About Halfdans Quiz
Halfdan's Quiz is an always free Kahoot alternative for classrooms, friends and teams. Create a quiz with 1–10 questions, four answer options each, and optional images. Start the game on a shared screen and players join on their phones with a 4-digit PIN, picking a nickname and avatar – no player account required. Each question has a 20-second timer, faster correct answers earn more points, and a live top three leads to a final podium. No subscription required.
Halfdan's Quiz is a free, browser-based live quiz game made for anyone who wants the fun of a Kahoot-style quiz without subscriptions, upgrade prompts or complicated settings. It focuses on the essentials of a good group quiz: your own questions, a big shared screen, colourful answers on every player's phone and a podium at the end.
Creating a quiz takes a few minutes. The quiz host signs in, writes between one and ten questions and gives each question four answer options. Images can be added to questions if you want a picture round, a logo quiz or a visual hint. Keeping quizzes to a maximum of ten questions makes every game short, focused and easy to fit into a lesson, a meeting or a party.
When it is time to play, the host starts the game on a shared screen such as a projector, smartboard, TV or laptop. Players open the site on their own phones, type the 4-digit game PIN and choose a nickname and an avatar. Players do not need an account, an app download or an email address, which makes it quick to get a whole class, office or family into the same game.
Each question appears on the big screen with a 20-second countdown, while the players' phones show the four colours to tap. Scoring rewards both knowledge and speed: correct answers that come in faster earn more points. Between questions everyone can follow the top three, and the game ends with a podium celebrating the winner. The simple rule – the question goes on the big screen, the colours go on your phone – keeps attention in the room and makes the game easy to understand for all ages.
Halfdan's Quiz works well for teachers who want a quick review or warm-up in class, for teams running an icebreaker or a Friday quiz, for event hosts, and for friends and families planning a quiz night at home. Because hosting is free with no subscription required, it is a practical choice for schools, clubs, associations and small organisations with no budget for quiz software.
Many people search for a free Kahoot alternative because they only need the core experience: write questions, share a PIN, play live and see who wins. Halfdan's Quiz was built around exactly that. It does not try to be a full learning platform; it is a lightweight live quiz tool that loads in the browser and gets out of the way.
Getting started is easy: open halfdansquiz.com, try the five-question sample quiz to see how a round feels, and then build your own. A typical game of ten questions takes only a few minutes to play.
The project is made by Halfdan Timm as an independent side project built with Lovable. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Kahoot!. Try the sample quiz on the homepage, then create your own free quiz and host your first game in minutes at halfdansquiz.com.
