Hi, we are Kahoot! We are on a mission to unlock the deepest potential of each and every learner, of all ages and in all contexts, and we do that by making learning fun, magical, inclusive, engaging and shareable through games.
We want to improve education all over the world and help everyone – of any age, aptitude or circumstance – unleash the magic of learning.
- Our founding principles are Social, Play and Learn -
Driven by our mission, we’ve built a game-based platform that creates an emotional, playful, engaging and truly social learning environment. Instead of looking down into their textbooks or devices, learners are encouraged to look up while playing and connect with each other – we call it a ‘campfire moment’.
For us, engagement is about unlocking everyone’s potential. It means bringing that student from the back of the class to the front and letting everyone become the classroom superhero.
How it all startedKahoot! has been around since 2013. Our birthday is March 12, 2013 when Kahoot! was launched in private beta at SXSWedu. In September 2013, the beta was opened to the public, and it’s been quite a ride ever since!
Building a company with learning at its heart, we chose to address the classroom first, but it seems game-based learning is now a pop culture phenomenon! Today, the Kahoot! movement spans far beyond classrooms: it is played in business training sessions, at sporting and cultural events, or in any social and learning context really.
The K!rewWe believe in giving our Kahoot!’ers the ability to exercise autonomy, mastery, and purpose – and we apply the same principles to our company organization. We’re a vibrant, diverse, hard-working bunch who are passionate about building something truly amazing, and have a lot of fun doing so! We are an international team, fortunate to be located in some of the most exciting tech hubs in the world – Oslo (Norway), London (UK) and Austin (USA).

hi
i like to play kahoot at home for free
Hola, estudio la carrera de Educación en la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, y considero que esta es una de las herramientas más prácticas que encontró en mi etapa de formación docente. Estoy seguro de que utilizaré bastante con mis estudiantes. Muchas gracias por su compromiso, éxitos.
I would like to alert you to the creating of spam bots that take over Kahoot! once a single student puts in the pin number in the bot generator like the once linked below. Not sure if you can fix this problem, but it's pretty serious given that a student today asked for over 100 bots to sign in, all of them called Kahoot Ninja.

Here's a video illustrating what all the bot producing pages do.
