Secret Friend is a modern take on Secret Santa for Slack workspaces. It's designed to foster team building and workplace connections through anonymous gift exchanges and fun interactions.

Getting started is easy:

1. Click the "Add to Slack" button to install Secret Friend in your workspace
2. Use the command /secret-friend-start to create a new game
3. Share the game channel with your team
4. Wait for participants to join
5. Start the game when ready!

• /secret-friend-start - Create a new game
• /sf-message - Send an anonymous message to your secret friend
• /sf-help - Get help with using the app

The free plan allows up to 10 participants per game. Paid plans (Startup, Scaleup and Enterprise) allow up to 30 participants per game.

The minimum number of participants to start a game is 3 people.

When you use the /sf-message command, Secret Friend sends your message anonymously through the game channel. Only the organizer knows who sent which message, ensuring privacy while maintaining workplace appropriateness.

The free plan allows one active game at a time. Startup allows 5 active games, Scaleup 15 and Enterprise 50. See the pricing page for details.

You can set the game duration when creating it. The game will automatically end after the specified duration, at which point participants can try to guess who their Secret Friend was!

When a game ends:

• All participants get a chance to guess who their Secret Friend was
• The true identities are revealed
• Participants can vote for the Best Secret Friend
• The game channel is archived

Yes, game organizers can end a game early using the 'End Game' button in the game channel.
