description Implementation of games is common in pharmacy education, but limited information exists about the relationship between students' game performances and course grades. Our study was designed to determine if scores on a comprehensive web-based review game correlate to overall pharmacotherapeutics course and course series grades. Two cohorts of students in Pharmacotherapeutics IV, the last course in a four course series, were administered a web-based quiz review game (Kahoot!) at the end of the course. Student performance on the game was compared to grades throughout the Pharmacotherapeutics course sequence to determine if the games were reflective of the students' performances. All students enrolled in Pharmacotherapeutics IV in 2016 and 2017 were included in the analysis. Pearson correlation was performed on the scores from the review game compared to the grades in the pharmacotherapeutics course series. A total of 197 students, 111 in the 2016 cohort and 86 in the 2017 cohort, were included in the analysis. The correlation coefficient (r) for the review scores and Pharmacotherapeutics IV course grade was 0.399 and 0.461 for the 2 cohorts (p
