Blooket is an American educational website created by Ben and Tom Stewart where students and teachers can participate in live game modes containing quiz sets. There are a variety of game modes available of which students can join. Similar to Kahoot or Quizizz, students join a live game and participate by answering questions and playing a unique game. During the year, a variety of different game modes are available.

In game

Currency in the games include tokens and XP, which can be visible on the Dashboard and 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, or 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 extremely difficult to obtain.

The Class Pass is an update that allows players to collect XP after games. This XP is then added to the Class Pass which contains a hundred different levels for a hundred different avatar items. These items can be used for a customized Blook, which players create.

Thousands of different sets are accessible. Although the website is used for educational purposes, users can make sets that are not, as long as they are appropriate. Some sets have more than 3 million total plays in counting.

History

Ben Stewart created Blooket when he was a senior at Appoquinimink High School in 2018. He created it because of his opinion on "being bored of playing other classroom review games". Therefore, Ben Stewart created the present day Blooket, which is now updating daily and attracting millions of kids from around the world to engage in the "ultimate learning experience."

Several updates over almost half a decade have been added to Blooket. Seasonal events 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.

There are even rumors about trading becoming an update. This update has been confirmed, but the exact release date has not been official. There will be, however, updates to older game modes.

Controversy

There are several different Blooket hacks and glitches that can be used as an advantage in many ways. However, these "cheats" are not approved. User history is accessible in Blooket accounts. Users who use hacks can be banned for three days. Token hacks have been popular.

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. This has helped.
