Why event hosts choose Merriments

Not a replacement for Kahoot — a better fit for social events.

Built for parties, not classrooms

Kahoot was designed for teachers and students. Merriments is built from the ground up for social events — the UI, the games, and the vibe are all tuned for maximum fun with adult crowds.

No app needed — ever

Kahoot recommends its app for the best experience. With Merriments, players join entirely in their mobile browser. No one gets left out because they don't want to download another app.

Pay per event, not per month

Kahoot charges a monthly subscription even if you host one event a year. Merriments charges $9 per event — pay only when you use it.

Spin the wheel & more party games

Kahoot is primarily a quiz platform. Merriments includes a live spin the wheel, with more party-native games coming. Built for laughs, not lesson plans.
