The steps
Nobody signs up, and nothing is emailed.
- The host creates a room with a room name and their own name.
- Share the six-character code, the invite link or the QR code.
- Each guest joins with a name and adds a private wish list.
- The host sets a budget, an exchange date and any exclusions.
- Once at least 3 people have joined, the host draws. The draw is final.
- Each guest opens their match from their own personal link.
How guests come back
Without accounts, your personal link is how you return to your match and wish list. Save it and keep it private, because anyone who has it can open your page and there is no account recovery.
What the host sees
The host sees who has joined and whether the draw is done, never who drew whom.
Common questions
Do I need an account or email to run a Secret Santa draw?
No. The host creates a room with a room name and their own name, and guests join with a name. Nobody signs up or gives an email address. Each person gets a personal link, so save it to come back.
How do people join a room?
Share the six-character room code, the invite link or the QR code from the stage. A room holds up to 50 people, and at least 3 are needed to draw.
Can I redraw after names are drawn?
No. The draw is final once it runs, so confirm the guest list, exclusions, budget and date first.
How long does a room last?
A room with only its host closes seven days after creation. Once a guest joins, it stays open for at least 60 days after creation, or 30 days after the exchange date if one is set, capped at 120 days after creation.
What if I lose my personal link?
There is no account recovery, because there is no account. Keep your personal link private and saved; anyone who has it can open your page.
