4. Once you’ve picked the kahoot you want to play, select the game mode that best fits your classroom’s needs.
   
5. Click Start and let players join the game.

Kahootopia!: How rewards and levels work

Kahootopia! turns learning into an adventure by visually representing your achievements through rewards and levels. Here’s how it works:

🏰 Earning rewards for your island

When you complete a kahoot with a specific Game Mode (Classic, Treasure Trove, etc.) or Subject Matter (like Math, Science, or English), you earn a new building for your island. Along with the building, you'll also receive a common house that matches the specific kahoots' topic. Plus, you can unlock decorations to personalize your island even more..

🏝️ How it works

Let’s say you start with a brand-new island that doesn’t have any buildings yet. You’ve created two kahoots, both related to the topic of Science:

• play kahoot A and finish the game: your class earn a Science-themed building and a common house that’s colored to match the Science theme.

• play kahoot B and finish the game: You upgrade your existing Science building (shown on a progress bar) and receive another common house in the Science color. Since you’re playing kahoot B (a different kahoot), it gives you an additional common house, not just an upgrade.

💡 To access Achievements and view an overview of what has been accomplished and what remains to be unlocked, click on the Treasure Chest icon located in the upper left corner of the screen.

💡 Students now have access to an achievement button on their controller when the lobby and island screens are displayed. By clicking this button, students can view the achievements they have unlocked as well as those that are still pending.

🏨 Building quality

The quality of the buildings and houses reflects the class's performance in the kahoot. Here’s how performance impacts the buildings/houses:

• Correct answers: A higher percentage of correct answers leads to a more luxurious building/common house. Conversely, if there are many mistakes, a more basic building is awarded.
• Replaying kahoots: Replaying a kahoot in a specific game mode or subject can improve the building/common house, encouraging students to revisit and aim for better scores.

🔝 To boost your score and unlock more rewards, click on the common house associated with your desired kahoot topic, then click Play Again.

🚀 Class island progression and levels

Kahootopia! fosters a sense of progression through levels, which grow as the class plays more kahoots. To progress, your class needs to complete 3 kahoots for each level. As the island reaches higher levels, it evolves, showcasing the growth and achievements!
