Engage every employee with a Virtual Holiday Party they’ll actually love

White Elephant is a simple gift-swapping game played by millions of people each year. Each participant brings a gift, is assigned a random number, and then one at a time each person either unwraps a new gift, or steals a gift from someone else. The game is finished when everyone has a gift. The simple formula results in a truly fun and memorable experience.

In the virtual event you submit a gift online before the big day by pasting a link to an item from any retailer. On the day of the event you all jump on a video call to unwrap gifts virtually. One person serves as the "Game Lead”, taking actions while the system walks you through step-by-step allowing players to swap and steal to their hearts content. At the end of the event we let everyone know who won their gift so they can coordinate delivery, or you can get a report of the results to handle as the Game Admin.

We also offer options to manage your participants and their gifts yourself as the Game Admin.

Yes! Our platform will work globally. The main consideration would be the shipping of the gifts. The actual purchasing and shipping of gifts happens outside our platform, on the original retailer website. As long as everyone submits from a retailer that ships internationally, then it will work fine. Amazon is usually a safe bet, but it does depend on your specific circumstances.

Absolutely - our admin tools make it simple to create multiple games, manage, and customize them across teams.

The system is 100% self-service, so you can coordinate schedules internally without worrying about limited slots with a host. Note that each game will require a “Game Lead” to run the game on your groups behalf, but the system makes it easy for anyone to take this role.
