White Elephant Gift Exchange Game: Phone App and Printable Kit for 4 to 30 Players

White elephant game for 4 to 30 players: a private phone app runs the turns, steals and timer, plus 2 printable kits with rules, tags, twist cards and awards.

LET THE APP RUN IT

No more arguing over whose turn it is. The app picks a random turn order, tracks every gift, counts steals, locks a gift after 3 steals, blocks instant steal backs and runs a 60 second turn timer. Switch on the optional Twist Deck for extra laughs, or use the office safe setting. When the last gift is unwrapped, it shows the awards. No account, and it works offline after the first open.

PRINT THE KIT

Two editions are included: Any Occasion (28 pages) for birthdays, teams and any time of year, and Christmas (29 pages) with a holiday look and 49 twist cards plus blanks.

HOW IT WORKS
