When you go to https://kahoot.it, or open our mobile app and tap the “Enter PIN” button, you see a field that requires a “game PIN”.
A game PIN is a temporary, unique code that identifies which game you want to join. This PIN is generated when someone presents a live kahoot or assigns a kahoot.
Where can I find a game PIN?
You need to receive it from the host of the game.
Game PINs are unique to each kahoot session. They are generated once a kahoot has been launched, and used at kahoot.it or in our app so that learners can join a host’s kahoot.
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 want to play individually, you don't need a PIN, you can follow the steps from this article.
I have a PIN already, how do I join a game?
- 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.
