First, Blooket is basically an online quiz game, much like Kahoot or Quizizz. You can play it solo or as a group, and it’s great for classrooms or friendly competition. Let’s break it down step by step:
-
Sign Up or Log In: Go to blooket.com and either sign up for a new account or log in if you already have one. You just need a username and password.
-
Explore the Dashboard: Once logged in, you’ll land on your dashboard. Here you can see your existing activities or create new ones. It’s quite intuitive but can feel cluttered at first.
-
Create or Join a Game:
- Creating a Game: Click on ‘Create a Set’, give it a title, and add your questions. You can choose multiple-choice, true/false, etc.
- Joining a Game: If someone else is hosting, you’ll need a Game ID. Open Blooket, click on ‘Join a Game’, and enter the ID.
-
Host a Game: If you’re the host, after creating a Game Set, click ‘Host’. You’ll get options for game modes (Gold Quest, Tower Defense, etc.). Each mode has different rules – pick one and launch it. Share the game PIN with your participants.
-
Gameplay: Players join using the game PIN. They’ll see questions on their device. As a host, you can monitor progress and see who’s on top of the leaderboard.
-
Other Features: There are plenty of other neat features like custom avatars (called Blooks), power-ups in certain game modes, and analytics to track performance.
