Three-Way Decisions
Assign each option a number (1, 2, or 3) and let the wheel pick. Perfect when you can’t decide between three choices.

Turn Order
Decide who goes first, second, and third. Spin once for each person and assign order based on results.

When you need a three-way random selection but don’t want to play RPS, spin the wheel instead.
