Wichtelrad
Ready for a little Christmas magic with a digital spin?
Whether you draw names online or gather around the mulled wine in person, the wheel decides fairly (or cheekily 😜) who gives to whom. No slips of paper, no chaos, no arguments – just fun, suspense and maybe a few suspiciously similar pairs of socks under the tree.
Groups under control
Set the budget, theme, location and date, then invite everyone with a simple link – no forced sign-up required.
Personal wish lists
Everyone adds concrete wishes or preferences, so the gift is guaranteed to hit the mark.
A fair draw
Online with a random algorithm or offline by passing the phone around: Wichtelrad draws fairly and keeps every match secret.

Discover the app
Wichtelrad brings structure, fun and fairness to every Secret Santa – whether you are in the same room or spread across the world. Organise groups, set the rules and let the app handle the fair draw.
Online groups
With online Secret Santa the app takes care of the entire organisation for you. Simply start a new group and set the budget, theme and event date. Then invite everyone comfortably with a single link.
Through that same link every participant is discreetly shown who they drew, including their wish list and additional details. That makes it ideal for teams, groups of friends, families or remote groups that are not in the same place.
- ✓ No manual drawing of names
- ✓ No duplicates or invalid matches
- ✓ A clear overview of status & participants
- ✓ Perfect for online events, companies and remote groups
Offline Secret Santa
For everyone gathered in the same room the app offers the digital Wichtelrad. The classic slip of paper is replaced by an interactive wheel that creates suspense and fun. Every participant joins the round anonymously and, once everybody is ready, you spin the wheel. It stops at a random person – and your match is set!
The draw is immediate, surprising and makes the whole event more lively. It is especially popular for Christmas parties, team events, club evenings or private get-togethers.
- ✓ No preparation needed
- ✓ Ready to go for spontaneous rounds
- ✓ A playful animation keeps everyone entertained
- ✓ Fair, random and completely digital
