What is a Gimkit Code?
A Gimkit code is a code that is made up of numbers sometimes mixed with letters and is generated at random. It specifies a certain Gimkit game (also referred to as a ‘Kit’) or a live game session. These codes are basically the virtual “room keys” which enable the students to join and engage in the Gimkit game.
Where to Find Gimkit Codes
For Teachers:
- When you create a new Kit on Gimkit, a unique code is given to the Kit automatically.
- The code that you have to use can be found on your Gimkit account right next to the name of the Kit.
- In the case of a Live game session, every time when you initiate a session a new code is provided to you for that particular session.
For Students:
- Depending on the type of activity you will be joining, your teacher or instructor will give you the right Gimkit code.
- They could share it verbally, write it on the board, or send it via digital platforms.
