Kahoot! stands with Ukraine

Kahoot! is committed to supporting Ukrainian educators and learners affected by the current crisis. To protect the integrity of our platform and our users, we will suspend offering Kahoot!’s services in Russia, with the exception of self-study.

Ukrainian educators and learners need our support

We are deeply troubled and concerned by the violence and loss of life resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We stand with the people of Ukraine and we hope for the swiftest and most peaceful possible end to the current crisis. 

Kahoot! has received a number of requests from schools and educators in Ukraine requesting the help of our services to continue teaching despite the disruption of the war. We have supported each of these and we are now offering Kahoot! EDU solutions for free for both K-12 and higher education institutions for one year to Ukrainian schools in need. In addition, we are fast-tracking translation and localization of the Kahoot! platform into Ukrainian. 

Suspending commercial services and sales in Russia

Our commercial footprint in the Russian market is very limited. We do not have offices or representation in the country, nor do we have any physical operations or data services there. The overwhelming majority of our users in Russia are teachers and students using our free service.

Kahoot! is abiding by the international sanctions regime, and does not allow sales to sanctioned individuals or entities in Russia. Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kahoot! initiated a process to suspend offering of all commercial services in Russia. This includes but is not limited to online sales, assisted sales, app store sales and prohibiting sales to Russian corporations and organizations.

Prioritizing safe and secure use of the Kahoot! platform

As part of our mission to make learning awesome, and as education remains a fundamental human right, we offer teachers, students and personal users free access to our platform. We do this in more than 200 countries and regions in a spirit similar to public commons services, such as Wikipedia. 

Similarly, inclusivity is one of Kahoot!’s overarching values. As such, our aim is to, whenever and wherever possible, offer children, schools and others the opportunity to use digital tools for impactful education and learning, irrespective of their background or location. This has been our guiding principle also for offering our service in Russia.

Among our first responses to the crisis was to swiftly expand our global moderation team’s monitoring on all Russia-related content to safeguard the integrity of the platform. 

However, as the situation continues to escalate, it is vital that we are able to ensure that our platform is used according to our own guidelines and standards. Therefore, in addition to suspending sales, we will be taking all possible and necessary steps to suspend access to Kahoot! services in Russia, with the eventual exception of self-study mode which will feature only content verified by Kahoot!.

This will enable students, school children and other individual users to continue their learning journeys both safely and responsibly. We will continue to assess ways in which our services can be offered safely and responsibly to support all learners and educators, also those based in Russia. 

Supporting our employees 

At Kahoot!, we are not just a team in name, we are a team in practice. As such, we are committed to the well-being of our employees, especially those with ties to Ukraine, or those that in other ways are particularly affected by the war. We are providing these colleagues with any support we can. 

Acknowledging the current situation, the Kahoot! Group made an emergency aid donation to Save the Children and the Norwegian Refugee Council. This is a contribution to support life-saving assistance and protection for innocent Ukrainian children, families and refugees. 

As the situation in Ukraine continues to develop our teams across the company are actively monitoring the crisis so that we can respond in the most responsible and supportive way possible. 

Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine, their loved ones, and anyone affected by this crisis.

By Elie Wiesel

'Night' is a novel that transcends the average book review.

About the Book

Article written by Emma Baldwin

B.A. in English, B.F.A. in Fine Art, and B.A. in Art Histories from East Carolina University.

It’s a harrowing account of one of the worst periods in human history, told from the perspective of a teenager ripped from his life, family, and aspirations. Elie Wiesel’s novel , which is based on his own experiences in the Sighet ghetto and the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchwald, is harrowing. 

Night tells the story of Eliezer , a teenage Jewish boy living in the small village of Sighet in Transylvania. When the novel begins, Wiesel depicts him as studious, dedicated to stying the Torah along with his mentor. Things change when that same mentor is captured by the SS and manages to return to the village, reporting the sight of men and women being executed at gunpoint by Nazi soldiers. The village does not believe him at first, but the reality of their situation comes home when the Jewish citizens of Sighet are moved into a ghetto, then onto a cattle car and transported to Auschwitz/Birkenau. It’s there that the novel truly begins. 

