Wheel of Monotony Overhaul

UPDATE, October 19: A new issue with the wheel has appeared as of yesterday, October 18; the vast majority of users are now experiencing an 'error' at the end of the two-hour wheel spin whereupon no prizes are received. Until this is fixed, we do not recommend spending time on the wheel.



UPDATE, October 16, ~1:00 PM NST: The wheel speed appears to have been reverted back to taking two hours.



Some big changes have come through at the Wheel of Monotony. Most notably, it's not so monotonous anymore! It now takes securely under a minute to finish spinning.


Additionally, there seems to be a few new prizes:


Spin the wheel this morning, and let us know in the comments how quickly it span, what slot you landed on, and what prize you received! We'll be working on updating our guide with any changes throughout the day.

There are 246 comments below. Add yours!

Mine spun for about 15 seconds, landed on 14
Popup said "Better luck next time. Come back when you have a lot of time to kill. ... You've earned a visit to the Lair of the Beast! Be warned, the beast doesn't like visitors."

Clicking enter led to a dead page (https://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/thebeast4.phtml), not sure if that existed before or not though cause I never spun monotony.
by chekkie on October 16, 2025 6:46 AM NST

Neat, can't wait to spin it! Does this mean it might get added as a wheel option in Quest Log?

That's kind of a bummer. Yeah it's super annoying, but that was the point. As a kid it felt like I had to leave it spinning for hours (on dialup I probably did, lmao)
by capgal1 on October 16, 2025 7:05 AM NST
Very fast spin and I landed on 14) A visit to the Lair of the Beast - but when I got to The Beast's page I got the message "Adobe Flash No Longer Supported" - so I guess he's gone on vacation (so couldn't steal any of my pet's HP!)

Spin 2: Coconut Juice Bowl (gourmet food)
by ashmoro on October 16, 2025 8:20 AM NST
On the one hand, I get it. I think nobody would have spun the wheel if not for the avatar (and the same thing goes for the wheel of misfortune. The others at least have some tempting prizes without too much risk or cost). But I think they could have had it be at least a couple of minutes.

by a_holly22 on October 16, 2025 9:27 AM NST
Kinda hate this decision tbh. Maybe they could have put a time limit of an hour on it instead of removing the whole point of the wheel completely. I feel like some of these changes they've introduced like this and your pet refusing to eat certain foods or read certain books really take away a lot of the charm and quirkiness of the site
by morules_99 on October 16, 2025 9:27 AM NST
It took ~10 seconds to spin, and it landed on the question mark (spot 4) which gave me a notice that I'd won the avatar! Though I won this avatar many years ago, and it didn't give any indication of that fact-- it just acted like it was the first time I'd ever landed on that spot & won that prize
by snikkeler_doodle on October 16, 2025 9:30 AM NST
I wish they extended the time to at least like 10 minutes? It's called the Wheel of MONOTONY...idk. That way it would make things less of a burden but also keep a bit of the charm.

Happy theres a prize update though, that's always great to see! The p3s are sooo cute.
by cynnibunn on October 16, 2025 9:34 AM NST
a typical spin time honestly, it just clicked slowly. maybe 10-15 seconds? i landed on ? question mark and got the avatar
by blackbeaks on October 16, 2025 9:37 AM NST
People in 2025 don't have the patience to wait for an ever-spinning wheel. Then again, Flash allowed for you to look at a different tab while it kept spinning, but HTML5 is less forgiving..
by apophis324 on October 16, 2025 9:38 AM NST
Didn't get an accurate timing but I landed on Slot 4 and it says You found an avatar! Yay! I already had the avatar from years ago.

About time! I try every so often, but it ALWAYS reloads the page after a few mins!

First spin.. Landed on what looks like an empty gold name plate. It gave me..

“Not bad! Was your prize worth the wait?

You got a lottery ticket! If you win the lottery you'll be Neomailed automatically!”

Second spin.. I landed on what looked like a dark red pterodactyl?

“ Better luck next time. Come back when you have a lot of time to kill.

You've earned a visit to the Lair of the Beast! Be warned, the beast doesn't like visitors.”

Gave an enter button that I clicked, but just a white page..?

