For guidance on how to edit a kahoot on the web platform, read this article.
Shortcuts:
After you’ve created or duplicated a kahoot you can edit it in our mobile kahoot creator.
How to edit an existing kahoot
- Go to the Library tab
- Tap Kahoots and My kahoots
- Tap on the kahoot you wish to edit
- Tap the pencil icon
Cancel and Save
At the top of the creator, there are two important buttons: Cancel and Save.
- Cancel will discard edits you’ve just made. They cannot be recovered later on.
- Save will save your edits. If the checklist is not complete, your game will be saved as a draft.
Drafts cannot be played or shared. You can tap the kahoot checklist at the top of your screen to see what’s missing. Here are the general requirements:
- Title is added
- Description is added
- All questions are complete
- You’re logged in to your Kahoot! account
Kahoot details
Title: A meaningful title that accurately describes what your kahoot is about will help other users find it in search results and understand if it’s relevant. A title can be up to 95 characters.
Description: Our Discover page’s search algorithm weighs keywords found in kahoot descriptions higher than keywords found in questions. You can also add a # in front of words to highlight them as closely related to your kahoot (for example, “A #trivia quiz about #popular #music”). It is therefore important to add a relevant and descriptive summary of your kahoot so that it can easily be found by other users. Descriptions can be up to 280 characters.
Cover image: Adding a cover image is a great opportunity to give more context to your kahoot. Kahoots with cover images are also boosted slightly by our search algorithm, making them more likely to be found by others than kahoots without a cover image. You can take a photo with your device’s camera, upload an image, or from our image library. Images need to be:
- PNG, JPEG, or GIF format, in RGB color mode
- No larger than 5MB or 3264x3264 pixels
Visible to: As long as the kahoot is saved under My Kahoots on the Kahoots page, you can make the kahoot visible to everyone or to only you (private). Kahoots saved in your organization folder have limited visibility options. You can read more about visibility options here.
Intro video: Paste a YouTube video URL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig4_PhHmE2Y) into this field and the video will play full screen in the background while players join your game. This can be just a bit of music, some comedic relief, or an instructional video that provides answers to questions they’ll see.
Questions
Tap on a question to edit it. You can hold and drag questions up and down to reorder them. At the bottom, there is the “Add question” button. You can add up to 100 questions per kahoot.
Question bank: You can search keywords or phrases in the search field. After results are shown, you can toggle between “All questions” (all public kahoots) and “My questions” (only kahoots shown on your Kahoots page). Tap the plus button next to each question you want to add, then tap “Done” to add them. You can add multiple questions at once by tapping the “+” button to the right of each question. Question bank questions can be edited just like a question created from scratch.
- The Question bank is not available to all users. The availability of this feature depends on your subscription level.
- The question bank is not available for young students.

How to edit a duplicate kahoot responses to MC question?
Yesterday I was able to use Spanish characters, accent marks, tildes, upsite down question marks.
Today when I tried to finish the Kahoot that option was unavailable
It is like it is in a different mode.
I duplicated a kahoot and what to modify some answers choices. I can get to edit screen but once there I can't figure out how to change choices. Please help!
