Free crowd game

Happy Hour Wheel

Put your specials on a big neon wheel on the bar TV. One guest spins from their phone, the wheel lands, and that special is live for the whole room. It stays on screen with a countdown until the next spin unlocks, so every quarter hour has something new to order.

Free with every Nightcap account. No credit card.

How it runs

A new special every fifteen minutes

Set your specials

From the dashboard, load the wheel with the specials you want to move tonight and how often each should land.

Put it on the TV

Open the link on the bar's screen. The wheel idles under a join QR code until somebody takes the spin.

One spin, whole bar

A guest scans and spins from their phone. The wheel lands on the TV, the special goes live for everyone, and the countdown to the next spin starts.

The special stays up until the next spin

The wheel holds on the winning slice and the TV shows the special with a countdown, so nobody has to ask what is on. Fifteen minutes later the QR comes back and the next guest spins.

Nothing to hand out or track

No paper coupons, no bartender keeping a list. The wheel picks the special, shows it on the TV and on the phone that spun, and the bar just pours it.

Questions

Happy Hour Wheel FAQ

Is Happy Hour Wheel free?

Yes. It is one of the seven crowd games included at no cost with every Nightcap account.

How is it different from Happy Hour Spins?

Same idea, a different machine. Spins is a slot machine; the Wheel is a big spinning wheel that stays on the winning special until the next spin, fifteen minutes later by default.

How often can it be spun?

Once every fifteen minutes by default, so a special has time to sell. You can set the wait anywhere from none to an hour.

Do guests need an app?

No. They scan the QR code on the TV and spin from their own phones.

Let the wheel pick tonight's special.
