Secret Santa Organizer

Draw Secret Santa names with no signup and no emails. Add everyone, optionally keep certain pairs apart, draw, and get one private reveal link per person. Assignments stay hidden from the organizer, so you can play too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do participants need to sign up or give an email?
No. The organizer adds everyone, draws names, and gets one private reveal link per person. You send each link however you like (text, DM, email). Nobody creates an account and no email addresses are collected.
Can the organizer play too without seeing everyone’s matches?
Yes — that is the whole idea. Assignments are never shown on the organizer’s screen; each person’s giftee is hidden inside their own reveal link. There is an optional “reveal all” spoiler toggle for an organizer who is not participating.
Can I stop certain people from drawing each other?
Yes. Add “keep apart” pairs (for example, couples) and the draw will avoid matching them in either direction. Nobody is ever assigned to themselves. If the exclusions make a valid draw impossible, you get a heads-up to loosen them.
Is my draw private, and can I reopen it later?
Each reveal link contains only that person’s own assignment, not the full list, so a curious player can’t see everyone’s matches. There is no server. Your setup is saved in your browser so a refresh resumes it, and an optional organizer backup link restores the draw on another device.
