A networking icebreaker wheel for events
Most people at a networking session want to talk but do not know how to start. Spin this wheel on the screen at the start of the session and the whole room gets the same opening question, which takes the awkwardness out of the first minute.
Try this wheel
Spin it here. Open it as your own wheel to rename wedges, change weights, save it and show it on a big screen.
A free RepBud account runs your own wheel. No card needed; guests join without an account or app.
What is on this wheel
Your wheel opens as “Networking icebreakers” with these 9 wedges. A higher weight means a bigger wedge and a proportionally higher chance; rename, add or remove any of them.

Tips
- Spin once for the whole room and give pairs two minutes per question, then ring a change and spin again.
- Keep questions about work and interests rather than personal life, so nobody feels put on the spot.
- Put the wheel on the main screen in event mode so people across the room can read the question.
- Remove a question once it has come up so the next round brings something new.
Questions
Can I add my own questions?
Yes. Type or paste them in, one per line. The wheel shows up to 24 characters of each label, so use a short version and read the whole question aloud.
Can I stop a question coming up twice?
Yes. After each spin, remove the result and spin again. The winner log keeps a record of what has been asked.
Can I run it from the stage with my phone?
Yes. Open the wheel on the laptop driving the screen, then open Wheel remote in the free RepBud app with the same account. The phone spins the wheel on the screen.
