If you run events in Second Life, you already know the hard part isn’t the decorations—it’s organizing people without chaos. This LSL Secret Santa Gift Exchange Script is built to solve exactly that problem. Clean logic, simple controls, and zero guesswork for your guests.
This script lets you host a randomized gift exchange where participants join with a single click, and the owner controls everything from start to finish. No notecards. No manual lists. No awkward “who gives to who?” moments in local chat.
Drop it into a prim, rez it at your venue, and you’re ready to go.
How it works (from a user’s point of view)
Participants don’t need instructions. They click the object, see a dialog asking if they want to join, and that’s it. If registration is open, they’re added instantly. If it’s closed, they’re politely told so.
The hover text updates live, showing how many people have joined. Everyone knows what’s going on without spamming chat or asking staff.
How it works (from an owner’s point of view)
You control the entire flow through a simple admin dialog:
Open registration
Close registration
Spin to generate pairings
Reset the event
No editing variables mid-event. No resetting scripts unless you want to. It’s designed for live use during parties, club nights, holiday events, and themed gatherings.
When you click Spin, the script randomly shuffles all participants and assigns each person a gift recipient in a clean circular exchange. Everyone gives exactly one gift, and everyone receives exactly one gift. No duplicates. No self-assignments.
Visibility options (current behavior)
By default, the script announces the gift exchange pairings in public chat, which is perfect for:
Party-style gift games
Community events
Fun reveal moments
The logic is structured in a way that can be easily adapted for private assignments if needed (owner-only or direct IM delivery). This makes the script a solid foundation for both casual and more traditional Secret Santa setups.
Built for real events, not demos
This is not a “proof of concept” script. It’s written for real Second Life environments where:
Multiple avatars click at the same time
Owners need fast control
Events need to run smoothly without babysitting
The script uses dialog-based interaction, owner checks, and clean list handling to keep things stable and predictable.
Why this script is useful
If you’ve ever tried to run a gift exchange manually, you already know the pain points:
People joining late
Duplicate names
Forgetting who’s in
Messy chat spam
Confusion after assignments
This script removes all of that. You open registration, people join, you spin, and the game begins. Simple.
It’s especially useful for:
Clubs and lounges
Holiday events (Christmas, Valentine’s, Halloween)
RP communities
Social hubs
Speed-dating style games
Themed party nights
