Blooket - online educational platform

Blooket is an online educational platform that combines learning with gaming, primarily used by teachers and students in classrooms. It was founded in 2018 by Tom and Ben Stewart and is designed to make education more engaging by turning quizzes and reviews into interactive games. Blooket allows teachers to create question sets or choose from existing ones, which students can then play in a variety of game modes, either individually or in groups.

The platform's core feature is its diverse range of game modes, such as "Tower Defense," "Gold Quest," "Battle Royale," and more, where students answer questions to progress in the game. Each game mode offers a unique and fun way to reinforce learning, with themes ranging from strategy games to competitive quizzes. Teachers can control the pace of the games, track student progress, and review their performance afterward.

Blooket is widely used across different grade levels and subjects, including math, science, history, and language arts. Teachers can create their own question sets or search for pre-made sets in the platform's library, which covers a wide range of topics and difficulty levels. Games can be played live in class or assigned as homework for independent study.

Students engage by joining the games using a unique code provided by the teacher, and they earn "Blooks" (characters) and rewards for their progress. These Blooks add a layer of fun and collectibility to the platform, further motivating students to participate.

Blooket operates on a freemium model, where the basic features are available for free, but teachers can access advanced features like enhanced reporting and additional game modes by subscribing to Blooket Plus, a paid version of the platform.

The platform is browser-based, so no downloads are required, making it accessible on any device with internet access. Blooket is popular in schools for its ease of use, flexibility in game creation, and ability to make learning more interactive and enjoyable for students.
