Secret Santa is a popular gift-giving game, especially during the Advent and Christmas season. There are different variations, but the basic principle remains the same: a group of people exchanges gifts with each other without knowing who will receive a gift from whom.
Each participant randomly draws the name of another person from the group.
The drawn person is then gifted without knowing who the gift is from.
There is often a price limit in advance to ensure the gifts have a similar value.

### 5/5 — Фото

*2025-12-02, version 3.1.14*

Сделайте чтобы можно было отправлять фото друг другу,например если мы играем удаленно и нужно скинуть qr код или пример подарка или тд.

### 5/5 — Top

*2025-11-20, version 3.1.13*

Macht exakt was es soll, keine Ahnung warum sich manche andere Apps so anstellen.

### 4/5 — Одному игроку не выпало имя

*2025-01-20, version 3.0.22*

### 5/5 — Super App

*2024-12-26, version 3.0.22*

die App funktioniert prima, wir vermissen keine Funktionen und sind seit Jahren sehr zufrieden damit! Kundensupport ist auch sehr nett und schnell :)

### 5/5 — So cool

*2024-12-09, version 3.0.21*

Wir machen das in der Familie mit 10 Personen und ich finde es klasse. Lustig auf jeden Fall und man hat mir eine Person zu beschenken und spart sich einen Haufen Geschenke auf teufel komm raus. Kann ich nur empfehlen

### 3/5 — Please add copy/paste to join group

*2024-10-22, version 3.0.13*

or just let it fill in automatically when tap the sent link

### 1/5 — funktioniert nicht

*2023-12-10, version 2.3.20*

Wichtelpartner lassen sich nicht zuordnen. Bekomme immer wieder die gleiche Fehlermeldung

### 1/5 — Unusable for our group

*2023-11-13, version 2.3.17*

Hard to use, and in trial, I found you cannot set up gift exchange in rules until each, and every participant had excepted the invite. This is a dealbreaker for our large and unorganized group.   deleting.

### 2/5 — sehr umständlich zu bedienen

*2023-11-12, version 2.3.17*

hallo, leider merkt man der app an, dass sie mit cross platform frameworks entwickelt worden ist. vor allem habe ich probleme bestehende wunschzettel zu bearbeiten, da der speichern button nicht sichtbar ist und ich nicht dahin scrollen kann. (iphone se 2)

### 1/5 — Update ist eine Katastrophe

*2023-11-04, version 2.3.15*

Nach dem neuen Update ist die App eine voll Katastrophe , wie kann man eine simple App nur so völlig konfus Gestalten..
