December 19, at Grandma's house: in Marina's app, the next step for the day reads "Party day is here". At the gift swap, each person says who they drew. At the end of the night she taps "Reveal now", then "Reveal all pairs".

Step by step
- 1
Set the reveal time, if you want
The organizer can "Set the reveal time" from 5 minutes to 60 days out. On the day, "Enter the room" opens a single countdown for the whole group.
- 2
Reveal the pairs
The organizer taps "Reveal now", then "Reveal all pairs". There's no undo, and everyone but the organizer gets the notification.

Nobody revealed? Wait 2 days
2 days after the get-together, the app closes the cycle on its own, with no notification, and the group is "Revealed". The first sign is the recap.

See what opens afterwards
With the game turned on, the "Gift Ranking" shows "Gift from {name}". Once the recap is ready, the group becomes a chapter in "Your memories".

Run it again with the same crew
In Profile › "My extras" › "Your memories", open the chapter and tap "RUN THIS GROUP AGAIN". Send the new group's link on WhatsApp.
The organizer reveals. The Room counts down.
The get-together is swap day; revealing who drew whom is a separate step that belongs to the organizer: "Reveal now", then "Reveal all pairs". If nobody does anything, the app closes the group on its own 2 days later.
Questions about this chapter
I set the reveal time. Does the app tell the crew and reveal on its own when the time comes?
No, and the message ("Reveal scheduled. We'll let everyone know.") promises more than happens. Scheduling only saves the date and time; the organizer is still the one who reveals, through the "Reveal now" link in "The reveal is today". Agree on a time on WhatsApp and tap the link before the countdown hits zero.
The countdown hit zero and nothing happened.
That's how it works: at zero, the Room sends you back to the group, which stays "Drawn" until the organizer reveals. Once the time has passed, the "Reveal now" link disappears and the "Set the reveal time" card comes back. If you're the organizer, set it again, at least 5 minutes ahead, and tap the "Reveal now" link.
I forgot to reveal. Now what?
It's fine: 2 days after the get-together the app closes the cycle on its own, with no notification, and the group is "Revealed". The first sign is the notification "Your group's recap is ready". If you're the organizer and can't wait, open the group: "Party day is here" shows "Reveal now", then "Reveal all pairs".
After the reveal, where do I see who got whom?
There's no screen with every pair: the crew finds out who got whom at the swap. The "Gift Ranking" shows "Gift from {name}", as long as the game is turned on. The chat with the person who drew you stays "Your Secret Santa". Open "More in this group" › "Fun" › "Gift Ranking" and vote.
I want to reveal before the party. Can I?
Yes, if you're the organizer, and there's no undo. The one time it's off the table is during a Democratic Draw vote. Set the reveal time for today in "Set the reveal time", at least 5 minutes ahead, and tap the "Reveal now" link in the step "The reveal is today": it opens the Draw screen with "Reveal all pairs".
When does the recap arrive?
After the group is marked "Revealed", whether the organizer revealed or the app closed it on its own. The app builds the slides in the background and lets you know with "Your group's recap is ready"; there's no guaranteed time. If the notification doesn't come, open the group and tap "Watch the recap" now and then.
Can we run it again with the same crew? Do people get notified?
Yes, and not just the owner: anyone who took part can run it again, once each, after the recap is ready. In "Your memories", open the chapter and tap "RUN THIS GROUP AGAIN". Anyone from the group sees the "Invited" badge and gets in without approval; the app sends no notification. Send the new group's link on WhatsApp.
