Yes no maybe wheel
Ask a question, spin, and the wheel lands on Yes, No or Maybe, each with a one-in-three chance. The third slice keeps things playful: it suits party rounds, silly questions and moments when a flat yes or no feels too final.
Press Spin, click the wheel, or press Ctrl + Enter.

How to play with the yes no maybe wheel
Decide what Maybe means
Agree before the first spin: does Maybe mean “spin again”, “the group votes” or “ask me tomorrow”? Settling it early avoids arguments later.
Ask and spin
Say the question out loud, then press Spin or tap the wheel. The pointer at the top shows the answer and a pop-up confirms it.
Keep a record if you like
Every answer lands in the results list, so you can copy a whole round of questions and answers into a group chat afterwards.
What is a yes no maybe wheel for?
It is for questions where the stakes are low and the fun is in the answer. A third slice lets the wheel dodge, tease or leave you hanging, which is exactly what you want at a sleepover, a birthday party or a slow Friday afternoon at work.
If you need a firm decision instead, the two-slice yes or no wheel gives you no escape hatch.
What are the odds on a yes no maybe wheel?
The three slices are the same size, so each answer comes up about one time in three. Over an evening you will see streaks, such as three Maybes in a row; that is ordinary chance rather than a stuck wheel, as our page on how the spins are picked explains.
Want Maybe to be rarer? Switch on weights in Settings and give Yes and No a weight of 2 each while Maybe stays at 1. Maybe then wins one spin in five, and Yes and No two in five each.
Party games with Yes, No and Maybe
- The oracle. One player sits in the “oracle chair” and answers every question with a spin, then has to invent a convincing reason for the answer on the spot.
- Maybe means forfeit. Whoever gets Maybe tells a joke, sings a line of a song or does a silly walk before the next question.
- Prediction round. Before each spin, everyone guesses the answer. A correct guess scores a point, and the first to five wins.
- Plan the weekend. Write down five weekend ideas and spin once for each. Yes goes on the plan, No is crossed off and Maybe goes to a family vote.
Short on questions? Our list of 100 yes or no questions works just as well with a Maybe slice, and the spin the wheel party games guide has more rounds to try.
How do I turn Maybe into something else?
Click the word Maybe in the option list beside the wheel and type over it. Popular swaps are “Ask again”, “Ask Mum”, “Not today” and “Only if it rains”. You can also add a fourth slice, such as “Definitely”, to give the wheel a fortune-teller feel; the magic 8-ball wheel takes that idea all the way to twenty answers.
Each option has its own colour swatch, so you can keep green for Yes and red for No, or match a party theme. Changes are saved in your browser straight away, and Reset to default in Settings brings back the original three.
Using the wheel with a class or a team
In a classroom, a yes no maybe spin makes a quick debate warm-up. Read a statement such as “Homework should be optional”, spin, and the student argues whichever side the wheel lands on, with Maybe meaning they must argue both. Put the wheel in full screen so the back row can see the pointer, and pick the speaker with the random name picker.
Frequently asked questions
Is Maybe as likely as Yes and No?
Yes. The three slices are equal, so each answer has a one-in-three chance on every spin. If you want Maybe to come up less often, turn on weights in Settings and give it a smaller number than Yes and No.
Can I remove Maybe and go back to yes or no?
Yes. Press the small cross next to Maybe in the option list and the wheel redraws with two equal slices. The separate yes or no wheel page is already set up that way if you prefer a clean start.
What should Maybe mean in a game?
Anything your group agrees on before the first spin. Common house rules are “spin again”, “the group decides”, “answer with a joke” or “come back to this question later”. Deciding first keeps the game moving.
Can I add more answers, such as Definitely or Never?
Yes. Type each new answer in the box beside the wheel and press Enter. Every answer gets an equal slice unless you switch on weights, so four answers means a one-in-four chance for each.
How do I show the wheel on a big screen?
Use the full screen button. The wheel fills the display, which works well on a classroom projector, a living-room TV or a video call where you share your screen with the group.
