When Kahoot is the better pick
- You're teaching, or checking what people learned in a training session.
- You have 30 or more people in a hall with a projector.
- You want to write your own quiz questions.
When Kiasu Games is the better pick
- It's a party or a team social, and the point is getting to know each other.
- You don't have a projector or a big screen.
- Your group is mixed, and a trivia quiz would leave some people out.
- You'd rather nobody felt slow or came last.
- Your team is spread out on a call.
Games to play instead of a quiz at a team social
Spot the Fib, Work pack: everyone writes two true facts, the AI adds one fib, and the team guesses the fake. You'll learn who used to be a lifeguard. 3 to 10 players.
Most Likely, Work pack: office-safe "who's most likely to" questions. Best with a team that already knows each other. 3 to 10 players.
In Sync: for pairs, like new joiners and their buddy. Answer the same question in secret, then reveal together. Free.
Bigger team? Split into tables of 4 to 8, with one phone per table.

Questions
Is there a Kahoot for adults? Kahoot itself works for adults, but it's a quiz. For a party, Kiasu Games has games about the people playing instead, like two truths and a lie, with no host screen and no timers.
What can we play instead of Kahoot at an office party? Spot the Fib with the Work pack: everyone writes two true facts, the AI adds a fib, and the team guesses the fake. Most Likely also has an office-safe Work pack.
Do we need a projector or a big screen? No. Kiasu Games runs on one phone passed around, or on everyone's own phone. There's no shared screen.
Is Kiasu Games made by Kahoot? No. Kiasu Games is a small, independent party game website from Singapore. It has no link with Kahoot.
