The Kahoot alternative for rooms that need more than a quiz.
Trivia with a live leaderboard, plus polls, word clouds and upvoted Q&A in the same tool. Players join by scanning a QR code, and the free plan needs no signup.
TL;DR
Kahoot! is the quiz giant. Its question library and game modes are far bigger than ours, and for a teacher running quiz games every day it is hard to beat. QR Polls is built for the whole session rather than just the quiz: a warm-up poll, a word cloud, questions from the audience and a trivia round, all joined from one QR code. If the quiz is the whole event, use Kahoot!. If it is one part of a meeting, workshop or party, QR Polls covers the rest.
