No. Names are enough to run the draw. Afterward, you can send each person their personal result link, use email delivery if you prefer, or share one group link in your group chat.

With the group link, each participant chooses their own name, so they need to pick carefully. If you want to avoid someone accidentally opening another person’s result, personal links are the safer option.

Add your participants, set any exclusions you need, and run the draw. Santa assigns each person one recipient and prepares the results for you to share.

Then all that’s left is keeping the surprise secret until gift time.

Exclusions let you decide which pairings shouldn’t happen.

For example, you might keep spouses from drawing each other, prevent a parent and child from being paired, or separate two people who already have plenty of quality time together.

If you don’t need any restrictions, just skip this step.

After the draw, the organizer gets a personal result link for each participant. You can send those links yourself by text or group chat, or use email delivery.

Each person opens their own link to see who they’re giving a gift to.

Yes. For faster distribution, you can share one group link, for example in your group chat. Each participant opens it and selects their own name.

They do need to choose carefully: if someone selects the wrong name, they may see another participant’s result and spoil the draw for someone else. If you want to avoid that risk, send personal links instead.

Quick Draw is for groups that just want to assign participants, set exclusions, and share the results without setting up a full game.

If you also need invitations, wish lists, addresses, a budget, anonymous chat, and other tools for managing the whole gift exchange, create a full Santa game instead.
