Frequently asked questions
Is Cuchumbo free?
Yes, completely. Creating an exchange, inviting people and drawing names costs nothing.
Do participants need an account?
No. Players join through their personal invitation link — no sign-up and no password.
Can the organizer see who gets who?
Never. The draw is sealed. Not even the person who created the exchange can see the assignments — the surprise is preserved for everyone.
How many people can join?
There's no fixed limit. Cuchumbo works just as well for 4 friends as for a company of 40.
What languages is Cuchumbo available in?
Ten languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, French, German, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, and Portuguese. Each player can use the language they prefer.
When should we do the Secret Santa draw?
Two to three weeks before the reveal is the sweet spot — players have time to gather hints and shop, but not so much that anyone forgets. For remote groups, add a few days for shipping.
Can I organize a Secret Santa if we're in different cities?
Absolutely. Share the invitation link by message or email and have everyone mail their gift so it arrives before the reveal date. Cuchumbo works the same whether the group is in one room or on three continents.
What if someone can't make it to the gift exchange?
They still get a gift. On the reveal page each player can mark their delivery as completed — if someone can't attend in person, a later handoff works just as well. The surprise doesn't need a calendar to land.
Your group is waiting
Set it up in a minute. Free forever, no account for your players, and a draw that stays sealed — even from you.
