Thankfully the partner specifically supplied us with the image of a more 'wheel of fortune' like prize wheel, that being the vertical, elevation of a wheel that spins centered on the screen with all prizes visually rotating around the center point. When initially approached about this idea I was expecting the request to be recreating something along the lines of the wheel featured on 'the price is right' with one prize being visible at the front with the wheel rotating around vertically 'in front' of the users. Skip to the CodePen demo to see it in action if you don't want to read about the how and the why. Making it look like it's different each time, when really they'll always get the same prize! You can refresh as much as you want, but the prize will always be the same. The prize is predetermined, however in an effort to keep things interesting we introduced a bit of randomness, where the user's prize would appear at different positions on the wheel for each page load. Recently a partner got in touch asking if we could do a 'wheel of fortune' style spinner when they visit the page revealing the prize a customer had won.

A lot of what I do at Points is to bring to life small experiences to engage customers following some form of email or them arriving at our partner's storefronts.
