What is Blooket?
Blooket is a gamified classroom review platform that turns quiz questions into short, playful games. Teachers build or discover question sets and run live or homework sessions where students join with a code. Blooket’s variety of game modes — from quick recall to strategy-based play — keeps review lively for K–12 classrooms.
Teachers use Blooket for bellwork, exit tickets, formative checks, and homework because it’s fast to set up, easy for students to join, and rewarding to play.
How to Join & Login Blooket
Students ask this first: how do I join a Blooket? Here’s the short version.
Steps to join a live game in Blooket
- Open a browser and go to play.blooket.com.
- Click Join (or Play) and enter the teacher’s 6–7 digit Blooket code.
- Type a display name (follow your class rules — no full names or personal info).
- Click Join and wait in the lobby until the teacher starts the game.
- If the teacher assigned homework, use the Homework link or assignment code to play on your own schedule.
Quick troubleshooting in Blooket
- Wrong or expired code: Confirm the code with your teacher; codes only work while a session is active.
- Blocked by school network: Ask IT to whitelist blooket.com or use the school’s approved network.
- Login trouble: Accounts are optional for students in live play; if you need one, follow the sign-up flow and verify age restrictions.
- Browser hiccups: Clear the cache, try an alternate browser, or restart the device.
Tip: Students can scan a QR code (if provided) instead of typing a code — faster on phones.
How to Host a Blooket & Use the Dashboard
If you’re a teacher, the dashboard is where the magic happens. You pick or make question sets, choose a game mode, and host.
Teacher workflow — Host a live game (quick steps)
- Sign in to your teacher account at blooket.com.
- From My Sets, pick a set or click Create to add questions.
- Click the set and choose Host.
- Select a game mode that fits your lesson goal (speed, strategy, or solo homework).
- Share the join code / QR / link and start when students are ready.
- When the round ends, click View Report to see results and export if needed.
Best practices for hosting
- Preview a game mode before using it with your whole class.
- Keep sets short (10–20 questions) for quick checks.
- Use the Random Names or require login options if student identity is a concern.
- Rotate join codes each session — don’t reuse codes across classes.
Classroom checklist (copy this before class)
- Test the host screen and audio on your device.
- Have a backup (paper quiz or Kahoot) if the site is blocked.
- Project the lobby for students to confirm their display names.
- Remind students to use class-safe nicknames.
Warning: Don’t hand out host access. Let the teacher start and end sessions to prevent accidental restarts or code reuse.
Collecting Blooks & Earning Coins — Legit Ways in Blooket
Collecting blooks (the little avatar characters) and earning coins is a big motivator. Here are legit ways to grow a collection — and why “infinite coins” schemes are a bad idea.
Legit methods to earn coins and blooks
- Play regularly: Most game modes reward coins for correct answers and participation.
- Use Study or Homework features for repeat practice that earns rewards.
- Open seasonal packs or event packs when they’re available in the market.
- Save coins to buy packs that rotate through different blooks.
- Join official events and promos — limited-time packs often include rare blooks.
Practical classroom tips
- Run short weekly Blooket sprints (5–10 minutes) for steady coin gains.
- Offer non-monetary classroom rewards for milestones (first rare blook, 1,000 coins).
- Remind students: don’t use third‑party cheat tools. They risk account bans and privacy issues.
Tip: If a student asks about “how to get infinite coins,” explain that consistent play and approved events are the legitimate ways — cheats can cost accounts and trust.
Rarest Blooks in Blooket — Collector’s List
Rarity shifts over time with events and packs. Below are six blooks commonly discussed by collectors and community trackers — check the official Market or announcements to confirm current rarities.
- Rainbow Panda — Chroma from the Safari Pack. Extremely rare in community trackers; prized for its colors. (Alt text: Rainbow Panda blook with bright, multicolored fur.)

Note: Community wikis and player trackers list detailed drop rates — use them as a guide, but rely on official Blooket announcements for the single-source truth.
Blooket Hacks & Cheating — What Teachers Need to Know
Cheats and browser extensions that promise shortcuts to coins or automatic wins pop up whenever a game is competitive. Don’t share those with students.
Why cheating matters
- It undermines learning and corrupts assessment data.
- It can put student accounts at risk and violate terms of service.
- Many cheat tools request access to browser data or personal info — a privacy risk.
Practical prevention steps
- Host sessions yourself and control when the game starts and ends.
- Use the Allow Late Join setting thoughtfully and rotate join codes frequently.
- Screen-share and project the lobby so you can spot suspicious activity.
- Enforce school policies on academic honesty and digital citizenship.
- If you find evidence of hacks, follow your district’s discipline policy and report the issue to platform support.
Warning: Don’t provide or model any cheating tool. Explain consequences clearly — safety and learning come first.
