Quiz maker for live, interactive sessions

Quizzes improve learning in three ways: they create active recall (retrieving information strengthens memory more than re-reading), they raise engagement (competition and immediate feedback keep attention high), and they surface knowledge gaps in real time (the leaderboard and answer distribution show what the group does and doesn't know). Research on retrieval practice and gamification consistently shows quizzes outperform passive review for retention.

Yes — Mentimeter's AI quiz generator builds quiz questions from a topic or your own content. Give it a subject area, paste in your notes, or upload a document, and the AI generates ready-to-use questions with answer options and correct answers marked. You can edit anything, swap questions, or add your own before running the quiz live.

Yes — Mentimeter's quiz maker is widely used in corporate training, onboarding, and L&D programmes. Generate quizzes from training materials, run them live during sessions or remote training, and see how participants performed in real time. The combination of live competition and immediate feedback makes information stick more than passive slide-based training. Common use cases include onboarding knowledge checks, sales training assessments, and compliance refreshers.

Kahoot is a dedicated learning-games platform, used primarily as a standalone activity. Mentimeter's quiz maker is part of a broader interactive presentation tool — you can mix quiz questions with live polls, word clouds, Q&A, and regular slides in the same session. If you want a self-contained game, Kahoot fits well. If you want quizzes integrated into a meeting, training session, or lecture flow, Mentimeter is built for that.
