Where Kahoot shines

Lots of question types and huge audiences.

  • Lots of question types. Puzzles, sliders, word clouds and more, depending on the plan.
  • Huge audiences. Up to 5,000 players on the largest plans.
  • The classroom. Assignments that students do at their own pace, with reports afterwards.

Made for groups

The team round the table, the question on the TV.

  • The TV at the centre. An Apple TV app of its own, or AirPlay and the browser on any other screen.
  • Teams at the tables. A team can be a whole table or one player, with its own name and avatar.
  • Music questions. Real songs from the host's Apple Music, in the app.
  • The map. Drop the pin where it is. The closest team wins.
  • Three ways to play. Solo, with one phone passed round, or with a phone each.
  • Word clouds and polls. Between questions, teams have their say on their phones. Included with an Event Pass and the licence.