I saw the update only after spinning the wheel and was just so utterly confused
Kinda sad that it just... Makes no sense to call it wheel of monotony since it's so fast now, but honestly, I had my fair share of losing a spin after many hours due to numerous issues beyond my control, so THAT is something I'm not gonna miss.

by xbyramcutiex on October 16, 2025 12:24 PM NST
Wow, rotten luck. Very short spin times - less than 20 seconds both times - and both times I got lair of the beast. Because I have Ruffle installed I was at least able to enjoy him in all his glory!

they must have tweaked the spin time since this post went up because it's been spinning for over 5 minutes for me now (which i don't mind because imo the bit of it actually taking a long time is funny)

Hrrrm, maybe we need to restart our machines, those of us who have long times. Or maybe it's like the Attack on Altador where some machines run it properly and ours... don't. It's thirteen minutes (so far) for me, and the click sound of the spin is gone because my screen greyed out.

I've tried three times, but give up after 10 minutes. This sucks.
by masimond on October 16, 2025 2:54 PM NST
Gave up after four minutes. I should've tried it while it was going quickly rather than saving for later.

Aww man should’ve done my spin when I saw the first update haha. I rlly want that adorable petpetpet it’s like a dust bunny!
by rohnaldomoon on October 16, 2025 3:14 PM NST
Been over an hour for me, so far. The ticking sound effect stopped after maybe about a minute or so?
By now, even the Quiggle working the wheel is checking his sundial (just like kiwimania described)! Double the lol.
. . . .Just shy of 2 hours! Lair Beast icon, earned a trip to the Lair Beast.

Well that was fun! *thumbs up*!

This is minor, but while I'm glad they added new prizes I wish they'd update some of the useless spots like the volcano or faerie wings to do something, even if it's negative.

started two and a half hours ago and the wheel hast stopped yet
by yuunyanshi on October 16, 2025 4:57 PM NST
I waited for over 2,5 hours for it to stop spinning.. It's 2:20am..
And it ended on the ? ...and clicking it does nothing.
I mean, I already had the avatar, so whatever, but it's acting as if it hasn't stopped yet and I can't collect my prize even though it's been stuck on the ? for minutes.

I'm disappointed I didn't even get anything after 2,5 hours but at the same time I'm glad I didn't win anything because if it was gonna glitch like this I'd rather it NOT be on the stamp or petpetpet spot :/

Better luck next time. Come back when you have a lot of time to kill.

I thought I'd add it's really annoying that after waiting for a long time, there's many slots that still don't do anything. I think a few of them could have been reworked to do something good.

Like, I wish that Slot 12 would raise a random stat of the active pet by 5 or something. Slot 1 could increase the size of your gallery by one (because of volcano powers? I dunno. XD) Just take away some of the useless slots. I guess the Lair of the Beast can be kept, since it's a classic jump scare. (Hey! Maybe that can be the next avatar idea?) The avatar slot, after you get the avatar, I'm not sure what could be done with it. Maybe it would give 50 or 100 NC if you landed on it again? 8) Just my two cents.

I think 2+ hours is crazy now that most people play on their phones.
You could easily run out of battery before it even stops spinning.
And can you even use your phone at all during those 2 hours? Because on PC you need to keep the tab visible iirc so how would that even work on phone?

Probably will continue ignoring this wheel from here on out, though; too many 'meh' to 'bad' prizes to be spinning so long for.
by thighs1 on October 17, 2025 12:46 PM NST
I'm sad they fixed it. Monotony is the most glitchy wheel for me, so since the changed was reverted, it's not worth waiting 2 hours to maybe get a prize. Back to ignoring this wheel I guess. :\

I am reminded why I have never paid any attention to this wheel. It is unbelievable that they think anyone's going to bother with this garbage. Not only is it taking forever, but it is so erratic in its spinning, it'll spin faster and then it'll slow down, then it'll stop completely for a while. It's impossible to tell if it's even working. And I know that by the end of this I'm just going to get some garbage. I will never be spinnng this again.

by anja1122334455 on October 17, 2025 11:19 PM NST
For everyone who was asking about the timing of this wheel, it's called The Wheel of Monotony for a reason. It is a wheel that spins for hours - literal hours - and gives useless prizes. The fact that it was only spinning a short time the other day was obviously a bug. I think everyone had hoped and thought that they had fixed it so there wasn't so boring and useless, but really all they've done is make it even worse.

