Potential POV issue
When proof reading the page, I found Kahoot!#Pedagogy to be a bit like ads:
The Kahoot! pedagogy is based on creating a trusted learning space, encouraging a loop from “learner to leader”.
…
The more creative they are encouraged to be with their content, the deeper they will understand the topics set.
In a classroom environment, the typical "learners to leaders" loop is normally as follows:
…
I didn't just remove these contents since I think they are helpful, but I'm not sure the tone is entirely appropriate for WP:POV. I do believe that it can be improved.

Maybe rename this page to Kahoot! Learning Is Awesome!(with the added exclamation mark) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChesterLim15 (talk • contribs) 11:34, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Protection
Due to the large amount of vandalism, should we protect this page? Bugg Bulborb (talk) 23:32, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- It doesn't look like that much vandalism to me. Once a week seems pretty manageable. Grayfell (talk) 23:54, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- I think this page needs to be protected regardless because of its status among immature high school kids (such as myself), and its place in the internet as a huge meme. (Virtualflames) Friday, 7 June, 2019.
Potential Issue
This page needs revised to not read like a corporate manuscript. Alenroh (talk) 01:53, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Kahoot! Acquisitions
My name is Alejandro and I work for Kahoot!. Kahoot! made quite a few acquisitions that are not currently reflected in the "History and development" section. I'd like to suggest adding these acquisitions. Per Wikipedia's conflict of interest rules, I've placed proposed content below (see additions in bold) in hopes that an impartial volunteer will review the additions (indicated in bold below) and consider adding them to the page if the additions comply with Wikipedia's rules for neutrality and sourcing. Thank you in advance for taking a look. Alejandro Viquez Rodríguez (talk) 16:14, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Proposed content |
|---|
As of 2017, Kahoot! ha Afterwards, Kahoot! made a series of acquisitions. It acquired Drops, which was focused on teaching languages, for about $50 million.[9] This was followed by Whiteboard.fi, which develops software for digital, online whiteboards.[10] Kahoot! also acquired the Danish startup Actimo for approximately $33 million. Actimo developed software for training and engaging with employees.[11] It was acquired to expand Kahoot's features for business users.[11] In April 2021, Kahoot! acquired Motimate, a corporate learning company based in Norway, for about $25 million.[12] In 2021, Kahoot! announced that it would acquire SSO digital learning platform Clever, Inc. for $500 million to expand Clever Inc.'s reach globally.[13] Kahoot's user base grew more than 40 percent from 2020 to 2021.[14] In March 2021, the company went public on the Oslo stock exchange.[14]

A few requested edits
I have a few more changes I'd like to request as an editor with a conflict of interest.
I suggest trimming the following, because it is excessively detailed and un-cited (a lot of the information is also incorrect):
Suggested trims |
|---|
As of 2020, a Kahoot creator can now use different question types. The Quiz is the basic type of question. It requires the question and at least 2 options, one of which must be marked as the right answer. Premium adds the possibility to choose between "single select" or "multi-select". Single select means that the player can choose only one option and Multi-select means that the user can select any number of the four options presented. A true or false variant is also available with the main difference being that the only two options (true or false) are fixed and cannot be changed. These two types do not require any account upgrades. The next question type is Open-ended, meaning the players must type in the correct answer to get points. The creator must select the accepted answer, however they can also set multiple accepted answers. The last type of question is Puzzle, which requires the player to align the four options in order, which the creator sets as correct. For example: Align the countries by population from the least populated to the most populated. Kahoot! offers Polls for Premium users. The interface is the same as Quiz, however, there are no correct answers and no points awarded and also Slides, which give the players explanation. The Word Cloud is still "work in progress", however it will be available only for Premium users. In the end of the game, there is an animation of the 3 best players appearing on the winners′ Podium. The players can rate the Kahoot based on their experience. |
I'd like to propose replacing it with the following addition of cited content to the Software and services section:
Extended content |
|---|
It also has features for business users for onboarding, training, events, and live presentations. For example, it can host a PowerPoint presentation with embedded questions for the audience[1] or be used for employee trainings.[2] It is the largest online education service in Europe.[3] It offers applications for teaching kids multiplication and other elementary school topics.[4] |
I also wanted to mention I made some changes directly as un-controversial edits, including improving English, moving current features out of the History section, and various copyedits. I didn't make any substantive changes to the content itself.

Partly done: I completed the removal but not the replacement because it reads too promotional for my comfort. ––FormalDude talk 09:05, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
A few more
I'd like to request three more changes to the page, then I think that will be a wrap for my contributions for the time being. I've outlined the changes here. Pinging @FormalDude: who reviewed my edits last time. Alejandro Viquez Rodríguez (talk) 15:12, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
Question: @Alejandro Viquez Rodríguez: Why do you suggest removing the text about Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and Google Hangouts? And what source do you have for the infobox list of languages? ––FormalDude (talk) 07:25, 28 September 2022 (UTC)- @FormalDude: you can see a list of supported languages here. For the list of technology partners (Zoom, Skype, etc.) the list is out-dated and incomplete. Many of the partners listed are no longer supported while others are. I wouldn't mind updating, correcting, and completing the list, but I think WP:NOTDIRECTORY #5 prohibits lists like this anyway. Alejandro Viquez Rodríguez (talk) 17:07, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Contradictory history regarding it's founders?
In Kahoot!#History and development section, it's stated that "They collaborated with Professor Alf Inge Wang...", while listing 3 main founders, but in Kahoot!#Research and prototypes, it's stated that "The game concept used in Kahoot! started out as an idea of Professor Alf Inge Wang, ...".
To me, it sounds contradictory, since "collaborated with" sounds to me like the 3 founders had the idea, and rather just worked with the Professor to make things happen.
