About Kahoot
Kahoot, launched in Norway in 2013, turned classroom quizzing into a game show: questions on the host's screen, answers on players' devices, points for speed and accuracy, and a podium after every round.
Its join page, kahoot.it, and its countdown music are instantly recognizable to a generation of students — the live-mode benchmark against which Quizizz and Blooket positioned themselves.
