Why link-first works
Most groups already have a place to share: a text thread, WhatsApp, Slack, a family group chat or a QR code in the room. MerryShuffle fits that behavior instead of introducing another login.
What makes it different
No email alone is not a moat—DrawNames, NameWheel and SecretSantaMatch already market similar flows. The stronger promise combines no signup with exact exclusions, a calm impossible-rule explanation, a memorable reveal and an auditable draw.
What to remember
Private does not mean invincibleAnyone with a bearer link can open it. Never put names in URLs. Use revoke, expiry and clear forwarding language in production.
