COMPARE · KAHOOT!
A Kahoot alternative for the living room
Kahoot! made the live multiple-choice quiz famous. The Party Quiz has that too — plus a game-show board with buzzers and a proper pub quiz — and no paid plan to unlock more players.
The short answer
Choose Kahoot! for lessons, training and large events: it has a huge library of ready-made quizzes, reports, many question types and plans for up to hundreds of players.
Choose The Party Quiz for a party or quiz night around one TV: a game-show board with phone buzzers, a pub quiz with answer sheets, and a quickfire round much like Kahoot's — with teams scored fairly and no paid plan to unlock more players.

Where Kahoot! is the better choice
If you teach, train or run large events, Kahoot! has years of features built for that: a large library of ready-made quizzes, reports on how each player did, integrations and plans that scale to big audiences. If you want to pick an existing quiz and play it in five minutes, its library is hard to beat.
Where The Party Quiz is the better choice
If the evening is a party, a pub night or a family gathering around one TV, The Party Quiz fits it better: buzzers that make people shout, action squares that get them off the sofa, a pub quiz that keeps the answer sheets, and scoring where a big team has no head start. It's free, with no per-player fee, and the TV and phones speak six languages.
Kahoot comparison questions
Is The Party Quiz a free alternative to Kahoot?
Yes. It's free with no paid tier and no per-player fee. Its quickfire format works much like a Kahoot game: a question on the TV, options on every phone, faster answers scoring more.
Can I import my Kahoot quizzes?
Not directly. The Party Quiz imports its own quiz files; a Kahoot quiz would need its questions copied across, or the AI can draft a new one on the same theme.
Does The Party Quiz have a Kahoot-style app?
No app at all — for the host or the guests. Everything runs in the browser, on the TV and on the phones.
