Problem
Why Kahoot is not enough in a professional setting
Many interactive tools such as Kahoot or Quizlet raise data protection questions – which makes them hard to use in a professional setting:
Data also outside the EU
Kahoot also transfers data to third countries such as the USA – extra review work for schools, public authorities and companies.
No provider from Germany
Provider based in Norway, data storage not fixed to Germany – for many procurements in Germany and the EU an exclusion criterion.
No phone support
Help is only available via a contact form and help centre.
This puts companies, schools and institutions in a dilemma: interactive teaching matters – but it has to be legally sound and simple.

With QuizAcademy you get a GDPR-compliant platform, developed in Germany and run in the AWS Frankfurt region.

What our users say
Translated from German.
As a further education academy, we decided that our trainers should no longer use Kahoot. QuizAcademy seemed a suitable alternative. We were able to introduce QuizAcademy to all our trainers and, after an extensive trial phase, only pay licences for trainers who want to use QuizAcademy in the long term.
Markus HornaffEducation, GenoAkademie GmbH & Co. KG
Data protection is of course very important to us. We are very glad to have found in QuizAcademy a GDPR-compliant alternative to Kahoot that is extremely easy and intuitive to use. The import from Kahoot is also a big plus.
Kerstin PoloniIHK Potsdam, Head of Education Services
We were able to run a live event with more than 120 participants without any problems. The participants were thrilled, and we also liked being able to add our own logo and colour code. For us it is now more than just an alternative to Kahoot.
Christian KlugeManaging Director, Smart Pricer GmbH
It is great that we could test QuizAcademy extensively in the free version and that support was easy to reach and helped quickly when we had questions. Thanks to the support team’s tips, we now use it for much more than just an alternative to Kahoot.
