CLASSIC DRAW

How does a classic Secret Santa draw work?

The generator assigns every participant one other person in the group. Nobody can draw themselves. Each person buys for their assigned recipient, so everyone gives one gift and receives one.

  • Works with odd or even groups.
  • Supports 3–50 people.
  • Can be organized in person or remotely.

SNEAKY SANTA

How do you play Sneaky Santa?

Nobody buys for a specific recipient. Every player brings one wrapped gift. The generator assigns a turn order and a secret role that can steal, protect, or swap presents.

  • Designed for 3–50 players.
  • Gifts stay wrapped while powers are resolved.
  • Open them after the final power.
