After around 75 connections kahoot seems to time out or return weird errors. This project was designed very quickly and only tested with smaller numbers of users (around 20-40), so it usually doesn't return the correct errors when it times out but it seems to have this time.

Kahoot itself was also poorly designed for this sort of scale and struggles connecting more than 50 users without lag and has a lot of trouble over 200 - it was designed for the classroom where the size is always reasonably small for it not to cause much of an issue.

It also depends on your internet bandwidth so I would try and see how many connections you can comfortably take. Start at about 30 users and increase in increments of 30 until you get issues then use a value around there.
