Kahoot Flooder setup and lobby controls

How it works

1. Check you're allowed

   Use a game you host or have permission to test.

2. Enter the lobby

   Add the live PIN and the number of players.

3. Watch the roster

   The run card counts the players that joined.

How to flood Kahoot lobby codes you host, step by step

1. Open Flooder

   Choose Kahoot in the dashboard and switch to the Flooder tab.

2. Enter the Lobby code

   Type the game PIN from the host's screen. Spaces are removed; the code must be 3 to 32 letters, numbers, dashes or underscores.

3. Set Bot count

   Pick 1 to 50 players. The default is 10.

4. Choose the names

   Random names is on by default and gives names like AmberNova42. Turn it off for StudyBot1, StudyBot2 and so on. There's no field for your own names.

5. Press Start Flooder

   Do it while the lobby is open. The Kahoot bots join game lobbies one after another, so the count climbs for a few seconds.

What the run card shows

The card first says it is preparing the roster, then Live roster active with a count such as “8 of 10 Kahoot flooder bots are connected to lobby 1472216.” The session log lists each player: “AmberNova42 connected to lobby …” or “… could not join:” followed by Kahoot's reason. Read those lines when fewer players arrive than you asked for.

How long the players stay

The players stay in the game until it ends, then the roster leaves and the card says “Flooder roster left the lobby after the game ended.” A roster also stops when the host closes the game or removes the players, and after 4 hours at most, whichever comes first. If StudyOutlaws restarts a server during a run, the saved roster reconnects to the same lobby on its own.

Only one Kahoot Flooder roster runs per account at a time. Pressing Start Flooder again while one is active tells you it's already running instead of starting a second one.

Kahoot participant controls that affect the Flooder

• Removing players: the host can remove any bot from the lobby or game. Removed players don't come back.
• Locking the lobby: new players can't join. The run reports “Kahoot game is locked.”
• Nickname generator: the bots still join, because they tell Kahoot their names came from the generator.
• Two-step join or a player identifier: no bot can join, because each player has to copy a pattern from the host's screen or enter an ID the host gave them.
• A name already in the game: the bot retries with a short code added to its name.

Messages and fixes

• Dashboard Flooder could not join any bots: Kahoot game not found: the PIN has a typo, is from an earlier game, or the game closed. Copy the current PIN.
• Kahoot game not available: the game ended or the lobby isn't open yet. Start a new run while the lobby is open.
• Kahoot game is locked: ask the host to unlock the lobby, then start again.
• Lobby codes must be 3-32 letters, numbers, dashes, or underscores: remove anything that isn't part of the PIN.
• Fewer players joined than you asked for: read the could not join lines in the log. The host may have removed players or locked the lobby part-way.
• You want more players: wait for the current roster to end, then start another run. Check the lobby first so you don't add more than you meant to.

A Kahoot spammer, not an answer tool

Searches for a Kahoot spammer or Kahoot bot spammer usually mean this tool: of the StudyOutlaws Kahoot tools, it's the one that fills a lobby with players and does nothing else. The players don't answer questions and don't show answers. For answers, use the Answer Solver; for one player that answers for you, use the Game Joiner Bot. Use the Flooder only on a game you host or have permission to test, because everyone in the game sees the extra names.

Plan and credits

The Flooder is part of Pro and Ultimate, and the eligible individual Pro trial covers it. Each run uses 5 task credits, charged when the run starts, whatever the bot count. On Free the tab shows Upgrade needed.
