| To find out how to assign kahoots via our mobile app, please see this article: |
Assigning a kahoot offers a “learner-paced” experience, meaning that participants or learners move question-to-question at their own pace as opposed to progressing in step with everyone else. Questions and answer alternatives are displayed on each learner’s device. The host does not actively present the kahoot in real-time. They simply set a deadline and share the game PIN or game link with learners. Learners must submit a response to every question before the deadline.

Accessibility tip for blind or visually-impaired learners: Since all text displays on the learner’s device when they play an assigned kahoot, they should be able to use a screen reader on their device to join and answer questions. |

Tech requirements
To assign a kahoot, you should have the following:
- A desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device - make sure a supported web browser or our mobile app is installed.
- An internet connection - be sure to test your venue’s internet at least a few days before any major event. Assigned kahoots are less reliant on the internet than live games. But firewalls may block important URLs, preventing access to assigning or playing kahoots.
How to start an assignment
To assign a kahoot, you need to generate a PIN or link that you can then share with intended players.
To assign a kahoot in a web browser, sign in at kahoot.com, locate a kahoot and click the Assign button.
After you click the “Assign” button, you can set an expiration date and time as well as set game options.
☝️ Depending on the plan, you may have the option to assign a kahoot without a deadline.
Date and time: Date can be set up to 28 days into the future. Time is set to a specific hour (not minute or second).
Game options: These modify gameplay before, during, and after your assignment.
- Player identifier is a new feature that allows tracking player performance across multiple games. Once you or your team have hosted multiple games with player identifier on, you’ll be able to combine reports into one. Learn more about it here.
- Personalized learning uses proven learning methods such as spacing and testing to help learners retain information and master content. After a live game, our Android or iOS mobile app will encourage players to repeat questions they got wrong. Learn more about it here.
- Randomize answer order randomizes how answers are arranged on the screen.
- Friendly nickname generator will choose nicknames for players. Players click or tap a "Spin!" button to generate a nickname. They can spin up to three times.
-
Visibility*: It's possible to choose whether the assigned kahoot should be visible in the Activity feed under the organization.
*available with certain plans only.
Click the “Create” button when you’re ready to get a shareable PIN or link.

How to share an assigned kahoot
After starting an assignment, you can go to your account's Reports page to access the assignment's game report.
At the top, you'll see the PIN, link, and QR code. To find other ways to share the assignment (Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Facebook, Twitter, and Remind), you need to click the <strong">Invite button. </strong">
Available sharing methods may vary based on your account type and subscription plan.
How to check on an assigned kahoot
Curious how many have joined your assignment, or how well they’re performing? Need to locate the PIN or link again? You can check these anytime from your Reports page.
To check on an assigned kahoot in a web browser, sign in at kahoot.com, then click “Reports” at the top of the screen. There you will see all of the reports available to you. Click on the "Assignments" tab to filter out all the games that were assigned as Live Games.
Click the assignment's title to check on player performance.
An in-progress assignment's report will show you how much time remains before the assignment ends, as well as its PIN, link, and direct-share options. You can also see how many players have started your assignment, their player identifiers, how many have completed one or both steps in personalized learning, and more.
Can players resume the assignment with their progress saved?
Players playing via a browser can leave the assignment before the end and return to finish it later, with their progress saved. This can be done through the "Your learning" section (for personal workspaces) or the "Assigned to me" section (for organizational workspaces). There is no need for players to be members of the same workspace as the host, and a subscription is not required for the player.
However, the host must assign the challenge via email (using the player identifier), and the host does need a specific subscription to assign the game in this manner.
Players can also resume a challenge by rejoining it in the same browser, as long as the following conditions are met:
- The browser’s cache hasn’t been cleared.
- No other player has completed the challenge in the same browser.
- No other challenge has been joined in the meantime.
Alternatively, players can play in our mobile app. Progress in the mobile app is always saved and can be resumed through the Active section on the Home screen. Players do not need to be logged in to have their progress saved, they just need to use the same app on the same device to resume the assignment.
It's not possible to rejoin an assignment with the same nickname, even if the player was removed from the assignment's report.

Hi @avazquez3176!
I think what's easiest would be subjective, based on your situation and needs. Some may find that posting the URL in an internal communications tool like slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Classroom is easier. It really depends on what tools your organization uses and how they're put to use.
Is it easier just to send the assigned assignment via email to our MLS?
Можно ли установить конкретные дату и время НАЧАЛА викторины?
Hi gimnaziamst!
Setting a when an assignment starts isn't possible. It simply starts immediately after you create the assignment. But you will need to share the PIN, link, or QR code so that your audience can access it. So however you decide to share access to your quiz, you may be able to delay sharing.

Hi Kahoot team,
Could you please provide answers to the following questions?
Hello apinya.verztec, You can host multiple rounds of a live game on Event Day. There is no specific limit to the number of rounds, and you can combine the reports from different rounds to analyze data and determine the overall winner. For each round, a new game session is started, and after the sessions, reports can be combined to track overall performance. Similarly, you can host multiple quiz games on Event Day. Kahoot!'s event plans provide access for a duration of up to 90 days, allowing you to create, rehearse, and conduct as many quiz games as you need during this period. This makes it possible to conduct multiple quiz games based on your event schedule without any restrictions on the number. Kahoot! allows shuffling of quiz questions. This feature can help in presenting the questions in a different order each time the quiz is played, ensuring a more dynamic and engaging experience for the participants. Once the Event Day is over, you can assign the quiz to participants for practice. The reports indicate that assignments can be set up, allowing participants to complete the quizzes asynchronously within a specified timeframe. For comprehensive guidance on event plans, hosting live games, and assignments, you can refer to the article: "Guide for one-time events"
