How many participants can play a kahoot?

• I am an Administrator not a manager at my corporation. I was told KAHOOTS! Offered both free and paid games. I did a google search just to make sure, and indeed, they did offer a free service. I could ignore the flashing fees prompting me to pay $26 to $104 for a subscription. This was only for people who wanted the extra special features, which I could not afford. Looking back I should have checked what those specific features were. I created an account to create a free trivia game for a fun thing to do for a small group to play remotely at my office holiday lunch. It took me a lot of time and effort creating twenty five of my own trivia questions and personalizing each q&a with its own GIF and theme. Despite waking up early everyday for a week to get as much done before starting my busy day, I had fun watching my little creation progress. However, by the third day when I was almost finished my project, the website suddenly changed it's prompts indìcating i could only have 10 players with the free version. By the last day, when i finally finished, the free version dropped to only 3 players and now i was unable to send the link via email for my boss to review, nor could i email it to myself! The game ended up being washed and we all played human bingo instead. It was a success and had a great time, but what a waste.  Very disappointed. Had i seen this 10 or 3 player limit at the beginning, i would have used another team building app with no hidden agenda.

• Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback. I understand your frustration and disappointment with the limitations you encountered while using Kahoot!.

  Kahoot! offers both free and paid plans, each with different features and limitations. The free version allows for basic game creation and hosting, but it does have restrictions on the number of players that can join a game. As you noted, the free business users are on the test drive plan that has a player limit of 3 for the games created by them. However, the games created by the profile Kahoot! at Work allows free business users to host games for up to 50 players, giving you a perfect chance to try our platform out.

  The paid plans offer additional features such as higher player limits, advanced game creation tools, and more customization options. These plans are designed to cater to different needs, from small teams to large organizations.

   

  I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused by the different player limits and the inability to share your game via email. Your feedback is valuable, and I will ensure it is passed on to the relevant team to help improve our service.

  If you have any further questions or need assistance with anything else, please let me know.
