Spin Results
No more arguing about who does what. Spin the wheel to assign chores fairly between roommates, partners, kids or housemates — save your household’s setup and reload it every week.

Chore rotas fail for one reason: someone writes them, and that someone is suspected of giving themselves the easy weeks. A wheel has no author. When it lands on the bathroom, nobody assigned it, and the “why is it always me” argument never starts. The randomness is the social proof of fairness.
It also copes with real life better than a spreadsheet. Someone moves out, a new flatmate arrives, a chore stops mattering — edit the wheel in ten seconds instead of redrawing the grid on the fridge.
Chores on the wheel: each person spins and gets whatever lands. Best for households where everyone can do every job. Use Eliminate so each chore is handed out once. Names on the wheel: go through the chore list and spin for a name per chore. Best when you want to read out “and the bins go to…” with some drama. Either way, save the preset and the Sunday-night spin takes two minutes.
For chores that must be done more often than others, put them on the wheel twice. Dishes daily, dusting monthly? Two dishes slices and one dusting slice reflects the real workload.
Spin at a fixed time — Sunday after dinner is the usual — so it becomes a ritual rather than a negotiation. Allow one trade per week: two people can swap chores if both agree, which handles the flatmate who genuinely cannot do the bins because of a late shift. Add a “Free pass” slice only if the household is generous about it; if the free pass causes more arguments than the chores, remove it. Write the finished assignments somewhere visible, because the wheel does not keep a record past the results panel.
A random wheel is fair over a month but not within a single week; someone can land the bathroom three Sundays running. If that will cause friction, use Eliminate across weeks (remove last week’s chore from each person’s options) or fall back to a strict rota for the worst job only. And if the issue is that one person does most of the work regardless of what the wheel says, the wheel will not fix that — a conversation will.
