Free White Elephant Tools
These free tools handle the fiddly parts of an in-person White Elephant. Draw turn numbers, spin a wheel, roll dice with your own rules, track steals and frozen gifts on one phone, print house rules, and read a left-right story aloud. They run in your browser with no sign-up.
The tools
- Number generator: draw a random turn order for any number of players, or shuffle a list of names.
- Spin the wheel: add names and spin to pick who goes next. Optionally remove each winner.
- Dice game: roll one or two dice and see what each roll means, with rules you can edit and a game timer.
- Steal tracker: run an in-person game on one phone. It tracks who holds what, steal counts, frozen gifts and the final swap, with undo.
- Rules generator: pick a variation and limits, then share a link or print your house rules.
- Left-right story: original stories with a read-along mode that highlights every LEFT and RIGHT.
- Invitation maker: write the invite, share it or print it.

Frequently asked questions
Are these tools really free?
Yes. The in-person tools are free with no account and no ads. Only the live virtual game has paid plans, and it's free for up to 8 players.
Do the tools work offline?
Once a tool page has loaded, it keeps working without a connection. Nothing you type is sent to a server.
Which tool should I use to pick the order?
The number generator draws the full turn order at once. The wheel is more fun when you want to pick one person at a time.