Iis completely not worth anyone's time. And no, it does not work well on mobile because of the way app focus is handled on mobile, and it will continually fail.

There is really no point in doing it unless you have a desktop computer and can start spinning and walk away for like 3 hours. Even then it's just going to give you garbage, so there's no real point to it.

If there are any ambassadors in the chat. When it goes 2 hours it errors out. Maybe it could be a maximum of 5 min. That would still be monotonous. If it does not get changed, I will not play it again. I am not the only one who feels this way.

First spin went through, second one doesn't ever finish, keep getting an error. All I've landed on is the Liar of the Beast, Space 14. Like others if only one spin works and it's always the same Liar of the Beast, back it goes in moth balls.

lol, I tried to spin it once after they made it 2 hours again, my cpu immediately got dangerously hot and I closed the tab. Unless they can let it run passively in the background without taking up a ton of resources for no reason, they just need to lose the bit. The Wheel of Monotony is a relic from a different time indeed.

Wow, the wheel of monotony Is such a garbage waste of time
by maninshi on October 19, 2025 11:34 AM NST
Notes:

* The wheel lasts exactly 2 hours, assuming it's in a tab that's visible. (Having it in a hidden tab while doing other things can make it take longer). Usually the trick is to open it in its own window and just have it visually hidden behind another window.
* Something in the code is currently causing it to load the sound every single time it ticks, which overheats a lot of computers. This can be negated by pressing the mute button ON the wheel page (not in your browser).
* Ambassadors have communicated with TNT about both the code issue and the error issue.
by suzuka on October 19, 2025 11:49 AM NST JN Staff

“ Until this is fixed, we do not recommend spending time on the wheel.”

Me: Even if it was fixed, I still wouldn’t waste my time, especially at 2hr spins.

Even if I ignore how long it takes.. Now and in the past, whenever I decided to spin.. Regardless of the fact that I just keep the page open and leave it, it ALWAYS refreshes the page after about 5mins. Always annoying me. 😑 No matter the type of device! Just wastes my nps, and even if I am way better off nps wise, compared to the past.. I still don’t want to waste my nps, on it making me rage.
by reiryokuryuu on October 19, 2025 3:50 PM NST
Extremely annoying, it crashes after more than an hour, and twice in a row. Why do you have to take this wheel that runs for so long and then isn't even good, but just terrible, without even getting to the price. So that's a bad choice for such a price, the new stamp that I really want
by krinalein on October 19, 2025 3:55 PM NST
This wheel was always a terrible idea, and now it's even worse because a lot of people are on mobile and will never have a wheel spinning for 2 hours on their phone. It's just the stupidest idea of all time, made worse by the way times have changed and this hasn't.

There's really no rationale for making this wheel spin for longer than 10-15 minutes. It doesn't award anything to justify the time spent - it never has. Frankly I'd completely forgotten it existed until the supposed overhaul, and now I'm just angry they're trying to revive a terrible idea like this.
by neolodgeism on October 19, 2025 4:10 PM NST
yeah no one should be sitting here for hours for this wheel
by offensivedave on October 19, 2025 4:21 PM NST
Neolodgeism: Not everything has to be mobile-friendly. In fact, the mobile version of the site looks terrible compared to the desktop version. If you don't find the point of the wheel in a prehistoric land, just don't turn it. But you can't expect to convert all of the site's functions to work at today's speed, otherwise the game becomes boring and easy, and your fun lasts only a second

by devouredsoul on October 19, 2025 7:14 PM NST
if your "fun" involves staring at a spinning wheel for two hours straight that's pretty concerning tbh, i would suggest finding a job, going outside, or anything other than Neopets
by mortychichi on October 19, 2025 7:44 PM NST
i get why they would not want this wheel to be as fast as the others (i mean its literally the point to it), but this system just doesnt work. they could have easily just made it so you can do anything else while it spins and just come back hours later
by diamondjirachi on October 19, 2025 11:43 PM NST
@diamondjirachi: I'm honestly not so sure that they can do that. None of the HTML5 things they've made, be they wheels or games, actually continue to function when you look away. When I do my dailies (on desktop), I go past the Wheels of Mediocrity, Excitement and Knowledge simultaneously. But in order to keep them spinning, I have to click between the three tabs they are on to make sure they actually keep spinning. My guess is that this is just one of HTML5's limitations and how it's different from the Flash we were used to.
That's why people forget the Wheel of Monotony even exists, for it only works/worked when you kept the tab open for as long as it needed to complete its spin. And even if the spin only lasted five minutes (which is still a lot longer than the other wheels), people would still want to be able to click away, do something else. That is how I think things are anyway, but I could very well be wrong.

