Kahoot is a game-based learning platform that can be used for educational, professional, or casual purposes. You can create a Kahoot account for free, granting you access to several basic features. Educators may be interested in purchasing one of Kahoot's subscription services, but we recommend working with your school or district in order to secure a bundled deal.
