Kahoot! game PIN: game pins are temporary codes that identify Kahoot! game sessions. A game PIN is one of the ways to join a Kahoot! game started by another Kahoot!'er. Learn how to find a Kahoot! PIN and start Kahoot!'ing now.
When you go to https://kahoot.it, or open our mobile app and tap the Join button, you see a field that requires a Game PIN.
💡 As a player, you need to receive the PIN from the host of the game session.
☝️ This PIN is generated when someone presents a live kahoot or assigns a kahoot.
☝️ If you want to join a simultaneous live game and can see the host's screen, the PIN is displayed at the top of the game's lobby.
☝️ As a player in a game, you can't generate a PIN. You must be given a Kahoot! game PIN by someone that's hosting a game.
☝️ Kahoot! 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 players can join a host’s session.

I want a refund because I'm dissatisfied. Despite creating 20 questions, I haven't had any success, yet I'm still being charged on my bill, despite already paying it.
Hi CDFR2019
Sorry to hear you're dissatisfied.
From your description: "Despite creating 20 questions, I haven't had any success" I can't say why you haven't succeeded yet, but I would love to help you succeed and turn you into a satisfied Kahoot! user.

Hi, I am having difficulty with the Pin question. I have tested my question twice. The pins show on the participants phone screen but not on my screen (I have the host). How do I correct this?
Hi ERSRRTeam,
When you present your kahoot live, you can not see the pin on the screen you're presenting/hosting with - only the players that have joined your game.
Once they have finished the question, your hosting screen should show the correct area and all the pins the players have added individually.

Is there a way for participants to join a Kahoot once the Kahoot presentation is already started??
Is there a way to have a pin selected prior to starting the game? I would like to create QR code posters/printouts to the actual kahoot without having to have all participants type in the pin as some may not be able to see the screen at one of my larger events.
Hi carissabasedow
To your question: "Is there a way for participants to join a Kahoot once the Kahoot presentation is already started?? "
The answer is: "YES" 🤩
During a Live kahoot, users can join the running game via the pin information shown in the bottom of the screen during a live kahoot.
See example below.
Hi again carissabasedow

To answer your question: "The pin code is generated when you start your live kahoot, so you can not get the pin code before starting a game.".
To offer a few suggestions to solve this here's some inputs you might find useful:
