If you go to https://kahoot.it, or open our mobile app and tap the “Enter PIN” button, you’ll see a field that requires a “game PIN”. But what is it and why is it necessary?
A game PIN is a temporary, unique code that identifies which game you want to join. This PIN is generated when someone starts a live game or assigns a challenge.
Where can I find a game PIN?
Game PINs are unique to each kahoot session. They are generated once a kahoot has been launched, and used at kahoot.it so that learners can join a leader’s kahoot.
In order to find a game PIN you need to be at a location where someone is hosting/leading a kahoot. The screen they’ve launched the kahoot on must be in sight for you to see the game PIN. Here are more details on playing kahoots.
As a participant of a game, you can't generate a PIN. You must be given a PIN by someone that's hosting a game. If you'd like to host a game, here are some helpful guides:
- How to host a live game in your web browser
- How to host a live game in our mobile apps
- How to start a challenge in your web browser
- How to start a challenge in our mobile apps
I have a PIN already, how do I join a game?
No account is used to join a game. Unless the host enabled “player identifier” on the game you’re joining, there is nothing required of you that persists from game-to-game. Follow this easy guide:
- Open your device’s web browser and go to kahoot.it, or open our mobile app and tap “Enter PIN”.
- Enter a game PIN.
- If “player identifier” is enabled by the host, provide the requested identifier.
- If “friendly nickname generator” is enabled by the host, click or tap the “spin” button to choose a random nickname. If it’s disabled, type a nickname of your choice.
A challenge link was shared with me, how do I join it?
Please make sure that the host of the challenge has shared a link and a PIN with you, as both are required to join the challenge.
- Click or tap a challenge link. If our mobile app is installed on your device, the challenge will open in our mobile app. If not, it will open in your device’s web browser.
- Enter a game PIN.
- If “player identifier” is enabled by the host, provide the requested identifier.
- If “friendly nickname generator” is enabled by the host, click or tap the “spin” button to choose a random nickname. If it’s disabled, type a nickname of your choice.

How i put my pin in my phone?

Hi all!
A game PIN can be used in a web browser at kahoot.it or in our iOS and Apple mobile apps to join a live game or challenge. The PIN you submit tells our servers which live game or challenge you want to join.
