馃巹 The hat, online 路 2026
Draw names from a hat, online.
Just like slips of paper in a hat, except nobody pulls their own name, nobody has to be in the same room, and nobody loses their slip.
The paper-and-hat method has three problems: someone always draws themselves, everyone has to be there at once, and someone always forgets who they got. Drawing names online fixes all three.
Add the names, share one link, and let each person draw from their own phone. If you'd rather keep the drama of a group reveal, start a live draw and everyone sees their name at the same moment.
How it works
Why it works
馃帺 Nobody draws themselves
Every draw is valid the first time. No putting slips back and starting over.
馃搷 From anywhere
People draw from their own phones, wherever they are.
馃 Nothing to forget
Your match is saved on your private link. Look it up any time.
馃幆 Just need a quick pick?
For raffles and classrooms, use the free name picker wheel instead.
Questions
Is drawing names online random?
Yes. Matches are shuffled at random on our server, so nobody, including the organizer, can steer the result.
Can we all draw at the same time?
Yes. Start a live draw and everyone's name is revealed at the same moment, which works well on a video call.
I just need to pick one name, not a gift exchange.
Use the free name picker wheel. Paste a list of names, spin, and get a winner.
Is it free?
Yes. Drawing names, invitations and wish lists are free, with no sign-up.
