Kahoot! is a Norwegian online game-based learning platform, similar to Quizlet, Gimkit, and Blooket.[3] It has learning games, also known as "kahoots", which are user-generated multiple-choice quizzes that can be accessed via a web browser or the Kahoot! app.[4][5]
In July 2023, Kahoot agreed to be acquired by Goldman Sachs Asset Management alongside General Atlantic, Glitrafjord, and others in a $1.72 billion all-cash deal.[6]
