Arcade / Secret Santa Name Draw

🎁 Secret Santa Name Draw

Draw names for a gift exchange on one phone. Everyone taps their own name to see who they are buying for, privately. Block couples from drawing each other.

HOW TO PLAY

Secret Santa Name Draw

  1. Type everyone’s name, one per line (3 to 30 people).
  2. Optionally add pairs who should not draw each other, and a budget.
  3. Tap Draw names, then pass the phone: each person taps their name, reads it, and taps Hide.
HOW IT WORKS

The rules in detail

Everyone gives exactly one gift and receives exactly one, and nobody draws themselves. Pairs you list (for example partners or siblings) never draw each other; if your list makes a fair draw impossible, you are told instead of getting an unfair one. The draw is kept only in this browser tab (so a refresh does not lose it) and the names list in this browser; nothing is sent to Funmello. Each name shows a tick once that person has looked, and looking again asks first. There is no “show everyone” button, so the organiser can play too.

Tips

  • Add initials if two people share a first name.
  • Each person should read their match and tap Hide before passing the phone on.
  • Write the budget and date in the rules box so everyone sees the same thing.

Privacy controls

Core features use a necessary session cookie. Your theme choice, explicitly bookmarked tool IDs and saved pet-name favourites are stored on this device. Calculator and game inputs are not stored by the site.

Funmello is free because public pages show Google ads. Google’s consent message asks visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland (and offers US state opt-outs) before personalised ads are used. Accounts, shortlists, polls and the name studio never load ad code, and nothing you type into a game or calculator is sent to Google.
