Frequently asked questions
- Is the team draw random?
- Yes. Simple mode uses a cryptographic seed and an unbiased shuffle. Balanced mode searches random valid distributions and clearly identifies itself as balanced randomness.
- Can I keep people together or apart?
- Gold subscribers and members of an active Team workspace can add together and apart rules before generating.
- Are names uploaded to Spinocchio?
- Team generation and races run in your browser. Names reach the server only when you deliberately create a Secret Santa event.
- Can someone open a shared result without Premium?
- Yes. Everyone can read a shared replay; Premium is required only to edit or regenerate configurations beyond free limits.