Just as I did, most readers approach Night knowing what the story is going to be about, and despite its brevity, around 100 pages, it is an intense journey, one that’s quite hard to forget. I first read Night when I was 15 years old, that same age as Wiesel was when he was deported from his home and saw his mother and sister for the last night. When reading the novel again, I immediately recalled how impactful that connection, across time and history, was. It’s impossible not to put oneself in Wiesel’s shoes as he experiences the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, watches his friends and family members murdered and experience the loss of his faith, health, and freedom. As Eliezer, Elie himself, and readers make their way through the novel. The overarching feeling is horror and awe at the way that seemingly educated and disciplined men could act. 

Historical Importance of Night

In addition to being an unforgettable personal memoir, Night is also of great historical importance . Today, it is the most commonly read personal read account of the Holocaust and features of syllabi worldwide. This is due in part to Wiesel’s mastery of language (even translated from the original Yiddish and French). He does not shy away from addressing what he saw in the camps. His language is almost always direct, leaving little room for interpretation on the part of the reader. For example, although he might not explicitly state that men were being shot on the death march towards the end of the novel, his description of gunfire and men falling to the ground paints a very clear picture. 

At the time that Night was published, the most popular memoir of the Holocaust was the incredibly important work, The Diary of Anne Frank. When speaking about Night, Wiesel drew a contrast between the two important works. Anne Frank’s diary, he said, ends where Night begins. It was, publishers thought, more suited for public consumption than Night. It is filled with the truth of the concentration camps and a young man’s suffering. After Night was published and fully came into the public’s eye, it sold millions of copies and made its way into classrooms and homes.

Faith and History in Night

Throughout the novel, Wiesel’s character of Eliezer battles with his faith, the feeling that God has abandoned him and his people throughout the pages of Night. This spiritual upheaval occurs at the same time that he’s forced into slave labor and feels himself starving to death. These personal experiences are moving, but they also allude to the broader nature of theHolocaust and the experiences that millions of Jews and other marginalized groups endured. Eliezer’s story is just one story out of tens of millions. 

His story also makes historical places, events, and people real. Today, the Holocaust is almost 80 years in the past, making it incredibly distant, especially for young people learning about it in history books. Night, on the other hand, takes places like Auschwitz and makes them real, in all their terror and destruction. It is this connection between the present and the past that Wiesel sought to maintain. He knew that the worst thing that could happen now, after the Holocaust was over, the axis powers defeated, and the camps liberated, was that the Holocaust and all those who were lost would be forgotten. He made it one of the central goals of his life to ensure that this fear never becomes a reality and Night, along with his 56 other novels, is one of the most powerful and successful steps he took. 

Conclusion of Night

When starting Night, it’s easy to project onto the novel the ending one thinks is going to occur. The camps will be liberated, Eliezer will be returned to his remaining family members, overwhelmed with a new sense of freedom and relief. But, that’s not exactly what happens. Wiesel sought to depict the lasting influence of the Holocaust on his character of Eliezer, who is a clear extension of himself. Eliezer stands in front of a mirror, seeing himself for the first time since he and his family members were sent to the ghetto and only recognized himself as a corpse. This period of his life is not one that he, or anyone else who went through what he did, is able to shake off in favour of a new one. It became a part of him, one that he carried till his death in 2016. 

In conclusion, it makes sense to go back to the beginning of the novel and to Wiesel’s forward. He explains why he felt compelled to write Night, saying it’s his “duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living.” The novel preserves the lives of the dead will reminding the living of the losses the world suffered and could suffer again if the past is forgotten.

Educational Value

Night is one of the few books that recounts the experiences of teens during the Holocaust. Wiesel's memoir offers a detailed and harrowing account of day to day life in Auschwitz and Buchenwald -- the starvation rations prisoners were fed, the freezing barracks in which they slept, the days spent as slave laborers, and the constant brutality of the guards and even fellow prisoners.

Positive Messages

Strong message about the power of memory and human resilience. Because of books like Night, the story of the Holocaust will never be forgotten.

Positive Role Models

Wiesel and his father cared for and supported each other through the most unimaginable circumstances.

Violence & Scariness

The violence is terrifying, random, and sadistic. Wiesel witnesses guards throwing children into a fire and a young boy being hung. People are shot and beaten to death for no reason. A son kills his father for a piece of bread. Wiesel is lashed 25 times by a guard. The fires burn day and night at the ovens.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that the late Elie Wiesel's Night is one of the most widely read and accaimed Holocaust memoirs. Wiesel was 15 when he, his three sisters, and his parents were sent to Auschwitz. In spare prose, Wiesel recounts the unimaginable horrors of life in Auschwitz and Buchenwald and the loss of his deeply held religious faith. "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed.” While Night is assigned reading in middle and high schools around the world, parents should be aware that the violence and brutality in the book are shocking and often unceasing. For speaking out against injustice, violence, and repression, Wiesel was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.

Where to Read

Based on 9 parent reviews

Parents should read this with their children: violence, sexual references, and heavy topics

Not for kids. more disturbing, detailed, graphically violent that other holocaust stories. sexual abuse of minors, nudity, sexual references. you will likely lose innocence and sleep., what's the story.

As NIGHT begins, Wiesel is living with his family in Sighet, a town which was then part of Hungary. Deeply religious, he spends his mornings studying the Talmud and his evenings in the local synagogue. For most of Sighet, the war seems far away and there is confidence that the Russian Army will arrive before the town falls to the Nazis. But in the spring of 1944, the Germans arrive and the entire Jewish population is soon loaded onto the cattle cars that will transport them to Nazi death camps. After they arrive at Auschwitz, Wiesel and his father are separated from his mother and sisters but manage to remain together during the nightmare months that follow. As the Russians approach Auschwitz, the prisoners are forced on a deadly march through winter snows before being taken by train to Buchenwald. It is there that Wiesel's father dies, in circumstances that will forever haunt him.

Is It Any Good?

Harrowing, heartbreaking, and brutal, this unforgettable memoir of a teenage survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald is essential reading for anyone studying the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel tells his story in a voice that is quiet and spare. Only the most essential words are needed to describe the horrors he witnessed. Wiesel has stated that Night begins where Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl ends. For teens whose knowledge of the Holocaust goes no further than the young Dutch girl who wrote, "In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart," Night may be hard to process emotionally. For all readers, it could help begin difficult discussions about the nature of good and evil in the world.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Night by Ellie Wiesel Essay (Book Review)

Introduction, review/analysis, works cited.

During the Second World War, a number of scholars and writers came up with various writings to express their opinions, views, and standpoints. The Night, by Ellie Wiesel, is one such book that expresses the views of the writer.

Life was unbearable during the Second World War, particularly in Germany whereby concentration camps existed. Wiesel describes the state of affairs in the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald.

Many people lost their lives, including property. Families broke up because family members had to be taken to different places. Others were unable to escape and found themselves in death camps whereby they could provide cheap labor without payment.

This piece of writing revisits the works of Wiesel in the book titled Night. The paper summarizes the reasoning of the writer and goes a notch higher to analyze some of the themes in order to establish the relevance of the book to the modern political environment. In other words, the paper looks at the strengths and weaknesses of the book.

The writer explains that life in the concentration camps was unbearable. He wonders where God was when such injustices were mated out to the Jews.

He concluded that God might have died because he could have intervened could he be alive. To the writer, life had taken a new twist meaning that the relationship between family members had changed.

The writer complained that his father had burdened him since he had to take care of him in everything. This was a great challenge to the writer given that he was only sixteen years.

In the concentration camps, family relations had no meaning. This is captured in a statement where the writer complained that if he could only eliminate his father since the old man was a form of a burden to him.

However, he regretted using such string words on his father. In the book, the writer shows that life had taken a new twist meaning that moral values were no more. In the concentration camps, there were no fathers, no brothers, and no friends.

In 1945, the writer reveals that the US liberated Buchenwald, even though it was late for his father who had already perished in the hands of Nazi.

In the introduction, the writer gives a brief description of his life (Wiesel 35) He reports that he was born in a place referred to as Sighet, which is a town situated in a hill in Hungary.

Before invasion, laws had been passed aimed at suppressing the Jews. Things got worse when Adolf and his men invaded Hungary.

Wiesel was separated from his family as his mother was taken to the gas chamber in Auschwitz and his father and he were taken to Buchenwald. The mother could not survive the conditions of Auschwitz and passed on immediately while his father died some few days before liberation.

Moshe the Beadle

The narrator tells us the importance of religion in society in this section. He claims that he cried uncontrollably when he noticed that the Temple had been vandalized. Moshe the Beadle was a man in charge of marinating the Synagogue.

In other words, he was a caretaker who ensured that everything went well during prayers. The caretaker is presented as a humble man who never quarreled with any one in society. In 1942, the man of God was whisked to Poland but he managed to come back in order to pass the information to villagers.

However, the villagers never minded listening to him. The story of Moshe the Beadle shows that a political enemy always targets the soft sport, which is normally the religious leader.

The villagers could not listen to Moshe simply because he was not influential. In the section, the government of Hungary proved that it was part of the Nazi project since it ordered all non-citizen Jews to leave.

This is one of the strengths of the book since the Holocaust could not have materialized without the help of other Eastern European governments.

The Sighet Ghettos

Jews were restricted from participating in important societal activities and enjoying their lives to the fullest. In this regard, Jews were not supposed to own property or to practice their religion.

Wherever they moved, Jews were required to wear the Yellow Star, as a form of identification. The Hungarian administration came up with a decision to transfer Jews to one of the Ghettos for easier supervision.

The Jews were only restricted to two Ghettos and the rest of their residences were closed. This shows how the Nazi regime was ambitious to control the influence of Jews in other neighboring countries.

The Jews could not influence political leaders to come up with fairer laws since their movements were easily monitored in the Ghettos. The writer reports that the Ghettos were self-contained meaning that all social services were provided.

No Jew could move out in search of a social amenity. In fact, they were allowed to appoint their councils, referred to as the Jewish Council, which could arbitrate on any issue in the ghettos This was meant to facilitate compliance since the Nazi government could easily approach the council leaders and inform them about the new developments.

After sometime, the Ghettos were closed and the Jews were transferred to the concentration camps in Poland and Germany. The writer reports that the Hungarian police had no mercy since each person was mistreated irrespective of his or her societal standing.

The writer reports that he was moved to one of the concentration camps referred to as Auschwitz, together with other eighty members of his community, including Madame Schachter.

Schachter prophesized that the bodies of people were burning but the rest of the Jews could not believe her, just the way Moshe the Beadle had been ignored. People were put in different sections based on gender, age, and health.

Unfortunately, the narrator’s mother was send straight to the gas chamber owing to her old age and deteriorating health. The Auschwitz shows that political opponents will never have mercy because they will ensure that only relevant individuals are allowed to live.

The weak are eliminated immediately to avoid any costs. Children were eliminated right away since the writer reports that the lorry delivered children into a burning fire while he was watching with the father.

The political class and the politicians will never care about morality as long as their interests are well catered for by the existing policy. In the book, the main aim of the political class in Eastern Europe was to acquire wealth.

The political class never cared about the value of human life. They would allow the soldiers to strangle innocent children only to frustrate parents.

Buchenwald and Liberation

In the last section of the book, which talks about the Buchenwald camp and subsequent liberation, the writer does not explain the factors behind liberation. He simply goes ahead to describe how liberation came about but does explain the immediate and long term factors that were responsible for liberation.

In Germany, there had been some sort of resistance since some leaders wanted the government to close the concentration camps. In Europe, other world powers such as Britain and Russia had gained momentum and wanted to liberate their citizens who had been kidnapped by the Nazi regime as prisoners of war.

The writer does not explain all these factors. Furthermore, he does not give a brief explanation of how the US joined the war. There had been some developments in the international system, which could not allow Germany to continue oppressing the Jews.

In the beginning of the story, the writer explained that the old and those perceived to be unhealthy were eliminated immediately. However, he explains towards the end of the story that his father was ailing from dysentery.

The question is how comes the father was allowed to live yet it was against the policy of the Nazi government. This leaves us with some questions to answer.

The chapters of the book by Wiesel are arranged in a manner that would help the reader to comprehend the real meaning of Holocaust and how the Nazi unleashed terror on the Jews.

The book has some strengths including explaining how the Eastern European states contributed in implementing the Nazi policies. The Hungarian government declared that all immigrants would be deported in case they could not provide sufficient documents.

This proves that the government of Hungary knew what was just about to happen to the Jews. One weakness of the book is that it does not give authentic information.

At one moment, we are told that the old and the sick were never allowed to see the day while at other times the writer tells us that the sick could be left to suffer.

Night Book Review

Being one of a few people in the western world who knows an ancient language can be quite dangerous, it turns out.

Loralyn finds that out the hard way in Night Book , the latest FMV game to come from Wales Interactive and Good Gate Media. This horror/thriller is only around an hour long, but with 15 endings to uncover, it’s one you’ll likely want to jump into multiple times. After all, Loralyn’s life literally depends on it.

The entire game is played from the perspective of Lorayln’s computer screen, though a series of home security cameras gives players a view of different rooms in her house. Loralyn’s currently working a night shift as an online interpreter – she acts as an intermediary between French and English speakers, translating their conversations via webcam. She has a unique selling point as an interpreter though; she knows the ancient and mysterious language of Kannar – which turns out to be quite the sought-after skill.

Two jobs are available to Loralyn on this particular evening; one translating the negotiation of a sale, and one helping someone have a conversation with his estranged mum. Whichever one you choose, you’ll end up in the presence of a mysterious book. Written in Kannar, this book holds a great power, and ultimately a section of it will end up being read out loud, unleashing something rather deadly in Loralyn’s home.

Interestingly, Lorayln already has several ties to the Kannar language and the remote island of Le Pouce, where the language originates. Her partner Pearce is currently on the island, managing the development of a large tourist hotel. And her father, who currently lives with her, has previously been to the island too – and he claims first-hand the power that the Kannar language holds. He’s been unwell, though, so Loralyn puts his ramblings down to his illness. Perhaps she should have paid more attention to him, then the terrifying events of Night Book  might not have unfolded.

Exactly  what  happens is up to you to find out. The story unfolds very quickly, wasting no time in getting straight into the action. You’ll make decisions on Loralyn’s actions at key points – the choices you make will directly influence how the game plays out. With 15 endings, there are multiple branching paths and around 250 scenes in total, although any one playthrough will only reveal around 50 or so of them. The endings range in grimness, with some being particular grizzly – though happier endings are available if you make the right choices.

The production values of  Night Book  are surprisingly high, considering that this was created entirely during lockdown. Every scene was filmed remotely during lockdown, with each actor responsible for their own environments, lighting, make-up and continuity. That’s a lot of responsibility for an actor, but each of them pulled it off marvellously; every scene comes together and feels like one cohesive project – it never feels obvious that it was made in lockdown conditions. Huge props to the editors in that regard.

It does help, too, that every actor plays their role with gusto. FMV games are often known to have a level of hamminess, but that’s never present here. Julie Dray, who plays Loralyn, especially does a fantastic job. Her role is tense and emotional, and every feeling of fear and dread is portrayed with gusto.  Night Book  never feels truly scary despite sitting somewhere in the horror genre, but the actors do a great job of building tension and creating an excellent thriller environment.

While a running time of around an hour feels short, it actually works in  Night Book ‘s favour. To get the most out of the game, you’ll want to play more than once – and it’s short enough that it never feels like a chore to jump back it. It helps, too, that once you’ve played you can skip through scenes you’ve already seen, making it even quicker to get to another possible twist and turn. Perhaps my only complaint is that the short running time doesn’t give much chance for players to care for the characters or fully understand their back story. After a few playthroughs, you’ll likely unlock some additional scenes and documents that provide additional information, but you’re unlikely to truly care for or understand Loralyn or her family the first time around.

If you’ve enjoyed Wales Interactive’s FMVs in the past, then I’m fairly confident in saying you’ll find a lot to like in  Night Book . Despite being created in challenging conditions, it comes together with top-notch production values, excellent acting and great storytelling. It may never be truly edge-of-your-seat stuff, but it’s gripping enough that you’ll likely want to hunt down multiple endings.

‘Night Book’ review: interactive found footage horror falls on its FaceTime

More FML than FMV

W hen found footage horror is done right, the effect on your psyche is searing. The boundaries between fiction and reality blur, spectral hands suddenly tearing down the safety net you’ve built in your brain, making you question everything you’ve ever known. When found footage horror is done wrong, it’s Night Book .

• READ MORE: ‘NEO: The World Ends With You’ review: A superb sequel that oozes cool

Night Book is an FMV, or Full Motion Video, experience, meaning it stars real actors in real sets, as part of an ‘interactive occult thriller’. We join poor, pregnant Loralyn as she attempts to do an online interpreter shift from home while her occasionally possessed father bangs his head against a wall in a room of scary drawings, and her fiance waves red flags from another country as he plans to steamroller a protected mystical forest and turn it into a hotel. Insert your relatable Covid lockdown meme here. The interactive element comes from a series of binary choices that appear throughout its 55 minute run time. If that sounds painfully short, it is, but that’s the least of Night Book’s worries.

The biggest shortcoming here is the term ‘interactive.’ Night Book’s binary choice-based narrative isn’t new but is particularly galling in this setting. All of Night Book takes place on a laptop as Loralyn loads up the BlackSky OS to log into her work account. It’s here where we find out that her boyfriend has added her webcam to the couples’ multi-camera security system so we can constantly watch her reactions to the creepy goings on in the name of ‘keeping her safe’. See? Red flags to match his red tie and Newton’s cradle.

This PC setting immediately draws parallels to Sam Barlow’s ludicrously compelling FMV game Her Story, where we use a programme’s search function to spool through hours of live video to uncover the truth in a series of police interviews. The almost voyeuristic thrill of piecing together our own story via a fictional operating system made Her Story unforgettable. Instead Night Book gives us an enticing laptop screen of files, programmes, and even alluring notifications and then hands the mouse to someone else. Here we sit powerless and occasionally get to make the choice to take a call or read an email but it feels like sitting out in the cold, watching a sub-par scary movie. Just an FYI, screaming ‘give me control’ doesn’t work but I did try it.

A multi-camera horror set up can be a goldmine for scares. 2020’s Zoom-set lockdown horror movie Host perfectly encapsulates the terror awaiting in modern communication technology, while, in games, Five Nights At Freddy’s and, more recently, Phasmophobia have turned flicking between security cameras into a nail-shredding art. Yet in Night Book, Loralyn gazing through the various rooms of her house is lacklustre and devoid of any tension. We even see FaceTime calls with her father (who you may or may not have locked in his room) but the use of tech is cold and clinical instead of relatable.

Some good performances can’t distract from the most used tricks in the horror book as artificial static floods the screen and, once again, all the kitchen drawers and cupboards open at once. The scares are constantly rote and forgettable. Where the movie Paranormal Activity has you desperately scanning a quiet night vision lit room for any sign of movement, knowing full well that it will give you a heart attack when a door slams, Night Book opts for some, err, gently growing pot plants and a vine appearing draped around a canvas like last year’s tinsel. Even when things get more serious, the night daytime TV HD-osity makes it exceptionally difficult to connect with.

And perhaps all of this wouldn’t feel quite so dull if our choices were actually entertaining. While there’s a surprising number of permutations and 15 endings to discover, the timed options themselves often feel strange and alien. During a test of Loralyn’s language skills we’re asked to ‘interpret’ or ‘translate’ which, to a layman not trained in the mystical fictitious language of Kannar, sound a lot like entirely the same thing. Another memorable lowlight is ‘leave the flat’ or ‘think of something else,’ once again handing the reins to Loralyn and shutting us out of the equation.

The choices themselves at least do make a difference. You can see a ‘butterfly effect’ animation appear in the top corner of the screen when you’ve done something that will really affect the narrative. These can be choices between life and death and one in particular changes a large conceit of the game and introduces different characters. The only problem is that you won’t even want to go through it again to find out who they are.

At the start of the game you’re introduced to a personality tracker in the menu to check your relationships on a bar but this feels entirely redundant and pointless. The same can be said for the documents you read. While one letter actually looks like a letter, another ‘Conspiracy theory page’ that apparently arrives by email is a pathetic attempt at ingame lore that makes this world as transparent as Loralyn’s fiance’s intentions.

Relying on scare tropes that modern horror movies have subverted themselves at least eight times since, Night Book is exceptionally disappointing. The choice of a non-interactive PC as a setting makes every binary decision feel frustrating, and while there’s a surprising number of endings to discover, you’ll have absolutely no desire to see them once the credits roll.

Night Book is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and iOS devices . This review is of the PC version.

The Verdict

Only loosely interactive and definitely not thrilling, Night Book is a subpar addition to the FMV stable. Found footage tropes are rinsed shamelessly and the lack of any meaningful engagement means the only true horror is the lost potential.

