- Use "Verified" Modes: Use modes like "Trust No One" or Team modes where coordination is required, which confuses simple bots.
- Enable 2D Mode: Gimkit's 2D game modes (like Gimkit Creative or Capture the Flag) have different architecture that makes it harder for standard web-based bots to function correctly.
- Keep Codes Private: Do not post game codes on public boards or social media. Only share the code verbally or on a secure, private LMS (like Google Classroom or Canvas).
- The "Kick" Feature: Familiarize yourself with the kick feature in the lobby. You can remove bots before the game starts, though this is difficult if the flood is massive.
