How to play your first kahoot


Kahoots are best played in a group setting, like a classroom or a conference room –
or even with family at home.

Games are displayed on a shared screen – for example a smart


TV, a laptop or an interactive whiteboard. You can also use
screen sharing tools like Skype, Appear.In, or Google Hangouts to
include players from other classes or other parts of the world.

Players join in using their own device – whether that is a


smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop doesn’t matter, as long
as they have a browser and good internet connection.

Step 1: Find a game to play


There are millions of public kahoots available on the platform.
Search for a game on a relevant topic, or choose a kahoot from
the start page. For example, try one of our curriculum-aligned
games in math, science, and other subjects.

Or maybe you’ve created your own kahoot already? Open the


kahoot and click Play.
TOP TIP!
Players don’t need an
account to play!

if they can’t install the app on their device, they
can join by going to kahoot.it in their browser.

Click Start once you can see all the players’ nicknames on
the “lobby” or waiting screen. During gameplay you can use
the space bar or your mouse to go to the next question.

You can also challenge your friends and


family with a cool quiz for fun!
