How to Assign Homework in Blooket: Complete Teacher Guide
Blooket’s homework feature lets you assign game-based practice that students complete independently — on their own time, at their own pace, before a deadline you set. Unlike a live-hosted game where everyone plays together at the same time, a homework assignment stays open for hours or days, and students choose which solo game mode they want to use to meet the requirement.

How to Assign Homework in Blooket?
This guide walks you through every step of how to assign homework in Blooket, explains each setting, and shows you where to view results.
What Makes Blooket Homework Different from a Live Game?
In a live-hosted game, students join at the same time using a game code, and you control when the game starts and ends. Everyone plays simultaneously.
In homework mode, you create an assignment that:
- Has a due date (a deadline you set)
- Has a Correct Goal (a target number of correct answers students must reach)
- It is accessed via a link or QR code that students can use at any time before the deadline.
- Let students choose their preferred solo game mode from available options.
Students do not need a live connection to you — they complete the assignment independently, and Blooket saves their results automatically. You can check progress at any time from your dashboard.
What do students need to complete the Homework?
Students can complete a Blooket homework assignment without creating an account. They just need the homework link or QR code that you share, and any device with a browser.
If a student has a Blooket account and is logged in when they complete the homework, they earn tokens and XP from the session. If they’re not logged in, they still complete the assignment, and their results are reported to you — they just don’t get the rewards.
Step 1: Choose Your Question Set
From your dashboard, find the question set you want to use:
- Go to My Sets to use a set you’ve created or saved
- Go to Discover or Curriculum to find a public or verified set
Click the set to open its preview page, or hover over the set card in My Sets.
Step 2: Click “Assign HW”
On the question set’s preview page, you’ll see three buttons: Host, Solo, and Assign HW. Click Assign HW.
If you’re in My Sets, the Assign HW option also appears when you hover over the set card or open its options menu.

Step 3: Configure Your Homework Settings
You’ll see a settings screen with the following fields:
1. Title
Give the assignment a clear name that students will see when they open it. A good format is something like “Week 8 Review: Fractions HW” or “Chapter 4 Vocabulary Practice.” This name appears on the homework details screen and in your Homework tab.
2. Due Date
Set the deadline for the assignment. Free (Starter) accounts can schedule homework up to 14 days in the future. Blooket Plus accounts can set deadlines up to 365 days in the future — useful for long-term review sets or recurring assignments.
Once the due date passes, students can no longer access or submit the assignment.
3. Correct Goal
This is the number of correct answers a student must achieve to complete the homework. You set this number based on your expectations:
- A small number (5–10) works well for a quick check-in or low-stakes practice
- A moderate number (15–25) is appropriate for regular review assignments
- A larger number (30+) suits test prep or comprehensive review sessions
The goal is tracked in real time during gameplay — students see how many more correct answers they need in the top corner of their screen, and a “Homework Complete!” pop-up appears when they reach it.
Tip: The Correct Goal is based on correct answers, not total questions attempted. If a student plays a fast game mode and misses questions, they simply need to keep playing until they’ve answered correctly enough times. This naturally encourages repeated practice.
4. Available Game Modes
You can choose which solo game modes students are allowed to use for the assignment. By default, several modes are available. Restricting to specific modes can be useful if you want students to practice a particular style of interaction (e.g., only self-paced modes for focused individual work).
5. Student Accounts
This setting controls whether students are prompted to log in or create a Blooket account when joining the homework. You can deactivate or activate this based on your class context and school policy.
Once all settings are configured, click Assign Now.
Step 4: Share the Homework Link or QR Code
After assigning, Blooket generates:
- A unique homework link — a direct URL that takes students straight to the assignment
- A QR code — students can scan it with a phone or tablet camera
You can share the link in any of the following ways:
- Google Classroom — Paste the link as an assignment or announcement
- LMS (Canvas, Schoology, SeeSaw, etc.) — Paste the link in your assignment description
- Email — Send the link to students or parents
- Projector — Display the QR code during class for students to scan immediately
Important: The link is connected to this specific assignment. If you assign the same question set again later, a new link will be generated for the new assignment.
Step 5: Monitor Progress in Real Time
Once the assignment is live, go to the Homework tab on your dashboard. You’ll see:
- Total number of students who have started the assignment
- How many have completed it (met the Correct Goal)
- A live leaderboard with each student’s current correct count
You can monitor this during a class period to see who is making progress, or check it at the end of the day to see who still needs to complete the work.
Step 6: Extend, Edit, or Close the Assignment
From the Homework tab, you have the following management options for any open assignment:
- Update the due date — Extend the deadline if students need more time
- Reopen — If the assignment has closed, you can reopen it temporarily
- End — Close the assignment before the due date (students can no longer submit)
- Delete — Remove the assignment entirely from your records
Step 7: Review Completed Results
After the due date passes (or after you close the assignment), go to History to access the full homework report. The report includes:
- Each student’s name, accuracy, total correct answers, and time played
- A question-by-question breakdown showing which questions students most commonly got wrong
- Individual student detail views — click any student’s name to see their full response history
Blooket Plus users can also download the full report as a spreadsheet for use in a gradebook or for sharing with parents or administrators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do students need an account to complete the homework?
No. Students can complete a Blooket homework assignment as a guest with just the link or QR code. If they have an account and are logged in, they earn tokens and XP in addition to completing the assignment.
What if a student closes the window before finishing?
They’ll need to start the session again using the original link or QR code. Progress from an interrupted session is generally not saved (unless they were playing a mode with a save state, like Tower Defense or Café). Completed homework results are saved — if a student met the Correct Goal before closing, their completion is recorded.
Can I assign the same question set to multiple classes?
Yes. Each time you click Assign HW, a new assignment is created with a new link. You can set the same question set and goal for each class period and get separate reports for each group.
Can parents access the homework link?
Yes. The homework link can be shared with anyone — you can send it to parents for at-home practice or post it publicly in your class materials. Anyone who accesses the link can complete the assignment.
Is there a way to require students to use a specific game mode?
Yes. In the homework settings screen, you can restrict the available game modes to only the ones you want. Students will only see those options when they start the assignment.
