Contact Kahoot Play Create Quizzes Support

I’m an educator and I’ve repeatedly tried to make Kahoot work for my classes. They have strict character limits that make it unusable for more complex questions/answers. Thankfully, they now have a work-around that allows you to import slides. So this morning, I spent several hours of my precious time setting up a kahoot with imported slides. After several hours of work to set it up (precious hours of an overworked, underpaid educator’s time, time that I could have used grading, preparing other lessons, etc., time that I will NEVER GET BACK), it wouldn’t let me publish the kahoot without entering my credit card information. They wanted me to authorize a $180 charge on my credit card (after the 7-day “free trial”) just to use the quiz game I had already spent hours creating. I am LIVID. I know these marketing techniques are common, but using them on overworked, underpaid teachers (especially during a pandemic) is just plain cruel and disrespectful They shouldn’t have allowed me to import my slides and go through all that effort. And they really need to get rid of the character limits. (People have been asking them to do so for years, but I guess this would undermine their scheme).

I have been playing Kahoot! a lot of times in school but the most thing I hate about Kahoot is the sounds it makes when you get it wrong and this is basically based on speed because the person who made or hosted the Kahoot could just put a 10 second timer and it goes down fast so we are forced to answer quickly and it doesn’t make sense why you need to be fast to answer questions because if you get one wrong by focusing and the fast person gets it right when they are like 1,000 points away they just for some reason get 1,000 points and beat the player infront of them and it doesn’t make sense For the player who is taking their time. And for the incorrect sounds they just go low and it starts to get annoying the more you play Kahoot and I have been playing it ever since 1st grade just get rid of the incorrect sounds and the extra points for speed. I’d also rather play quizziz or quizlet of prodigy instead of Kahoot

Kahoot! is mostly based off of speed and not actual smarts, someone could get 1 or 2 questions wrong and go really fast while someone else could get 100% and go slow and steady, guess who will get first? The person who went really fast, another reason it’s bad is that you can’t see the questions and answers unless your teacher had a projector or something else to project, the only way you can see them is if you do a challenge, I understand this may be to prevent random people from also doing the Kahoot but make it a setting so that others can see the question and answer. So while this game is not good as a study tool, you can use it for other things such as team building activities if you know how to work it right, you could make it in team mode and challenge everyone to work together in order to win, but otherwise it’s not really a good study tool as it’s speed over smarts.
