What is Gimkit?
Gimkit is an interactive, game-based learning platform that turns classroom quizzes into engaging experiences. Created by a high school student, Gimkit allows teachers to build or use pre-made question sets—called “kits”—and run them through different game modes where students earn virtual money by answering correctly. This money can be used to buy upgrades and power-ups, adding a strategic twist to learning. With both live and self-paced modes, Gimkit works well in any classroom setting, encouraging participation, competition, and collaboration. It’s especially popular for its fun, fast-paced gameplay and the way it transforms traditional review sessions into something students actually look forward to.
