My granddaughter has been using this in her online public school class. Here are two extremely annoying aspects when this is being used live with all of the students participating......One: That Shop button just above the Continue button increases the chances of hitting it when trying to answer questions quickly, which then produces a wrong answer. The fact that other players can win because they earned more $ by hitting the Shop button to get more $ instead of students who actually get all answers correct is a huge flaw. It's not as clean of a design as the other reviewers have stated. If you clean those items up, it would be awesome. Thanks

Hi @joshdotjs!! Great approach to gamifying learning. How does Gimlet differ from Kahoot exactly?

@thesameerk Great question! There's a lot of things that makes Gimlet different -Everything lives on the student's device, meaning the questions and answers. This allows students to go at their own pace instead of rushing which often occurs with Kahoot -Strategy. In our game, there is a bit of strategy to make gameplay more interesting. Students can purchase upgrades to earn money faster. There are over 4,000 different combinations at launch -Statistics -- from our testing, in the same length of time, students answer 4x the amount of questions as Kahoot. This gives us a lot more data to give back to teachers on how their students are doing -Ease of use: Through Gimlet Fusion, we have 150 million Quizlets which can be converted instantly into Gimlets

Gimkit is such an inspiring project — I love seeing how a fun, game-based approach can make learning so much more engaging for students. The fact that it was created entirely by high school students is amazing! 🎓🎮 When I’m taking a break from work or exploring new educational tools, I enjoy playing Doodle Cricket 🏏. It’s a light, nostalgic game that’s perfect for a quick mental refresh.
