Comparison
Arabic Kahoot alternative: HazerFazer or Kahoot for a family gathering?
Kahoot! is a quiz platform where every player answers on their own phone, while HazerFazer (حزر فزر) is an Arabic trivia game for two teams on one shared screen, and this page explains which one suits an Arabic family gathering, a TV night or a classroom.
Both are group quiz games, but they are built for different rooms. This comparison uses what Kahoot publishes on its own website and help centre (checked 1 October 2026) and what HazerFazer publishes about itself.
How does Kahoot work?
The host opens a game on a big screen and a game PIN appears. Players join on their own devices: they enter the PIN at kahoot.it or in the Kahoot! app, pick a nickname, and need no account. Everyone answers on their own phone, and the classic mode awards points for speed. Kahoot also has other hosting modes, including one where accuracy counts for more than speed and one designed for teams. The host either builds a quiz or plays a public one.
Does Kahoot work in Arabic?
For the interface, yes. Kahoot says its app and platform are translated into Arabic, with a right-to-left Arabic interface on both the host and player screens on the web, and full support in the mobile app. The quiz creator on the web cannot yet be switched to a right-to-left layout, and Kahoot says questions and answers are shown exactly as their author typed them. In other words, the Arabic questions come from whoever writes or picks the quiz. Kahoot does not publish a figure for ready-made Arabic questions, so check what is available before you rely on it.
What does Kahoot cost?
Joining a game is always free, according to Kahoot. To host, the free Kahoot! Go plan is capped at 10 players for personal use. Kahoot's family and friends plans are subscriptions: Plus Bronze is $3 a month billed annually or $9 billed monthly, for up to 50 players; Plus Silver is $7 or $15 for up to 100; Plus Gold is $12 or $25 for up to 200.
When is Kahoot the better choice?
- Classrooms and training: Kahoot describes itself as a learning platform and has plans for teachers and schools.
- Large groups where everyone has a phone: paid plans go into the hundreds of players.
- Your own quiz: you write the questions and add your own images for any topic you know.
- Remote play: Kahoot supports screen sharing through Zoom and Teams.
When is HazerFazer a better Arabic Kahoot alternative?
HazerFazer is an Arabic trivia party game for two teams, played on one shared screen from the browser. It fits a living room better than a classroom:
- One TV, two teams: the teams talk it over around the screen. No phone per player; phones are only needed for the charades questions.
- Ready-made Arabic content: 250+ categories and more than 35,000 questions, from songs, series and football to religion, history, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, and Jordan. Nobody writes anything.
- A ready board: you pick 6 categories and get 36 questions worth 200, 400 or 600 points. The team whose turn it is chooses a tile, and if it misses, the other team can steal it with half the time.
- Power-ups and mini-games: 7 power-up cards (double points, steal, and more) and 8 mini-games such as a map pin and a blind stopwatch.
- No subscription: two free games with every new account, then packs of 3 games for $3.50, 5 for $4.99 and 10 for $7.50, from $0.75 a game. Credits never expire. See pricing.
One account runs the whole session, and the other players need no accounts. More in how to play, and the full list in the category guide.
Where is HazerFazer weaker than Kahoot?
HazerFazer runs in the browser only, with no iOS or Android app. It is in Arabic only, you cannot write your own quiz, it is not built for a big group where everyone plays on their own phone, it has no tournament mode, and its prices are in US dollars. Some other games have more categories.
Which should you pick for a family gathering?
If you have a TV, two teams and want Arabic questions ready to go, HazerFazer is the closer fit. If you want to write your own quiz, or you have a big group answering on their own phones, Kahoot fits better.
