Mixed-method research was employed in collecting data on students during the teaching-learning process for one semester. Quantitative data were obtained and analyzed from students' tests or formative evaluations and through questionnaires. Meanwhile, the qualitative data were obtained from personal in-depth interviews with several students from the experimental class. The results of this study indicate that the employment of the Kahoot and Quizizz game platforms has a positive impact on student achievement and motivation. This can be recognized from the results of the formative assessment data analysis and the responses from the questionnaire.
