Blooket - Download the latest Blooket here

Blooket is web-based so it can be accessed from almost any device, making it ideal for students in the classroom or at home. The teacher can lead the quiz or can let his students access it when they need it. A selection of game modes is available, with games with different interfaces to play between quizzes of the lesson.

Everything is point-based with rewards and individual progression statistics, making Blooket look like high-end games students might already be playing on their smartphones. These games can be played alone or in groups, so teachers can choose a group and have the children compete against others in the class.

How does Blooket work?

Signing up for Blooket is extremely simple, allowing teachers to immediately have a free account with just an email address. Games can be created instantly from pre-made questions or using fully customized versions. Either way, teachers can assign game codes to students so that students can participate as easily as they want.

Blooket has a fairly standard puzzle style section that provides a question with large colored blocks for multiple answer choices. This makes clicking to select and transition very easy for students of all levels. Once answers have been given and points are recorded, they can be used in the game before returning to the next series of questions.

In Cafe mode, students answer questions to earn food to serve customers in the game. Or in Tower of Doom, students choose characters to fight against others, answering questions to help win. Then there's the classic Tower Defense, which most students have probably played in some form.

What are the best Blooket features?

Blooket is super easy to use for both students and teachers. As such, this tool can be used for a wide range of ages and abilities. There is a nice random feature that allows teachers to easily assign students into groups.

Honestly, everything is 'addictive', so students are more likely to return to playing these games even when not in class. The fact is that teachers can easily create the ideal set of questions because when students decide to play, learning materials can already be pre-ordered to help them progress over their own time.

The ability to earn points and coins to spend in the game is a great addition as it helps bring students back and keeps them engaged to progress. It's worth noting that students may be prompted to provide an email to start an account - so for those under 13 where this isn't legal, be aware.
