The number of players that can join depends on how you host your game and how you use Kahoot!.
Hosting options
Live games work great for a group of players in the same room, with one person being the game host presenting questions. Questions display on the host’s screen, which should be large enough to be viewable to all players.
Challenges are for when a teacher or trainer wants to quiz a group of players that are not in the same room, for example, for homework or virtual training. Questions and answer options appear on players’ mobile devices. Our iOS/Android app is required.
How you use Kahoot!

Large games or important events
If you’re planning to host an important game session, a smart move would be to test for possible connectivity issues at your venue at least a few days before your event. This will give you time to work with your IT team to fix any issues discovered.

Is it best if all the players are connected on the same wireless network?
I have three separate groups of about 30 each that I want to use this app for; but, when I hit play it is showing me the total number of players 90. How do I separate them:?
Hi opponga!
You should check out our article on testing for connectivity issues. To answer your question, we recommend a mix of wifi and cellular data. When everyone is on the same internet connection, it's possible that lag will become an issue. This is typically not going to be an issue if a small group or class is all on the same connection. But this depends on the bandwidth of your internet service, wifi routers, etc...
Hi Sixfelines!
Are you sharing one PIN with all three groups? The PIN identifies the game session they're going to join. You would need 3 separate PINs (denoting 3 active sessions) so that each group is given a unique PIN to join with. You may want to consider hosting challenges for this.
