About this tool
This page opens the Secret Santa generator for a remote or long-distance group. Paste every participant's name, one per line, whether the group is a work team on a video call or friends spread across different cities.
Because everything runs in this one browser and nothing is emailed or uploaded, a remote draw works best with an organizer: run the generator once on your own screen, then open a private 1:1 call or chat with each participant and tap their name only while they can see the screen, hiding it again right after.
Add exclusion pairs for couples or close friends who already exchange gifts directly, and the draw will keep them apart. It stays honest either way — the tool never sends an assignment anywhere on its own.
Example. Four names with no exclusions produce a derangement in which nobody is assigned to themselves.
Limit. The backtracking search gives up after 200000 steps, so an exclusion set that leaves no derangement is reported as impossible.