The Wheel being broken as it is now though, that might be a sign of TNT's lack of competence. But that's a different can of worms entirely
by apophis324 on October 20, 2025 12:39 AM NST
@aiotex - As others have pointed out, there's nothing fun about a wheel that spins for 2 hours. And I find that entire line of thinking hilarious considering all of the people on desktop who are constantly whining about feeling left out of the apps and the mobile features.

I play both on desktop and on mobile, and I care about accessibility for everyone, not just myself. For that reason I think that it is extremely backward and misguided for TNT to do an 'overhaul' of the wheel that does not take into consideration the fact that a huge percentage of players are on mobile exclusively.

All that aside, it's not fun for people on desktop either, so they should rethink the entire thing.
by neolodgeism on October 20, 2025 12:43 AM NST
I think 3-5 minutes a spin would sufficiently retain the bit for the attention-addled population now. With all social media spinning by rapidly with 10 second videos and such, having a wheel spin for 3-5 solid minutes and forcing you to sit there is plenty.

But yeah, it'd be great if it didn't overheat my cpu in those 5 minutes.
by kiriska on October 20, 2025 12:52 AM NST
@apophis324 - I think they should try to get creative and find a new way to handle the wheel, because this is obviously not working.

It doesn't need to be HTML5 entirely. They could make it sort of like Grave Danger, where when you click to begin the event, the system sets a timer. So when somebody clicks to 'spin' the wheel, in the background a timer is set, the wheel animation plays, and the person doesn't know how long the timer has been set for.

Just like with Grave Danger, the person can go about their business and check back at any point. Every time they check back, the wheel spins (as long as the timer has not expired).

The animation plays as long as the timer has not expired, but unlike a regular wheel it can't be interrupted by leaving the page or even refreshing it.

Once the timer expires the wheel transitions to a second animation of the wheel slowing down and stopping. A prize delivery message is then shown.

This would enable anyone to play the wheel just like Grave Danger - without having to constantly have it active on their computer or phone. For all appearances it still looks and functions like a wheel but in the background it functions more like Grave Danger than a traditional wheel.

I think this would be a much more accessible and simpler way to deal with it.
by neolodgeism on October 20, 2025 12:56 AM NST
And I do agree, 5 or 10 minutes of spinning in this day and age is plenty monotonous enough.
by neolodgeism on October 20, 2025 12:58 AM NST
I really like that idea, @neolodgeism.
IF they could properly get it to function like that, I wouldn't mind it going back to taking more than 2 hours, even. But if we're going with the "keep the tab open or else" method, it should be 10, maaaybe 30 minutes tops.

And it bothers me how many of the slots still do nothing.
Of the three spins I've successfully managed to complete, I got:
The avatar I already had, lost hit points, and the volcano. So that's 6 hours only to get absolutely nothing. And then there's also the faerie spot AND the lair of the beast that also gives you nothing...
It spins for 2 hours and half the slots on the wheel don't even give you a prize.

by therulerofall1 on October 20, 2025 6:29 PM NST
Back in the day there was a link you could go to for your reward, so you could just straight up leave the wheel page or shut down your computer and claim your reward later. Honestly, that being phased out was a massive disappointment as it was, and with it not even liking to cooperate with running in the background even more so. I would be down for something more Grave Danger esque to regain functionality that we frankly did have before, in a way that's more transparent to users.
by cryptated on October 21, 2025 3:11 PM NST
@biediep - So true, most of the slots do nothing worth waiting for. That is another reason why I think the Grave Danger approach I described would be more appealing. I still do Grave Danger regularly even though I always get garbage. However, I don't mind getting garbage most of the time for a chance to get something better. But if I have to keep a tab open for 2 hours, there's no way. They could put in there anything they want and I'm not going to bother trying. That's just too much hassle.
