Host a live game in class to bring your kits to life at www.gimkit.com\/host and create engaging review experiences! You’ll start by picking out the kit you want to use. You can host any public kit, but you’ll only get\u00a0game reports<\/a>\u00a0for kits you own.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Host a live game<\/span><\/h2>\n

Host a live game in class to bring your kits to life and create engaging review experiences!

To host a live game, you’ll just need to

Select a kit<\/span>
Select a game mode<\/span>
Set up your\u00a0game options<\/span>
Share your game code or join link<\/span>
Start your game<\/span>

In case you need a little more guidance, here’s details on how to start hosting a live game<\/p>\n

You’ll start by picking out the kit you want to use. You can host any public kit, but you’ll only get game reports for kits you own

To host a kit, click the green\u00a0Play Live<\/span> button to the right of any of your kits in your dashboard or click “Play Live” from the right-hand pane from inside any kit

\"Play<\/span>

\"Play<\/span>

Next, you’ll see the\u00a0Mode Picker<\/span>\u00a0where you can browse the mode you want to use with your kit.<\/p>\n

Select any mode and click “Learn More” to read details about that mode.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve selected the game mode you want to use, it’ll be outlined in yellow. Click the big\u00a0Continue<\/span>\u00a0button in the upper right-and corner to move to the\u00a0game options<\/span> screen<\/p>\n

The game options screen is where you’ll set up your game. You can decide if you want to connect classes, turn on the Nickname Generator, which game goals you want to use to end the game, whether students can join late, and more

Game options are different depending on the mode you’re playing<\/p>\n

Once you’ve set up your game, click\u00a0Continue<\/span>\u00a0again to get your game started.<\/p>\n

Lobby<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

A new\u00a0Lobby<\/span>\u00a0tab will open with your game code. If you’re playing a 2D mode, you’ll see your character in the lobby and more characters will join as students join.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Lobby<\/span>\u00a0is where your students will gather while you wait for everyone to join. In non-2D modes, the Lobby is where you’ll want to take a look at everyone’s names and kick anyone with inappropriate names.

In 2D modes, you can decide if you want to join the game as a player or spectator. Use the toggle in the lower right-hand corner to change how you join.<\/p>\n

Students need your game code to join your game if you’re not using classes. With\u00a0classes, your students can visit\u00a0gimkit.com\/join\u00a0to\u00a0join your game instantly.

Students joining without classes will visit\u00a0Gimkit.com\/join<\/a>\u00a0and enter your game code to join. Or, you can click the game code to copy a link directly to your game. Share that link with your students and they’ll be able to join your game without entering the game code.<\/p>\n

When you’re ready to get the game going, click\u00a0Start Game<\/span>. this button will be in the lower center for 2D games and in the upper right-hand corner for non-2D games.<\/p>\n

Start Game<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once you click “Start Game,” you and your students will be taken to your game. In non-2D modes, you’ll have a leaderboard screen you can cast to the room. in 2D modes, your screen will show wherever you are on the map.<\/p>\n

\"Lobby
In the upper right-hand corner, you’ll see a panel with game controls. Use these to manage your game, including music & SFX volume, displaying the leaderboard, viewing players, managing your own game if you joined a 2D game as a player, and ending the game.<\/p>\n

If you want to end the game early, just click the\u00a0End Game<\/span>\u00a0button. Otherwise, your game will end when you reach the game goal you set up, usually a time limit for 2D games.<\/p>\n

And that’s it – happy hosting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
