About Join Code
A join code (or game PIN) is the entire access model of modern quiz platforms: the host launches a game, the platform issues a short numeric code, and players enter it on kahoot.it, joinmyquiz.com or blooket.com/play.
Codes are ephemeral — they work only while the game is open — which is why an old code never works and a fresh one gathers thirty players in a minute.
