Blooket Glossary
Every Blooket term you'll hear in a classroom, defined in plain English. Use this page when a guide mentions a word you're not sure about — every entry links to a deeper article when one exists.
- Blook
- A collectible character in Blooket — students unlock new Blooks by earning tokens during games. Blooks are cosmetic; they don't affect gameplay accuracy.
- Blooket Plus
- Blooket's paid subscription for teachers. It unlocks larger class sizes, advanced reports, additional question types, and homework features. Free accounts can still host most games.
- Dashboard
- The teacher-side workspace at blooket.com after login. Hosts games, edits sets, opens reports, and manages classes.
- Game ID
- A short numeric code (usually 6–7 digits) shown to the class when a teacher hosts a live game. Students enter it at play.blooket.com to join.
- Game Mode
- The interactive format wrapped around a question set — examples include Gold Quest, Tower Defense, Café, and Crypto Hack.
- Homework Mode
- A non-live assignment format. Students complete the set on their own time using a join link, and teachers see results in Reports.
- Host
- The verb for starting a live Blooket game. The teacher 'hosts' the session and shares the Game ID with students.
- Lobby
- The waiting screen displayed before a live game starts. Students see their nicknames appear as they join.
- Nickname
- The display name a student enters when joining a game. Teachers usually ask for a recognizable name like 'First-Last initial'.
- play.blooket.com
- The student-facing join page. Asks only for a Game ID and a nickname — never a password.
- Question Set
- The pool of questions powering a Blooket game. Teachers create their own, import from Quizlet, or pick from the public Discover library.
- Report
- A per-student breakdown of game results in the teacher dashboard. Shows accuracy, time per question, and most-missed items.
- Token
- In-game currency students earn during play. Tokens unlock new Blooks and are tracked when a student is signed into their account.
- XP
- Experience points tied to a student account. XP carries across sessions and reflects total time spent learning on Blooket.
