Why Surprizio rather than a hat?
-
You take part and know nothing.
Even as the organizer, you see no pairing, anywhere. That is a property of the software, not a promise.
-
Exclusions are honored.
A draw by hand always ends up being restarted because somebody drew their partner. Here it is settled on the first try.
-
Nobody needs an account.
Neither you nor the participants. One link each, never expiring, and anyone can remove their address whenever they want.
4 simple steps
-
Name your draw
A name, the date and the budget. You also say whether you are taking part.
-
Add the participants
Each person's first name and email address, then the exclusions: two partners, two people who drew each other last year.
-
Run the draw
It happens in one go and honors every exclusion — or tells you plainly that they leave no solution.
-
Everyone gets a private link
The message names nobody: the secret stays on the page.
Frequently asked questions
Can the organizer see who gives to whom?
No, and that is the whole point: not even they see any pairing, anywhere. It is not a promise but a property of the software — results are only shown on each participant’s own page, behind a link sent to them alone. The organizer can therefore take part in the draw like everybody else.
Do I need an account to run or join a draw?
No, for neither. The organizer gets an email with a link that lets them find and manage their draw; each participant gets their own, which never expires and can be reopened when it is time to buy. Anyone can remove their address from the draw whenever they want, from that same page.
Is it really free?
Yes. Creating a draw, inviting participants and finding out who you are giving to cost nothing, and no account is needed.
How many people can I invite?
From 3 to 50 participants. With only two, each would draw the other: there would be nothing to find out.
How do I stop two partners from drawing each other?
With exclusions, available from 4 participants: you state who must not give to whom, in one direction or both. If an exclusion would make the draw impossible, it is refused and the site tells you why.
Can a draw be changed once it has been run?
No. The group is locked, so that nobody gets a new recipient after possibly having already bought a gift. Only a mistyped email address can be corrected, and the old address is notified.
