Blooket

What Blooket is

Blooket is a web-based game-based learning tool for trivia and review. A teacher or another player hosts while students play on their own devices. Users can choose question sets from Blooket’s library or make their own, then run a live game or assign a set as asynchronous homework. For homework, teachers can set a due date and goal and choose the game modes. Students can enter a live game with a Game ID, QR code, or link without logging in. After a game, Blooket provides reports to help identify knowledge gaps. Its gameplay is designed for students from early elementary through high school and beyond, and it can be played in most web browsers. The free plan includes unlimited question sets and hosted games for up to 60 people. Blooket Plus supports up to 300 people, except in Racing and team modes; the paid subscription price is not displayed. Blooket lists varied question types and anonymous responses. Hosting a live game requires an internet-connected computer, and every player needs an internet-connected device. Blooket says it encrypts personal information in storage and in transit, and does not sell or rent student personal information or use it for third-party advertising.
