Is this lucky envelope box fair for kids?

Yes. Each open uses a secure random draw from your prize weights. Everyone watches the same screen, so the family can trust the result.

Can we put real money amounts in the boxes?

Yes. Edit each prize label to your currency and amounts before the party. The tool only reveals the label. You hand out the cash or gift yourself.

Why Single Box instead of Treasure Hunt?

Single Box is faster for a living-room party: one tap, one reveal, next child. Small amounts can repeat. Use Treasure Hunt if each prize should only win once.

What if two kids get the same envelope?

That can happen in Single Box, and it is fine for a fun family game. If you need unique amounts only, switch to Treasure Hunt or Multi Box with duplicate prizes off.

Do we need an account to play?

No. You can open boxes free in the browser. Sign in only when you want to save the box or publish a share link.

JavaScript is required to open boxes and use the live editor.

Lucky Envelope Box - Family New Year

What this box is for

A quick lucky-money moment for sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, and grandkids. Adults set the prize list. Kids take turns. The room watches the open and the popup, then you pass the real envelope or gift.

This template uses Single Box mode: each open draws from the full prize list by weight, so two kids can land on the same amount. That keeps the game moving and keeps the mood light.

Suggested lucky envelopes

Keep more small envelopes than big ones. A simple starter pack:

Lucky Envelope $2 - most common
Lucky Envelope $5
Lucky Envelope $10
Lucky Envelope $20
Lucky Envelope $50
Lucky Envelope $100 - rare
Grand Lucky $200 - rare top reveal

Edit the labels to your own currency before you start. Change weights in Advanced view if you want $5 to show up more often than $50.

How to run it at home

Open the box on a phone, tablet, or TV browser.
Check Entries so every label matches what you can actually give.
Set max opens to the number of kids playing.
Let one child open, cheer, hand over the gift, then pass the device to the next.
Use History if someone asks who already opened.

Common slip: leaving a huge top prize at a high weight. Keep big amounts rare so the party stays playful.

Who hosts this

Parents - one fair reveal after dinner
Grandparents - one turn per grandchild without arguments over who got more
Family party hosts - a short New Year activity that ends in smiles

Before you go live

Match prize labels to real cash or gifts on the table.
Test one open so sound and popup work on your screen.
Cap opens so each child gets one turn (or the number you agreed on).
Keep Single Box if repeats are fine. Switch to Treasure Hunt only if each prize should leave the pool after it wins.

What this is not

Not a payment app. SpinWheelPlus shows the result; you hand out the money or gift.
Not a serious contest. Keep it light for kids.
Not a shopping loot box. You control every prize label.
