How to Turn Yes or No Questions Into a Game

Put questions on a spinner and let chance pick what gets asked. It removes the awkward pause of choosing and keeps the game moving. Add player names to a second wheel so the person who answers is random too.

  1. Paste 20 to 30 questions into the main spin the wheel tool.
  2. Add players to the wheel of names.
  3. Spin both wheels: one picks the player, the other picks the question.
  4. The player answers yes or no and explains why.
  5. Remove used questions so nothing repeats.

For a twist, let the wheel answer for you. Spin the yes or no wheel, press the yes or no button or ask the yes or no oracle, then defend the answer you got. For a party version, try the truth or dare wheel.
