How to use the Cartoon Character Wheel
The Cartoon Character Wheel picks a well-known cartoon character to draw, act out or guess. Here's how to choose a list and turn the result into a game.
Quick start
- Start with Mixed, or pick Classic, Heroes or Funny.
- Spin to land on a character.
- Draw them from memory, act them out, or describe them for others to guess.
- Add the characters your group loves.
Choose a list
Mixed covers classics and modern favourites, Classic sticks to golden-age characters, Heroes is all adventurers and superheroes, and Funny is the comedy crowd. Everything is names only, so you draw the character yourself.
Game ideas
- Draw it in 60 seconds, then everyone guesses who it is.
- Describe the character without saying their name.
- Act it out, charades style.
- Spin two and invent a crossover story.
Everyone gets a different character
After each pick, press Remove & spin again: that character comes off the wheel and the next player spins straight away, so nobody gets a repeat. This is an unofficial fan wheel; names belong to their owners.
Great for
- Drawing-from-memory challenges
- Charades and Pictionary
- Costume ideas
- Cartoon trivia
- Kids' party games
- Animation class warm-ups

This page uses the same wheel as the homepage, so all the usual options work here too. The full wheel guide explains each one with pictures:
