Kahoot! Drops language learning app

Drops is a visually-oriented language learning platform designed to make acquiring new vocabulary engaging through short, game-like sessions. The service was founded in 2015 by Daniel Farkas and Mark Szulyovszky, focusing on a mobile-first experience that uses mnemonic illustrations to help users memorize words across dozens of different languages.

In 2020, the brand was acquired by the Norwegian educational technology giant Kahoot!. Following this acquisition, Drops became a key component of the Kahoot! ecosystem, expanding its reach into schools and corporate learning environments. The brand represents a significant shift in digital pedagogy, prioritizing visual association over traditional translation methods.

While the company was founded in Estonia and developed by a distributed team, it is now globally managed from Norway. The software is maintained via cloud infrastructure distributed across multiple international data centers, reflecting the global nature of modern digital products. As part of Kahoot!, the brand continues to operate as a leading tool in the global ed-tech market.
