• Question

  How can you host a free Kahoot game?

  

  Community Answer

  To host a free Kahoot game, you can create a free account by using Google or an email. After you have created an account, create a set of questions and answers to play and host games with. If you do not prefer your own game sets, you can play different ones made by people all over. Pick a game mode, set your settings, and start the game.
