Secret friend app: learn how to draw for the cell phone with Paper

The Paperbag app lets you hold a secret friend draw for Android and iPhone (iOS) phones. The app is ideal for making the year-end game virtually, without having to gather all the friends involved to get around the game. The tool requires a group with at least three friends to be able to make the draw. The result is sent individually to each participant's email in order to maintain confidentiality.

In the service, you can create a description for each group with the date and place of the gift exchange, for example. Participants can also suggest gift options they wish to receive. Check out, in the following tutorial, how to make a secret friend draw with the Paper for mobile app.
