👋 Welcome Back!

We hope you had a wonderful, relaxing summer.

We're excited to share some big updates to help you make learning fun & engaging this year. Watch the video below or keep reading to see what's new!

Assignments go 2D  🙌

We rebuilt assignments from the ground up! You can now assign 2D game modes as homework, making assignments more dynamic and engaging.

There's a lot that's different with the new version of assignments. Read about everything we changed here.

Answer Review 🧐

Over the summer, we added our most-requested product suggestion of all time. Now, your students automatically see the correct answer for 3 seconds when they miss a question. This improves content mastery by slowing them down and giving them some time to soak in the correct answer.

We’re growing a new mode… 🌱

We’re working on a new game mode we think your students will dig. We’re not ready to say too much yet. Just planting a seed to see if any ideas sprout up…

From new assignments to new modes, we can't wait to see what you do with Gimkit this school year!

Tidbits 🧩

Gimkit is free! — In case you missed it, we made Gimkit free last November. You can play Gimkit for free with as many students as you want and there are no limits on the number of kits you can create.

Nickname generator — You can now enable a nickname generator when hosting a live game, forcing students to use a classroom-safe nickname. Learn more here.

Practice Mode — Want students to be able to practice content whenever they want? Send students a practice link for any of your kits! Upon visiting, students can practice answering the questions for as long as they’d like! Learn more here.

Cosmetics are back! — The Item Shop and earning XP/GimBucks returns August 23rd. We’ve got some awesome new Gims coming your way, as well as a new kind of cosmetic!

GiveKit — We donate $500 every month to help pay for your school materials, first aid kits, tech tools, furniture, and anything else you may need to do your best work. Learn more and apply here.
