"Instant setup. WooHoo offers a variety of games — most other gamified lead apps only offer the spin wheel. We've found WooHoo's lead form very effective."
The pick-a-gift popup. Choice beats chance.
Three sealed boxes, one the shopper opens themselves. Same email-capture engine as the wheel — weighted prize odds, anti-cheat, mobile layouts — but the shopper does the choosing. Built for stores where a spinning wheel would feel off-brand.
The shopper decides.
That changes everything.
A wheel decides for the visitor. A pick-a-gift asks them to choose — and the act of choosing pulls different psychological levers. Same family as our gamified popups, tuned for a different kind of store.
Choice beats chance.
When a wheel spins, the outcome happens to the shopper. When they pick a box, they own the decision — and people value what they chose more than what they were handed. The reward feels earned before it's even revealed.
No casino chrome.
Spinning wheels carry a carnival feel that fits some stores and fights others. A row of quiet gift boxes reads as premium — it works for luxury, home, and beauty brands where a slot-machine wheel would look wrong on the page.
Sealed beats shown.
A box you can't see into is an open loop the brain wants closed. The shopper enters an email to find out what they picked — the email is a side effect of satisfying curiosity, not the ask itself.
When to use which.
Two mechanics, one engine. The discount spin wheel has the most data behind it — a median of 13.2% in our campaigns. Pick-a-gift is the choice when brand tone matters more than spectacle.
| Pick-a-gift | Spin-the-wheel | |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanic | Shopper picks a sealed box | Shopper spins a weighted wheel |
| Feel | Calm, premium, considered | High-energy, playful, carnival |
| Best verticals | Luxury, home, beauty, editorial | Fashion, DTC, BFCM, high-traffic |
| Discount visibility | Hidden until the box opens | All prizes visible on the wheel |
| Public data | ● Newer format | ● Most-measured mechanic |
// Honest read: the wheel has more data. Pick-a-gift wins on brand tone.

Pick-a-gift isn't a separate product — it's a new front-end on the same capture engine that powers every WooHoo game. Everything the wheel does, the boxes do too.
Weighted odds per box.
Set the probability behind each gift independently. The headline prize can sit at 0.5% — about 1 in 200 — while the everyday offer carries the rest.
Advanced targeting.
The same trigger rules as the wheel: visit count, scroll depth, exit intent, frequency caps, and calendar scheduling for BFCM and launches.
Anti-cheat, built in.
Weighted odds, IP rate limiting, and disposable-email blocking travel with the mechanic — nobody games their way to the big box.
Email before reveal.
The box opens after the email is entered, not before. This single ordering cuts fake emails by 73% and keeps your list clean.
Separate mobile layouts.
Design the desktop and mobile versions independently, so three boxes never cramp a phone screen. Captures route to your ESP by list and tag.
A/B testing on every plan.
Test pick-a-gift against the wheel, or box copy against box copy — A/B testing ships in every tier, including the free plan.
Shipping now to early stores.
