White elephant number generator
Type each player's name and tap Draw the order: the phone shuffles everyone into a fair, random turn order, so you don't need paper numbers in a hat. Then it runs the game from turn 1, with every steal counted.
Who's playing?
Type each name and press Add. You can fix names at any turn.

Turn order and names
That's a wrap
Who went home with what:
The game stays on this phone. Close the page and it picks up where you left off.
How the draw stays fair
The page shuffles the players with the browser's built-in random number source, so nobody can pick their spot. The order shows under Turn order and names once the game starts.
Numbers instead of names
If you'd rather hand out numbers, add the players as 1, 2, 3 and so on, then tell each person their number. Or add names and read the order out loud.
Paper numbers, if you prefer
Write 1 to the number of players on slips, fold them, and draw from a bowl as people arrive. Keep a list of who drew which number, because someone always forgets.
Questions people ask next
Can I draw the order again?
Yes. Tap New game, keep the same players, and draw again.
Is there a limit to how many players I can add?
No. Add as many as you like; you need at least 3.
Do the guests need the page too?
No. One phone runs the game; the host reads out whose turn it is.
