Commonsense.org- Gimkit is a classroom game-show platform where students compete by answering questions on their electronic devices. Instead of earning points, students earn virtual currency, which they can "invest" during the game to boost their score. Games can be played live or can be assigned as independent practice. Students connect via game codes and can play in a web browser on any internet-connected device. They can compete against each other or collaborate in teams or as a whole class. In KitCollab mode, students help build the game by submitting questions before play begins. Teachers can download detailed student reports after every game.

Per the company's privacy policy, Gimkit accounts are for adults only, but the game questions can be completely student-generated. Teachers can import a student's Quizlet card set or use KitCollab mode, requiring every participant to submit a question in order to join the game. The simplicity of the interface is sometimes limiting, but hopefully, future updates will allow for more question response options.
