When Kahoot! is the better choice
If you need ready-made learning content, study experiences or self-paced assignments, Kahoot! offers those tools for lessons and homework. KaBooom’s current focus is live, host-led quizzes; it does not yet offer self-paced assignments, curriculum tools or individual student progress. Choose based on the tools your lesson needs.
When KaBooom is a good fit
You want a live quiz with your own questions, a shared screen and a clear view of the session’s answers. Bring a class, team or gathering into the same game, and prepare question sets with fellow hosts in a shared library. Players join in a browser with a PIN and nickname.
Explore the hosting toolsThe server controls timing and scoring.
KaBooom’s server closes questions, keeps the first answer it accepts from each player and calculates the score. The correct option reaches phones only after the question closes. Those are claims about our product; we do not make claims about Kahoot!’s protocol.
That does not stop outside research or people sharing answers. Connection speed can still affect timing.
Beta access by invitation.
Contact us to request a beta invitation. The current limit is 500 players per room. This does not guarantee future plan limits or performance on your venue’s network. Test your quiz and connection setup before the event.
