Blooket Access Blocked: How to Request Access on School Networks
The “Access Blocked” screen appears when a school network’s content filter or Google Workspace policy has restricted access to Blooket. It is a network-level block — not an issue with your Blooket account. Learn more about Blooket Access Blocked for Schools in this guide.

Blooket Access Blocked For Schools
(How to Request Access)
Immediate action if class is starting now: Select “Request Access” on the Access Blocked screen and notify your IT administrator verbally while students work on an alternative activity.
The Two Types of School Blocks
Type 1 — Google Workspace for Education Block: Your school’s Google Workspace settings require administrator approval for third-party apps. This specifically affects accounts using school-managed Google sign-in.
Type 2 — General Network/Firewall Block: Your school’s firewall or content filtering system has blocked blooket.com at the network level, affecting all devices on the school Wi-Fi.
Both show similar “Access Blocked” messages. The Google Workspace fix and the network whitelist fix are different — identify which type you have first.

Fix 1: Google Workspace Block
Step 1: If the “Access Blocked” message appears when trying to access Blooket on a school network, select “request access.”
It sends an automated notification to your school’s Google Workspace Administrator flagging that Blooket access has been requested.
Step 2: Notify your Google Workspace Administrator directly.
The “request access” button initiates the notification, but follow up in person or by email. Your administrator needs to approve Blooket’s third-party app access through the Google Admin Console.
For IT administrators: Follow the steps outlined in the official support article to configure access for Blooket: Update Third-Party App Access for Blooket in Google Workspace for Education.
The process involves: Google Admin Console → Security → Access and data control → API controls → Manage third-party app access → Find Blooket → Approve.
Fix 2: General Network Block
If your school’s firewall has blocked blooket.com entirely (not a Google Workspace issue), ask your IT administrator to whitelist the following domains:
| Domain | Purpose |
| blooket.com | Main platform |
| play.blooket.com | Student game joining |
| firebaseio.com | Real-time game data |
| res.cloudinary.com | Image hosting |
| images.unsplash.com | Image hosting |
Run the diagnostic tool at debug.blooket.com to see exactly which domains are being blocked — the results page is a ready-made IT request that shows precisely what needs to be whitelisted.

Temporary Workaround While Waiting for IT
Students don’t need accounts to join live games. While waiting for the block to be resolved:
- Ask students to join using their personal devices on mobile data (bypasses the school network) if school policy allows
- Use the Join Link via Google Classroom rather than requiring students to navigate to play.blooket.com

If the Block Is for a Different Reason
If you are unable to access Blooket for another reason — one that’s not a school network or Google Workspace issue — please email support at contact-us@blooket.com for additional support.
