How White Elephant Live works

You host the call. We handle the organizing.

Buy your game, then add your party details whenever you’re ready. We send invitations and reminders, track every move, and share shipping instructions afterward.

Before, during, and after

  1. 1 · Before

    You set the details. We invite players and follow up with anyone who still needs to finish.

  2. 2 · During

    Players call the moves. You click them. We keep the turn, gifts, and steals straight.

  3. 3 · After

    Players send the gifts they added. We privately share the address each sender needs.

Preparation

Set the details. We help everyone get ready.

Add the date, gift budget, and link for the video call your team already uses. Tell us the group size and time available, and we’ll recommend rules with an estimated game length. Adjust every setting, then add the player list whenever you’re ready to send invitations.

Recommended rules

3 steals per gift · 45-second turns · Estimated 36 minutes

Invitations out. Follow-ups handled.

We email each invited player a private setup link. Scheduled follow-ups go only to invited players who still need to add their gift or address.

Example player readiness: invitations become reminders, then ready. This preview loops automatically.
Last year I spent three days chasing people in DMs for their gifts and addresses. This year I sent one invite and the reminders did the rest. I never had to be a nag.

They call the moves. You click. We keep track.

Keep the party on Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or whichever video call your team already knows. Share the board and run the room from one host view.

  • Players

    Stay on your usual video call and say whether you want to open or steal.

  • You

    Share your screen and click each open or steal as players call it out.

  • White Elephant Live

    We keep track of turns, gifts, and steal limits. Clicked the wrong move? Just undo it.

Shipping

We tell everyone where to send their gift

Before the game, each player adds a gift link. After the game, they purchase the gift and send it directly to the address we provide through a private link.

After the game ends, the final gift map is saved, Morgan receives a private assignment email, and the secure shipping page shows Avery’s address and the gift link.
