FAQ
How long should a White Elephant game last?
For the dice version, about 30–60 seconds per player (10 minutes for 15 people). For classic White Elephant with numbers, expect about 1–2 minutes per player unless you use a turn timer.
Will the timer keep running if my screen locks?
The timer is based on the clock, so it stays accurate. Where the browser supports it, the page also asks the screen to stay awake while the timer runs.
