Will It Go Round (also known as We Will Go Round) is a recurring concentration challenge on Survivor. Debuting under the name "Centrifuge" in Australian Survivor (2016), the challenge has since appeared in three series internationally.
While standing on a balance beam, castaways must keep a ball spinning within a wheel using centrifugal force. At regular intervals, the castaways will be made to step forward onto narrower parts of their beam. If at any point the ball drops or they fall off their beam, the castaway loses the challenge. The last castaway standing wins.

The challenge made its Survivor (U.S.) debut as the first individual Immunity Challenge in Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, with it coming down to Ashley Nolan and Desi Williams. After over 38 minutes, both women were required to move to the lowest part of the beam. Ashley fell while making the transition, giving immunity to Desi.
In Island of the Idols, the Lumuwaku tribe was divided into two teams, one of five and one of six, for a Split Tribal Council that evening. The last person standing on both teams would win immunity, and the last person standing overall would win reward for their team, as well as the right to vote second. Noura Salman beat out Dean Kowalski to win immunity on the purple team, but immediately stepped down afterwards, giving reward to the orange team. Elaine Stott then outlasted Missy Byrd to win immunity on the orange team.

In Philippines, the Araw tribe competed for a meal to enjoy in bed back at camp. After 30 minutes, Katinka Oosthuizen fell off the beam, giving Palesa Tau her first individual win.
In Return of the Outcasts, the challenge was used as the first stage of the third individual Immunity Challenge. The last six castaways still standing will progress to the next stage of the challenge; the last person standing overall will also win a Challenge Advantage in that second stage.
