In their own words
Gimkit
Gimkit is a web-based live learning game in which educators host review activities for students. Teachers create kits containing questions, answers, and media, then choose a language and subject. Hosts can configure goals, late joining, nickname generation, class connections, and options specific to each mode. The service includes quiz mode and live polling. Public kits can be shared by link and searched; anyone with the link can view their questions and answers, while private kits are excluded from the School Library. Gimkit Basic generally rotates three free game modes and includes classes and game reports. Pro provides all modes, assignments, image uploads, and audio questions. Assignments let students play independently and report results, but are limited to 2D modes without teams or groups. Live games allow up to 500 students, while 2D modes allow up to 60. Gimkit Creative is free, with map storage of three on Basic, 10 on Pro, and 25 on Season Ticket. Pro is listed at $59.88 a year or $14.99 a month.
