Gimkit is an educational classroom game with a variety of gamemodes, created by Josh Feinsilber and continuously developed by Team Gimkit. In order to host a game, the host first needs to create a Kit, which is a set of multiple-choice and open-response questions. Then, they can pick a gamemode and host one, which can be joined by anyone with the specific 5–6 digit code. These codes are usually longer in Creative modes.
