A gift exchange with a twist. Everyone gets a gift they ask for. Rather than spreading your budget over a large group of people, you buy one gift for someone that is getting something they actually want. You can still spend time together while opening gifts and guessing who asked for what. The Gift Exchange Game is an app that facilitates group gift exchange. Users can create a group and invite others to join. Once all members have entered the gift they want, they will be randomly assigned a gift to buy. The group can then get together and open gifts. Each user tries to guess who asked for what gift and the the most correct guesses, wins!