• Some good performances
• Surprising number of narrative permutations
• Lack of true interaction is frustrating
• Binary choices are badly handled
• Full of tired horror tropes
• Painfully short

Kahoot! stands with Ukraine

Kahoot! is committed to supporting Ukrainian educators and learners affected by the current crisis. To protect the integrity of our platform and our users, we will suspend offering Kahoot!’s services in Russia, with the exception of self-study.

Ukrainian educators and learners need our support

We are deeply troubled and concerned by the violence and loss of life resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We stand with the people of Ukraine and we hope for the swiftest and most peaceful possible end to the current crisis. 

Kahoot! has received a number of requests from schools and educators in Ukraine requesting the help of our services to continue teaching despite the disruption of the war. We have supported each of these and we are now offering Kahoot! EDU solutions for free for both K-12 and higher education institutions for one year to Ukrainian schools in need. In addition, we are fast-tracking translation and localization of the Kahoot! platform into Ukrainian. 

Suspending commercial services and sales in Russia

Our commercial footprint in the Russian market is very limited. We do not have offices or representation in the country, nor do we have any physical operations or data services there. The overwhelming majority of our users in Russia are teachers and students using our free service.

Kahoot! is abiding by the international sanctions regime, and does not allow sales to sanctioned individuals or entities in Russia. Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kahoot! initiated a process to suspend offering of all commercial services in Russia. This includes but is not limited to online sales, assisted sales, app store sales and prohibiting sales to Russian corporations and organizations.

Prioritizing safe and secure use of the Kahoot! platform

As part of our mission to make learning awesome, and as education remains a fundamental human right, we offer teachers, students and personal users free access to our platform. We do this in more than 200 countries and regions in a spirit similar to public commons services, such as Wikipedia. 

Similarly, inclusivity is one of Kahoot!’s overarching values. As such, our aim is to, whenever and wherever possible, offer children, schools and others the opportunity to use digital tools for impactful education and learning, irrespective of their background or location. This has been our guiding principle also for offering our service in Russia.

Among our first responses to the crisis was to swiftly expand our global moderation team’s monitoring on all Russia-related content to safeguard the integrity of the platform. 

However, as the situation continues to escalate, it is vital that we are able to ensure that our platform is used according to our own guidelines and standards. Therefore, in addition to suspending sales, we will be taking all possible and necessary steps to suspend access to Kahoot! services in Russia, with the eventual exception of self-study mode which will feature only content verified by Kahoot!.

This will enable students, school children and other individual users to continue their learning journeys both safely and responsibly. We will continue to assess ways in which our services can be offered safely and responsibly to support all learners and educators, also those based in Russia. 

Supporting our employees 

At Kahoot!, we are not just a team in name, we are a team in practice. As such, we are committed to the well-being of our employees, especially those with ties to Ukraine, or those that in other ways are particularly affected by the war. We are providing these colleagues with any support we can. 

Acknowledging the current situation, the Kahoot! Group made an emergency aid donation to Save the Children and the Norwegian Refugee Council. This is a contribution to support life-saving assistance and protection for innocent Ukrainian children, families and refugees. 

As the situation in Ukraine continues to develop our teams across the company are actively monitoring the crisis so that we can respond in the most responsible and supportive way possible. 

Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine, their loved ones, and anyone affected by this crisis.

Critic Reviews for Night Book

Thesixthaxis.

Night Book is a good example of the kind of modern FMV game that Wales Interactive produce. It brings together an interesting story with some strong performances and a topical site of anxiety. At a run time of about 45 minutes for each playthrough this is perfect for a quick play with a glass of wine but may not feel like the best value. There's plenty of replayability though if you want to unlock all the endings, but many of them involve only slight variations of events you'll have seen before. Night Book is very much an FMV interactive experience rather than a game but it is undoubtedly a solid example of its kind. Just don't go into it expecting much in the way of gameplay.

Read full review

Night Book is lost in the magnum sea of similar productions and you have plenty of titles to play before jumping on the unfortunate protagonist and her cursed book.

Review in Italian | Read full review

PC Invasion

As much as I wanted Night Book to be good, not even FMV can salvage this otherwise lackluster experience. Despite solid acting performances from the entire cast, it isn't enough to elevate this paint-by-numbers slog to the next level. It's probably best to leave this tome on the shelf where it belongs.

