During your yearly holiday gift exchange, have you ever lost track of whose turn it is or how many times a gift's been stolen? Wish you had a timer to keep the game on track? Maybe you've wondered if there's a better way to find out what gifts you can steal than asking each of the 20 people who picked before you? If so, it's time to give White Elephant Gift Exchange a try. It will help you run a more efficient, less stressful, and more fun game. Features include: - customizable rules, including timer and max steals - up to 150 players per game - create and save player lists ahead of time - player order randomizer - automatically tracks turn order, timer, and white elephant rules - uses camera to capture photos of gifts for steal review (can optionally save pictures to camera roll as well) - steal review allows current player to look at all stealable gifts or search for a specific one - supports mid-game adjustments to rules and player list - undo - as far back as necessary to correct any mistakes - ongoing maintenance and bugfixes - no ads or other nonsense! - free!

What’s New

Version History

  • Player name management has been brought into the 21st century. They are now presented in a table view with standard features like delete, rename, and reorder. It's a Christmas miracle. Also, some minor bug fixes and code improvements.

    5.2.0

    12/09/2022

  • * Open and Steal buttons (recently redesigned) are once again highlighted after making a selection * Changed seconds button color from red to indigo when timer has expired * Refreshed end of game page

    5.1.1

    11/18/2021

    5.1.0

    10/28/2021

  • Refreshed things a bit visually and fixed a crash involving saved player lists.

    5.0.0

    10/14/2021

  • This version fixes a few minor display issues, speeds up repeated randomizing (surely someone does that besides me?), and introduces the 'Saved Player Lists' feature, which allows users to create and manage player lists. For yearly games played with family or coworkers, enter your player names, then save them to a list for reuse next year. Or get ready for your game with 80+ people by entering player names ahead of time and saving them. When it's time to start the game, just load the saved list and you're ready to go!

  • * Bug fixes.

    3.0.1

    12/17/2018

  • This update is all about the behind-the-scenes improvements and fixes. I massively overhauled the code over the last two years (ok, last two Novembers) to fix some looming issues and get things in better shape for adding more features in the future. See app description for a preview of future ideas, and email me with any feature requests or other comments! Version 3.0.0 changes: * Increased max steals to 99 * Updated for iPhone X+ displays * Fixed some obscure bugs and crashes * Added recovery code so the app can resume in a good state in the unlikely event of a crash * Rearchitected much of the code for greater stability

  • We’re (I’m) back for 2016! Thanks to everyone who gave the app a try last year. I have updated, added, and fixed a ton of stuff, and my only hope is that some of it is useful for someone somewhere.

 Here are the important recent changes:
 2.1.2: * Memory performance improvements. 2.0+: * By popular demand, increased max players to 150. * Added new stats pages that are accessible via in-app-purchases at the end of a game. (These are purely for fun and are NOT required to access any main features of the app.) * Added buttons accessible during the game for changing settings, editing the player list, or ending the game.
 * Mid-game player list is also useful for seeing whose turns are coming up. 
* Added undo button to go back a turn during the game. 
* Added fun holiday colors!
 * Added a rules page.
 * Added a setting to save pictures taken with the app to the Camera Roll (on by default).
 * Now shows the total number of stealable items at the bottom of the steal screen.
 * Sooo many miscellaneous bug fixes.
