How to randomize questions for Kahoot! games

Updated

Learn how to easily randomize questions in Kahoot! games to keep your quizzes fresh and engaging. Boost participation and learning outcomes in classrooms and teams. Read below for expert tips and tricks.

You can’t randomize question order if the kahoot includes slides.

  1. Start a kahoot as a live game.
  2. Open game settings by clicking the gearwheel icon in the bottom right corner.

  3. Find the Randomize order of questions option in the Hosting section. 
    💡In the same section, you can find the option to randomize the order of answers.
  4. Close the settings tab and start the game.

☝️ It's not possible to randomize questions in assigned kahoots. Instead, you can enable the randomized order of answers in the assignment settings after clicking Assign.

  • I would really like the questions to be randomized in assigned Kahoots!  Students open two browser windows, two different games, and then will get the answers wrong in one window, one question ahead, and then use the other window for all the right answers.  I explain that they will not learn as much gaming the system, but they are 7th graders and have trouble seeing the big picture sometimes

  • Thank you for your feedback @Miss_Arents! At the moment it's not possible to randomize questions in assigned kahoots. However, you can enable the randomized order of answers in the assignment settings after clicking Assign.

  • Would be helpful to enable/disable randomizing questions before launching/hosting.

  • Hi Leadership.Academy!


    You can turn question randomization on or off in the lobby before you start hosting. Once you set it, that preference will be remembered for your future games, so you don’t need to change it every time. You can also adjust the randomization setting while hosting if you change your mind mid-game.

    Is there a specific scenario or reason you had in mind for needing this option that we might not be covering yet?

  • I do not often host games live for a number of reasons.  It would be VERY helpful to be able to randomize QUESTION order for assigned Kahoots.  Is there a work-around (besides hosting live) to get the question order randomized?
