What is an enrollment ceremony?
An enrollment ceremony is KaBoon's optional welcome flow for new joiners. When someone joins a season, a short themed ceremony places them into one of your factions, turning team assignment into a moment worth remembering.

Three ways to sort new joiners
You choose how the ceremony assigns people. The experience looks the same; only the placement logic changes.
Answer-based
New joiners answer a short themed questionnaire, and their answers determine which faction they land in, like a sorting quiz.
Random-balanced
On submit, the joiner is placed into the faction with the fewest members, so teams stay even as people join through the season.
Preset
You assign the faction ahead of time in the roster. The ceremony still runs as a welcome moment, but placement is already decided.
Why teams use it
It turns onboarding into a moment
Instead of quietly adding someone to a list, the ceremony gives new joiners a memorable welcome and an instant sense of belonging to a team.
It keeps teams balanced automatically
With random-balanced sorting, factions stay even without an admin manually shuffling people as the roster grows.
It's optional and flexible
Turn it off entirely and assign people yourself, or keep it on and choose exactly how sorting works. You're always in control.
Where it fits in setup
The enrollment ceremony is the Enrollment step of season setup. Leave it on to welcome and sort new joiners automatically, or turn it off to assign factions yourself on the Members step. See the full walkthrough in How to set up a new season.
