A prompt to build your own version of Kahoot!

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Kahoot!-style app, first version

Build a web app for teachers and party hosts to run multiple-choice quiz games. The main screen should show saved quizzes and a clear Create Quiz button. Let me add questions, answer choices and a correct answer, then save the quiz. Tapping Host should open a sample lobby with a game code and player nicknames. Include a player view where someone enters the sample code and chooses a nickname. Simulate a round with large answer buttons, answer feedback and a leaderboard at the end. Use bright colors, bold readable text and a clean layout that works on a projected screen and phone browsers. Include realistic sample quizzes and players. Keep this first version on sample data without real live networking.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.
