About the White Elephant Generator
White Elephant (also called Yankee Swap, Dirty Santa or Pollyanna) is a gift exchange where players open new gifts or steal ones that are already open. This generator draws a random turn order with a secure shuffle in your browser, lets you choose how many steals a gift allows and the usual variations, and shows the rules for your group. Use “Run the game” to step through the turns on a shared screen. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. If you would rather assign one secret recipient to each person, use the Secret Santa Generator.
Prefer secret recipients? Use the Secret Santa Generator, or split a big group first with the Random Team Generator.
