Compete for the *Top Score* in this high-stakes game of Global Pop Culture Trivia. Get ready to answer, score, and win a prize! We will share a screen to display the Kahoot. On the home screen, there will be a code. Participants go to kahoot.it on either mobile or desktop and enter in the code, then they are connected to the Kahoot, and create a username. When questions appear, participants will have four selections to choose from, all color-coded with the answer in each. Once all answer in the allowed time, the system calculates points per player (based on the length between when options are provided, and choice is made). We’ll start with a 3 question practice round so everyone understands how to participate in the Kahoot, before going into 3 rounds of 5 questions.
