Q1: Is Blooket Free?

Yes. All of Blooket’s essential features are free.

You can create an unlimited number of question sets and host a game with up to 60 players, no credit card, no trial period, no hidden fees. The free plan is genuinely complete for classroom use.

Blooket also offers an optional Plus upgrade for teachers who want additional features: hosting up to 300 players (except Racing and team modes), enhanced student reports, audio questions, longer homework deadlines, and exclusive game modes.

Q2: Do Students Need a Blooket Account to Play?

Students can join any live game using just the Game ID, QR code, or Join Link their teacher shares; no login, no signup, no account required. They type a nickname, pick a Blook, and they’re in.

However, students who do create accounts get access to additional features: collecting and keeping Blooks between sessions, tracking their stats, earning tokens and XP, and playing Solo games on their own anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a limit to how many question sets I can create for free?

No. Free accounts can create an unlimited number of question sets with no credit card or hidden fees required.

Can students play without downloading anything?

Yes. Students join directly in a web browser using the Game ID, QR code, or Join Link; no app download or account creation is needed to participate.

What’s the maximum number of players in a free hosted game?

Up to 60 players. Blooket Plus raises this to up to 300 players for most game modes, with some exceptions like Racing and team modes.

How long can a free homework assignment stay open?

Up to 14 days. Blooket Plus extends this to up to 365 days, giving teachers much more flexibility for long-term or self-paced assignments.

Do I need to make a question set Public to share it with a colleague?

Yes. The Link option only appears on Public sets. If your set is Private, you’ll need to switch it to Public in Edit Info before the shareable link becomes available.

Where do I go to change my Blook, banner, or title all in one place?

The Stats tab, not Settings. All three visual identity elements are managed from the same page, each changed by clicking on the current version and choosing a new one.

What’s the difference between the Settings page and the Stats page?

Settings controls account information like your username, email, and password. Stats controls your visual identity: your profile Blook, banner, and title.
