It’s 11:40 p.m., the snacks are gone and everyone is staring at their phones. Time for the New Year’s Eve Wheel. Spin and let chance run the party for the last hours of the year. It does not make resolutions for you, but it will pick one to ignore first.
How to use the New Year’s Eve Wheel
- The wheel loads with 10 party challenges and resolutions.
- Add your own ideas, or delete the ones nobody will do (we’re looking at “name one habit you’ll quit”).
- Spin and do whatever it lands on. Tick “Remove the winner after each spin” to avoid repeats.
New Year’s Eve party games
Short, silly and sit-down friendly beats complicated. Share your best moment of the year, toast someone with a rhyme, or predict one thing that will happen next year. Save the 10-second victory dance for after midnight. More ideas are in the Party Challenge Wheel and our 50 funny spin the wheel ideas.
Pick a resolution with a wheel
Spin for a random one, or add your own and let the wheel pick the one to start with. A small resolution you keep beats a giant one you forget by January 9.
Midnight moments
Not sure how to spend the countdown? Type in a few ideas (a toast, a group hug, a party horn, a group selfie) and spin. For a Christmas version of this page, try the Christmas Wheel.
