A fair way to land on a country

Handy for classroom geography and a trivia night alike, the random country picker wheel spins across all 195 countries: every UN member state, plus the Holy See and Palestine. Each country gets an equal share of the wheel. Switch to Oceania to stay close to home, or to Asia or Europe for a longer-haul pick, and every result arrives with its flag.

How the country picker works

  1. Choose one or more continents, or leave all countries on the wheel.
  2. Untick the countries you want to skip.
  3. Spin to reveal the country, its flag and its continent, then remove it before the next spin if you want no repeats.

Ideas for a random country

  • Give each student a country to research for a geography assignment.
  • Run a flags round at a trivia night: spin, then everyone guesses the capital.
  • Pick the cuisine for a themed dinner with mates.
  • Draw countries for an office sweepstake.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a random country for a class activity?

Spin a random country picker wheel in front of the class so everyone sees the draw is fair, then give that country to the next student. Removing each country once it is drawn means no two students research the same place.

How many countries are there in Oceania?

Oceania has 14 independent countries: Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand are the largest, alongside Pacific nations such as Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu. Territories such as New Caledonia and French Polynesia are not counted because they are not independent states.

How can I pick a random holiday destination?

Filter a random country picker wheel to the region your budget and flight time allow, untick anywhere you have already been, and spin. Keeping only realistic options on the wheel means the winner is a trip you could actually book.

What trivia questions work with a random country?

Ask for the capital, the currency, the language or a country that shares its border, awarding points for each correct answer. A random country makes every round different, and limiting the wheel to one continent lets you set the difficulty.

Can I take a country off the wheel after it wins?

The SpinnerWheel country picker removes the winning country with one tap after each spin, so it cannot be drawn again until you put the whole list back.