PlayStation Universe

The FMV acting is great, as are the production values but ultimately the story just doesn't hold up. There's simply too much repetition required to uncover everything Night Book has to offer.

Push Square

The story is slight, and possessed Dad – Jim Carver from The Bill for the 30-somethings among you – is more amusing than scary. The constraints of filming during a pandemic are clear – no two people are ever in the same room at the same time – and in terms of production values it's more school play than Hollywood. But Julie Dray is a sympathetic lead and the run time is barely an hour and change so it never has an opportunity to outstay its welcome.

Generación Xbox

‎Night Book is a good interactive movie. As a horror film, I may be afraid enough or predictable, but the story works from start to finish. He knows how to hook you from the first moment. In addition, in its playable part, although it is very simple and nothing out of the world, it is effective. It does not bother, it is well integrated and the reaction times are so fair that many times we will act more by inertia than by reasonocinio.‎

Review in Spanish | Read full review

Ironically, Night Book makes a better argument for replaying than ever starting it.

‎Night Book is a good choice for fans of interactive movies, is well played and is very playable. However, it is not scary and its story is very predictable.‎

Late Night Skewers Trump’s Review of Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscar Hosting

“Ranta Claus got up bright and early to post 165 venomous words about yours truly,” Kimmel said on Donald Trump’s day off from his criminal trial on Wednesday.

By Trish Bendix

Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night’s highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now .

Donald Trump had the day off from his criminal trial on Wednesday. He spent part of it criticizing Jimmy Kimmel’s hosting of the Oscars several weeks ago, though he apparently conflated him with Al Pacino, who announced a major award there.

Trump wrote, in part: “Stupid Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards, especially when he showed he suffered from TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, to the entire World by reading on air my TRUTH about how bad a job he was doing that night, right before he stumbled through announcing the biggest award of all, ‘Picture of the Year.’”

“This was five weeks ago,” Kimmel said of the Oscars. “My parents don’t even care anymore!”

“Today, he had a day off, and how did he spend that? Brunch with Melania? No. Maybe a catch with Barron in the yard? No, no. Ranta Claus got up bright and early to post 165 venomous words about yours truly!” — JIMMY KIMMEL “That’s right — in the middle of a presidential campaign and countless federal indictments, he’s obsessed with the Academy Awards from five weeks ago. I look forward to his new campaign slogan: ‘Trump 2024: They Gave It to ‘Green Book’?” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“I did not present the award for Best Picture. I am not Al Pacino. Maybe you dreamed this during one of your courtroom siestas?” — JIMMY KIMMEL “He’s Al Pacino, I’m me. You’d think he would know that because I’m pretty sure ‘Say hello to my little friend’ is what he said to Stormy Daniels that got him in all this trouble.” — JIMMY KIMMEL “Also, you keep my friend Jimmy Kimmel’s name out of your weird little wet mouth, OK? Jimmy Kimmel is my podcast brother from Strike Force 5, and I have vowed — I have vowed to defend him until my death — or until the next ad for Mint Mobile.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

The Punchiest Punchlines (Fascinating and Mysterious Edition)

“Yesterday was a surprisingly productive court session because they picked seven jurors. I was not one of them. And while their identities will be kept secret, we’ve learned a little about who it is, like Juror No. 4, who said of the ex-president, ‘I find him fascinating and mysterious. [imitating juror] Like when he says he wants to shoot protesters and jail his opponents, what does he mean? I can fix him.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“‘Fascinating and mysterious’? He’s not a Chanel fragrance.” — DULCÉ SLOAN, guest host of “The Daily Show” “And this dude is the least mysterious person in life. He tells us everything he’s thinking. I know the names of all the people he’s had sex with, I’ve heard the details of what his penis looks like. Like the only mysterious thing about him is what animal they made his wig out of.” — DULCÉ SLOAN “There’s also Juror No. 2, who seemed surprised to find herself in this situation, telling the court: ‘I didn’t even know I was walking into this.’ OK, but at some point, there must’ve been clues: ‘Uh, honey, for some reason, this Soul Cycle has a bailiff.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT

The Bits Worth Watching

Dulcé Sloan drank her way through a Black-owned winery tour for Wednesday’s “Daily Show.”

What We’re Excited About on Thursday Night

“The Sympathizer” star Sandra Oh will appear on Thursday’s “Late Show.”
