For two young entrepreneurs working out of a third floor office in HSR Layout, Bengaluru, nothing is more cheering than to receive email, tweets and videos from teachers using their quiz app in places like Alaska, Mombasa and Jakarta. Three-quarters of Quizizz users are in the US where it has a presence in 50% of schools, says co-founder Ankit Gupta. The app is catching on in other countries too, with Indonesia and Japan showing the most traction in Asia. Although there are a number of quiz gaming apps, the one that comes closest to the Quizizz model is a Norwegian app called Kahoot. For example, on Quizizz, students can answer questions at their own pace instead of feeling the pressure to keep up with the quicker ones.
