Literally the worst UX I've ever seen
A good UX should be considered "autism-friendly", I have autism and the overstimulating colors makes my skin crawl.
Also, education never equals speed, leaderboards and limited time; your brain needs time, space, and away from traditional leaderboards in order to get a good education.
Just being honest, Eilert Hanoa, if you're reading this, fix Kahoot's UX, make it autism-friendly and make sure that there's an option to remove leaderboards, speed and timer. If you do that, then that's great.
It's sad to see that other autistic people suffered the same fate as me; Kahoot literally ruined my life, and my academic passion. 10/10
Reply from Kahoot!
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear how stressful your experience has been.
Inclusion is a core value at Kahoot!, and we want to create a supportive environment for everyone.
We have been working hard to make our platform accesible and we strive to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
Based on your specific concerns, we wanted to share a few options that hosts can now use:
1. High Contrast Mode – Designed to reduce visual overstimulation and make colors more comfortable.
2. Accuracy Mode & No-Timer Options – Hosts can remove the timer entirely or use Accuracy Mode, which removes the speed factor and rewards correct answers over how fast you click.
3. Kahootopia! – A game mode that focuses on shared classroom goals rather than traditional, competitive leaderboards.
You can learn more about these specific features here: https://kahoot.com/accessibility/.
Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
