About the Punishment Wheel
A punishment wheel gives the loser of a game a harmless task. The twelve forfeits here are silly rather than humiliating: sing, dance, speak in rhymes or walk like a penguin. Everyone laughs, and nobody gets hurt or embarrassed beyond the intended level. It keeps penalties light and lets the wheel be the villain.
Blind mode is on, so the segment labels are hidden until the wheel stops. That keeps the suspense and prevents players from arguing about which forfeit they hope to avoid. Edit the list for your group, remove anything that does not fit, and keep forfeits short enough that the game continues quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Are the forfeits safe?
They are mild and require no props, but players should skip anything they are uncomfortable with. Edit the list to suit your group.
What is blind mode?
Blind mode hides the segment labels while the wheel spins, so the result is a surprise. Turn it off in settings if you want players to see the options.
Can I use it for kids?
Yes, with a quick review. Remove forfeits that are too physical or personal, and add easier ones.
Is the punishment wheel fair?
Yes. The winner is picked with the browser's cryptographic random number generator before the animation starts. The fairness check in the menu can run 10,000 simulated draws so you can compare expected and observed results.
