About Kahoot
Kahoot is an Oslo quiz platform founded in 2012 by Morten Versvik, Johan Brand, and Jamie Brooker with Professor Alf Inge Wang at NTNU, later joined by Asmund Furuseth, and opened to the public in 2013 so teachers can host live multiple-choice games while students join on phones.
The company page, fetched August 27 2026, lists 14 billion cumulative non-unique participants since 2013, 10 million teachers who hosted a Kahoot in the past 12 months, play in 195 countries, and more than 600 colleagues in Oslo. TechCrunch on July 14 2023 reported a cash offer of $1.7 billion, or 17.2 billion Norwegian kroner, at NOK 35 a share on 492,836,049 shares, a 53.1% premium to the May 22 2023 close of NOK 22.86. A March 18 2024 Kahoot release said Goldman Sachs Asset Management, General Atlantic, KIRKBI, and Glitrafjord took the firm private, the stock left the Oslo exchange in January 2024, and Eilert Giertsen Hanoa remains CEO. People search kahoot each August because classrooms reopen.
What the time series shows
Google Search interest for kahoot repeats an August classroom ramp and a December exam spike on a 261-week series that opened at 39 on August 28 2021 and peaked at 100 on December 21 2024, then dropped to 21 the next week.
The latest ramp is 20 through July 25 2026, 17 on August 1, 19 on August 8, 26 on August 15, and 33 on August 22. Same-week 2025 was 49, then 57 on August 30 and 62 on September 6, so 2026 is 16 points behind last year's same Saturday. Same-week 2024 printed 53. The recent 30-day absolute change is 13 points (20 to 33) against a prior 30-day change of 22 points (42 on June 20 to 20), a seasonal rebuild rather than a new product spike. YouTube prints 22 on August 22 with +4.76% over 7 days and -4.35% over 30 days, so it fails the mover bar. Google Search is the readable classroom calendar.
