Running a Secret Santa instead? Use the Secret Santa generator, which keeps each person's match private.

Frequently asked questions

How does the generator pick the order?
Your browser shuffles the names with a secure random number generator, so every order is equally likely.
Are the names stored anywhere?
No. The shuffle happens in your browser, and plzly never receives the names.
Can I shuffle again?
Yes. Press reshuffle as often as you like, but agree with the group in advance that the first result stands.
Does player 1 have an advantage?
Player 1 goes first and can only open a gift, but most groups give them a final swap at the end. See the white elephant rules for the common house rules.
Is this the same as the Secret Santa generator?
No. White elephant is public: everyone sees the turn order. The Secret Santa generator keeps each person's match private.
