Speeding up team-event planning
Planning a team event often involves someone gathering a handful of activity ideas and then a slow back-and-forth trying to reach consensus. If every option on the shortlist is genuinely something the team would enjoy, a spin can settle it immediately rather than dragging the decision out over another meeting or thread.
This works best when the shortlist has already been filtered to activities that fit the budget, group size, and setting — the wheel is for breaking a tie among good options, not for picking blind.
