Since at least the mid-1990s, Wheel of Fortune has had various official and unofficial adaptations.
1996-2000, 2022-: Wheel of Fortune Live[]
- Main article: Wheel of Fortune Live
A touring live show allowing local people the opportunity to play a reduced-scale version of Wheel of Fortune for real prizes, similarly to The Price Is Right Live. The original version was sponsored by Game Show Network with Bob Eubanks and Michael Burger serving as hosts; when revived in 2022, Clay Aiken and Mark L. Walberg alternated in these roles.
1997-98: Wheel 2000[]
- Main article: Wheel 2000
September 13, 1997 saw the debut of a Saturday-morning children's version hosted by David Sidoni with puzzle board and announcing duties held by the motion-capture CGI "Cyber Lucy" (Tanika Ray). First-run episodes aired concurrently on CBS and GSN through February 7, 1998.
2003: Wheel O' Fortune[]
A stage show done at Chumash Casino on at least December 2, 2003, hosted by Chuck Woolery (who entered to "Big Wheels"). Seven games of two puzzles each were played, each game calling a new group of three from the audience. The Wheel had 24 wedges: one each of Bankrupt, Lose A Turn, Free Spin, $300, and $500; various values from $25-$200; and two $1,000. Vowels cost $25.
Audience members who were not called were given an opportunity to win $250 by finding a star under their chair. The show also had promos for Lingo plus songs sung by Chuck after two puzzles (specifically AIN'T MISBEHAVIN and I'M FOOLIN MYSELF).
Amusingly, the stage show brought Woolery full-circle: the Wheel was vertical, much like that of the Shopper's Bazaar pilot 30 years earlier.
2013: Wheel of Fun[]
A mini-game done as part of a Fox & Friends series on "The Great American Game Show", with The Game Show Source providing the props and software. Woolery was scheduled to host, but got stuck at an airport and could not make it in time; as a result, Steve Doocy took the reins.
Two of the other games played during the week were Survey Says (Family Feud) hosted by Louie Anderson and In It to Win It (Minute To Win It) hosted by Shadoe Stevens.
