BACKGROUND
Between each question in a Quiz or Jumble, Kahoot! shows a top 5 scoreboard. Sometimes, game hosts want to hide the points system until the very end. They don't want players focused on their performance or who they're behind.
SOLUTION
It would be great to have a game option to hide leaderboards between questions. It would also be nice if leaderboards were togglable in the middle of games. For example, when the graph that shows totals for each answer choice, this would be a good time to display a "show leaderboard" button.
WORKAROUND
Automatic assigning of points can't be done within Kahoot! if you want to prevent scoreboards from showing during gameplay. For now, the best thing that can be done is to create Surveys instead of Quizzes. Surveys do not include scoreboards or award points. If you want to identify a winner after, you can download the Survey's results and assign points to players based on the answers chosen.

Thank you all for your feedback regarding the ability to turn off the leaderboard between questions. We understand that this has been a long-standing request from many users.
We are aware of the demand for this feature, and we are continuously working on improving our platform and take user feedback seriously.
While I cannot provide a specific timeline for when this feature might be implemented, please know that your input is valuable and has been noted by our product development team.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
I agree with the original comment above - I do want it to be a quiz and to show the results at the end, but not at every step. Also, if there were a way to at least adjust the leaderboard to a shorter display length, that would be better than what we have now - as 5 seconds for transition time and another 5 seconds for the leaderboard on every question is a very long time to waste between questions... Thank you
We'd also love the option to skip the results showing after each question. Agree that it eats up a great deal of precious time.
It seems that this has been talked about for two years. How about it Kahoot! team? Can you please offer the option to show/hide leaderboards between questions? My students find it distracting from the subject matter. And seeing the points at the end is important to them. Thank you!
Still waiting for kahoot to anser on this subject
Ditto - I want to use an existing Kahoot! for a formal assessment but don't want the kids to see each others progress/scores. Please make this an option, Kahoot!
As a business looking to invest in the tool I think this would be a great added feature. I would like the option to disable or customize when the scoreboard will be shown. It is easier as a presenter to keep the flow moving and only show the score board periodically or at the end. Please look into making this a feature.
I don't mind scores showing if they are generic scores like "5000", but I need to be able to hide the results when they say "Sally scored 8 out of 10 questions". Can you please help KAHOOT?!
I agree. It would be good that the scores could be hidden, even in a quizz. Thank you
@Klivecchi I agree exactly - Kahoot, please create an option not have the leaderboard in-between questions but only the final scores at the end.
oui entièrement d'accord cela permettrait de faire des évaluation en fin de module avec correction automatique ! très interressant !
We would like the option to remove the scoreboard after each question. After our question, we would like a follow up slide to explain the answer however, the leaderboard makes the quiz feel unorganized. We would like: 1. question 2. follow up slide 3. leaderboard. or just remove the leaderboard until the end all together. We used mentimeter previously and it worked seamlessly, we are now doubting the capabilities of kahoot and are very surprised to see this request has not been addressed from 4 years ago!
6 years later and the request for disabling the leaderboard in between questions hasn't been addressed? Wish I knew the platform limitations before I purchased.
Hi kbusse89! There actually has been progress on this, though the specific request to manually toggle leaderboards on/off between each question hasn't yet been implemented.
Looking at situations where leaderboards are most desired to be hidden, we now do not display leaderboards after slides or opinion-gather question types. But if a question yields points to correct answers, a leaderboard will appear afterward. The only exception is if it's the final question, wherein the podium will appear instead.
So hope is not lost on this! Progress has been made.
Hey there - passing by to say that I'm right now trying to optimize my Kahoot for a large training next week, and I really wish I could save time by hiding the leaderboards between questions. Thanks for your support and efforts to make that possible.
I have the opposite problem. I have tested my quizzes and the leaderboard only shows to me, not to the participants. how do I get the leaderboard to show to everyone after each question? It creates competition and keeps people engaged.
I totally agree on the need for hiding leaderboard between questions. If I set up an assigned quiz, I sometimes don't want to reveal the points until the whole quiz period is finished. So a possibility for hiding both the leaderboard between questions and (or) the podium at the end would be appreciated. Both for assigned and for live quizzes, of course.
Let me ask this. Not that it was not before.
Can we please have an option to hide the leaderboard until the end?
I sometimes have small groups and some of the lower-scoring individuals seem embarrassed/upset that others can see their struggle.
For individual comfort reasons, can we please hide the leaderboard until the end?
As stated multiple times, showing the leaderboard after each question has lead to kids accusing others of cheating, giving up, and arguing over who is smarter. Please, please take this seriously and give users the option of showing the leader board after each question. I also agree that between showing the answer results and then the leader board it adds excessive time to the quiz. I like to use Kahoot has an alternative to a paper test but the rush for points and the leaderboard make this impractical since students are more focused on speed than making sure they are correct.
I cannot believe that Kahoot has not added the option to hide/show the leaderboard in general. We need to minimize competition at certain times (it has been six years the first time this topic was brought up). This hide/show option would be perfect to meet the needs of our groups.
Agree with everyone above -- the ability to hide the leaderboard seems like a reasonable option to include? And I get that you can eliminate it if questions are created as a survey, but I often use the same questions for both the "game" activities with my class and the test/quiz. I don't want to have to create two different Kahoots just to eliminate the leaderboard.
I agree with all above who want to turn off the leader board between questions. It's sad that Kahoot just ignores this request after 6 years!
I am looking for a new platform that allows this. Calming down the class after each question is just about unbearable.
