cryptographic random number generator picks where the wheel stops.
Can I plan a whole spirit week?
Yes. Press Dress-up days, tick Remove the winner after each spin, and spin five times.
How many themes are on the wheel?
Party themes has 16. Dress-up days, Art themes and Story themes have 12 each.
Can I use my own themes?
Yes. Clear the options box and type your own, one per line. Your list is saved in this browser, so it is still there for next week's party or class.
