Gameplay

The participants are presented with a question that is shown on the screen, and the players must answer the question by typing in the correct answer on their keyboard. When the participants answer the question, they click on the ‘Submit’ button to submit their answer. If the participant is incorrect, or if they take too long to answer, they will receive a 5-second penalty. The game is played by rounds. When the game is finished, the players are shown their score, and they are ranked according to the highest score.

There are three rounds in Kahoot!, and each round is structured differently.

  • The first round is an "answer phase", where the players are given a question and they have to type in the answer. After typing in the answer, they click the "check" button to submit the answer.
  • The second round is a "scramble phase", where there is a question that the players need to unscramble to come up with the answer. The players then submit their answer by typing it into the answer box.
  • The third round is the "final phase" where the players are given a multitude of questions that they have to answer.
