Comment: Not seeing notability here. Wikipedia is not for WP:SPAM. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:46, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

- Comment: I have been watching the development of this draft for quite some time. Throughout this period, it has been accruing more wp:FANCRUFT. Ideally, the overview section should be no more than two or three paragraphs long. An example of overdetailing is with the premium subscriptions. The article should probably simply say that they exist and a basic overview of benefits; pricing does not seem necessary. Emphasis should be put on how Blooket had emphasized the outside world. For example, discussing its partnership with Khan Academy. ✶Quxyz✶ 11:35, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Blooket (pronounced /ˈbluː.kɪt/, BLUE-kit)[1] is an American educational website created by Ben and Tom Stewart.[3][4] In Blooket, students and teachers can participate in live game modes containing quiz sets. There is a variety of game modes available of which students can join. Similar to Kahoot! or Quizizz (now Wayground[5]), students join a live game and participate by answering questions and playing one of several minigames.[1] During the year, a variety of different game modes are available, like Gold Quest or Fishing Frenzy.[6]
Overview
[edit]To play, players would use a device, such as a smartphone or a laptop, and may either scan a QR code or click “Join a Game” on Blooket’s homepage and enter the game ID. After entering the correct ID, players then choose their display name (unless the host has selected the Use Random Names option) and finally, choose their Blook and wait for the game to begin.[7]
Users can create sets either by importing questions or making them themselves. Once they have made the questions, users can configure various settings, such as how long players have to answer the question. The two question types are multiple choice and open-ended. Set creators can import questions from a spreadsheet, Quizlet, or a question bank (only available in Blooket Plus).[8]
Currency in Blooket includes tokens, the main spending currency, and XP (experience points), which is accumulated to level up and earn rewards from the Class Pass. Tokens are collected after every live or solo match completed. There is also a daily wheel which can be used to collect more tokens. Tokens can be used to purchase in-game avatars known as "Blooks". Blooks can be collected when a player purchases a Blook Pack with a certain amount of tokens. Rarer Blooks make packs more expensive. Some Blooks can be difficult to obtain, like Chromas or Mystics.[9]
Game modes
[edit]Blooket contains 18 game modes, two of which are only available seasonally, each having their own rules. Some of these modes are for teams, and some are made to play solo.[10] Some of the modes are purely luck based, such as Gold Quest and Fishing Frenzy, while others require a strategy, like Factory, Tower Defense, or Tower Defense 2.[7] Students can also play quiz sets by themselves and play solo-only game modes. These are Crazy Kingdom, Plushie Panic, Monster Brawl, Tower Defense, Tower Defense 2, Café, Factory, and the Study game mode. A comprehensive list of games is below.
| All gamemodes | Only Solo | Only Hosting | Deleted/Retired |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory | Plushie Panic | row 1 C | Snowball Fight |
| Monster Brawl | Pirate Pool | row 2 C | Tower of Doom |
| Cafe | Crazy Kingdom | row 3 C | Imposters |
| Tower Defense | Study | row 1 C | Pirate’s Voyage (Plus-Only) |
| Tower Defense 2 | Zorblitz | row 2 | |
| row 3 A | row 3 B | row 3 C |
Hacking and cheating
[edit]There are several different Blooket hacks and glitches that can be used as advantages in many ways. However, these “cheats” are frowned upon by Blooket, as stated in its Terms of Service.[11] Users who attempt to use hacks can get their accounts banned for a certain amount of time. To solve these problems, Ben removed the token multiplier that was created as another update. Instead, everyone is given triple the amount after every round. The Daily Wheel was also added to give players another chance to collect tokens.
Plus Membership
[edit]Blooket has memberships that one can subscribe to for $4.99 per month or $9.99 per month.[12] One can also buy bundles: Friends (10 Plus Plans – $550 per year), Department (20 Plus Plans – $1000 per year), Small School (40 Plus Plans – $1600 per year), and School (80 Plus Plans – $3000 per year).[13] This membership gives access to the game modes Pirate’s Voyage and Laser Tag, lets the member use the question bank, gives more enhanced game reports, lets the user make questions with audio, allows copying and duplicating question sets, and increases the max player limit to 300 players.
History
[edit]Ben Stewart created Blooket when he was a senior at Appoquinimink High School in 2018. He created it because of his opinion of “being bored of playing other classroom review games”.[9] This opinion of his lead Ben Stewart created the present-day Blooket.
Updates
[edit]Several updates over almost half a decade have been added to Blooket. Seasonal events for holidays like Christmas and Halloween have been released. These events contains special items, Blooks, game modes, and competitions, such as the Contest of Candy which happens every Halloween season, a “Candy Quest” game mode, in which players try to steal candy from each other, the “Blizzard Pack”, a set of Blooks exclusive to Christmas, Halloween, and more. Events and giveaways have been hosted live, with the winner earning an exclusive Blook, including Hamsta Claus, Rainbow Astronaut, Tim The Alien, Phantom King, Agent Owl, and more. Events that were hosted are Potions of Pix‘ahlia (PoP), Blooket March Event (LUNCH), and the Contest of Candy.[1]
Khan Academy
[edit]Blooket has a partnership with Khan Academy, which resulted in Sal Khan creating some educational question sets. Wise Caterpillar, a Unique-rarity Blook,[14] can only be obtained via any of Khan’s question sets. It can be sold for 300 Tokens.[15]
Reception
[edit]Blooket is one of the many platforms that uses gamification to teach and enforce topics. Some say that the competition and gamification of the game motivate students to work and relieve boredom. Other people state that the "sabotage" features of the game encourage trash-talking and discouragement. They also voice that the game allows students to memorize terms without actually understanding what they mean.[16]
Some teachers also say that the game mode that causes the least negative behavior is Classic Mode, which allows the instructor to set the pace, and that other modes (like Crypto Hack or Gold Quest) get chaotic and ultimately cause arguments.[16]
Notes
