What students think

Educators weren't the only ones who spoke up. Students have been clear: they love the low-stress, fairer feel of Accuracy mode. This mode isn't just about answering questions-it's about encouraging students to do their best without the pressure of being first. For some classes, that's a total game-changer. High school students in class with Kahoot! Ambassador, Mohammed A. of Bahrain, explained: "My 9th graders screamed when they saw Accuracy mode on the screen. One said, 'It's great that the new game mode doesn't require speed!'".

How to use Accuracy mode across different class and curriculum goals

No two classrooms are the same, and that's exactly why Accuracy mode is designed to be flexible. Whether you're teaching multiplication facts, literary analysis, or world history, this new mode brings a fair, focused, and inclusive game dynamic to any subject area.

Here are a few ways educators are putting Accuracy mode into action:

Elementary education: Building confidence through low-pressure practice. For younger learners, quick-response games can sometimes lead to frustration. Accuracy mode shifts the focus from speed to success.

• Strengthen foundational skills like sight words, math facts, or vocabulary.
• Build student self-esteem with equal chances to get answers right.
• Encourage whole-class review in a safe, supportive setting.

Middle & high school: Reinforcing mastery, not memorization. Lessons move fast, so it's important to pause and make sure key concepts are sticking.

• Strategize cumulative unit reviews, test prep, or exit tickets.
• Support equity in the classroom with same-time response limits.
• Reduce anxiety, especially in diverse and neurodivergent learners.

Higher education and adult learning: Encouraging thoughtful engagement. For adult learners, future educators, or professional training, Accuracy mode fosters reflection and deeper learning.

• Differentiate case-based scenarios, discussion-based questions, or concept checks.
• Create inclusive learning in multilingual or inclusive classrooms where varied pacing is key.
• Encourage depth over speed, ideal for complex content.

Cross-curricular connections: From SEL to STEM, Accuracy mode doesn't just support academic rigor-it supports emotional well-being.

• In STEM, promote careful problem-solving and process thinking.
• In ELA and humanities, encourage deeper reading and interpretation.
• In SEL settings, remove competition and foster peer support.
