Kahoot

Kahoot is a game-based learning platform built around fast, competitive multiple-choice quizzes that a host displays on a shared screen while participants answer on their own devices, with points awarded for speed and accuracy and a live leaderboard between questions. Teachers use it to review material and check understanding in class, and the same format is widely used for corporate training, onboarding, conference sessions, team-building, and events. Creators build their own kahoots or pull from a large public library, and beyond the classic live quiz the platform supports self-paced assignments, study modes with flashcards and practice, polls, word clouds, slides, and more question types. Kahoot has expanded through acquisitions into a broader learning group, adding tools for interactive presentations, corporate learning management, and language and math practice. The Oslo-based company was taken private by an investor group led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management in early 2024 and continues to operate under the Kahoot brand. It offers a free tier for teachers and casual use with limits on participants and features, and paid plans for schools, businesses, and individual power users that raise those limits and add reporting, branding, and advanced question and hosting options.
