What is Knowt Play?

Knowt Play is a feature Knowt that lets teachers and students review material in a group setting in fun, interactive ways. It turns flashcards, notes, or uploaded content into live quiz games. There are three available modes:

  • Classic – Standard quiz format where each student competes individually.

  • Race – A speed-based game where the fastest correct answers move players ahead.

  • Jeopardy – A board-style game where players pick questions with different point values.
