How to join Kahoot Game: Steps to Enter with a Kahoot Join Pin

Kahoot! is a game-based global learning platform with more than 11 billion (non-unique) players or participants. You can create and share learning games (also known as kahoots), and host a learning session or assign a kahoot to let others join it to participate. And, in this tutorial, we will show you how to join a Kahoot! game with a Kahoot! Join Pin with step-by-step instructions.

What’s the Kahoot game PIN?

When a host starts a live session or assigns a kahoot (an assigned game or challenge), a unique Kahoot! game PIN, also known as Kahoot! code, join code, or session code is generated automatically. It’s a temporary number (6-10 digits) for each Kahoot game. You can use that game PIN to join an assigned game or a live session with or without any sign-up.

Before we proceed further, you should also look at some important points:

An active internet connection is required to join a game
You must create a unique nickname to participate
You can’t rejoin a game with the same nickname. To rejoin a game, you must pick another unique nickname, and this also resets your score
As a participant, you can’t generate a game PIN. Only a host can do it
You may need an account to join a game if a host has enabled the Player identifier
A Kahoot! game PIN is valid until the game is running (for a live game) or the assignment’s deadline
No game PIN is required for solo play or learn mode.
