How to Create an Account on Blooket: 6 Steps

Blooket is one of those rare classroom tools that feels like a game first and “learning” second (the best kind of
trick, honestly). If you want to host games, track progress, save sets, or unlock goodies like Blooks, you’ll need an
account. The good news: creating a Blooket account is fast. The even better news: the most common problems (school
email weirdness, verification codes, forgotten passwords) are also fixablewithout sacrificing your sanity.

In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to sign up in six clear steps, whether you’re a teacher, a
student, or a parent helping from the sidelines. Along the way, we’ll cover age requirements, the difference between
playing vs. having an account, and quick troubleshooting tips so you can get to the fun part sooner.

Quick note before you start

• You can play without an account if your teacher gives you a game code or homework link. You’ll
  usually just enter a nickname and jump in.
• Creating an account may have age requirements. If you’re under the required age, ask a parent,
  guardian, or school official for help and follow the platform’s consent rules. Don’t try to “speed-run” this by
  entering the wrong birthdayfuture-you will not be impressed.

Step 1: Go to Blooket and hit “Sign Up”

Start at the official Blooket website and click Sign Up. You’ll be taken into the account creation
flow where Blooket asks a few basics before you can enter the dashboard.

Pro tip

If you’re on a school computer and pages load like they’re traveling by bicycle, try switching browsers (Chrome tends
to behave), or temporarily disable aggressive extensions that block sign-in popups.

Step 2: Choose Student or Teacher

Blooket will ask whether you’re signing up as a Student or a Teacher. This matters
because your account experienceand what you can seechanges based on the role.

If you’re a teacher

• You’ll get tools for hosting games, assigning homework, and managing question sets.
• Many educators like using the dashboard workflow to discover sets and create their own.
• Teacher accounts can include reporting features that help track class performance (helpful when you want proof that
  “they totally learned it,” not just “they totally clicked buttons”).

If you’re a student

• You can still create and save question sets (depending on features available to your account).
• You can join games without an account, but an account helps you save progress and settings.

Not sure which to pick? If you’re the one hosting the game and assigning it, pick Teacher. If you’re mostly joining
games and doing assignments, pick Student.

Step 3: Confirm your age and location

Next, Blooket asks for your date of birth and whether you’re outside the United States. This step
exists for privacy and compliance reasons, especially for younger users.

Why this step matters

In the U.S., websites and online services have special rules about collecting personal information from children
under 13 (COPPA). Blooket also explains that children under 13 can only create accounts with appropriate consent.

What to do if you’re under the age requirement

• Don’t create an account solo. Ask a parent/guardian or your school/teacher for the right way to
  proceed.
• You can still play most classroom games without an account using a game code, QR code, or link.
  That means you can participate without needing to register.

Bottom line: use your real info, follow consent rules, and if you’re stuck, playing as a guest is often enough for
day-to-day class use.

Step 4: Pick Google sign-up or email sign-up

Now you choose your sign-up method. Blooket commonly supports signing up with Google or with
email.

Option A: Sign up with Google

This is the “fast pass” for many usersespecially in schools that already use Google accounts. Click the Google
option and follow the prompts to select your account and confirm access.

• Best for: Teachers or students with working Google accounts and popups enabled.
• Watch for: School-managed accounts that block third-party access or sign-in popups.

Option B: Sign up with email

Prefer email? Enter an email address you can actually receive messages on. Blooket sends a verification code during
sign-up, so if your inbox is “locked down,” you’ll hit a wall.

Important: Some school/district student emails are configured not to receive outside messages. If
that’s your situation, use an email that can receive mail or use Google sign-in if allowed.

Mini checklist before you click “Submit”

• Use an email inbox you can access right now (not “later,” not “when I remember my password”).
• Keep the Blooket sign-up tab open while you retrieve your code.
• Check spam/junk folders if the code doesn’t show up quickly.

Step 5: Verify, set a password, and pick a username

This step is where your account becomes “real.” Depending on your sign-up method, you’ll complete a few final items:
verification, password, and username.

If you signed up with email

1. Enter the verification code sent to your email and confirm it in the Blooket window.
2. Create a strong password. A good rule of thumb: 8+ characters, with a mix of uppercase,
   lowercase, numbers, and a special character.

If you signed up with Google

You’ll typically complete Google verification during the sign-in flow and won’t need to create a separate password
right away (you can manage password options later in settings if the platform supports it).

Choose a username you won’t regret

Blooket will ask you to create a username. Pick something school-appropriate and easy to recognize
on a projected screen. If your teacher is displaying the leaderboard, “xXx_DestroyerOfWorksheets_xXx” might get a
reaction… but maybe not the one you want.

Agree to the policies

You’ll also be asked to confirm that you agree to the platform’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. This is
standard (and a good moment to make sure you’re comfortable with how the service handles data).

Step 6: Finish setup and do a quick “it works!” test

Once you submit your username and finish sign-up, you should land in your Blooket dashboard. Before you close
anything, do a 60-second test so you know you’re set up correctly.

Fast verification checklist

• Log out and log back in (or open a new tab) to confirm you can access your account.
• Find a question set in Discover and favorite it so you can locate it later.
• Create a tiny practice set (3 questions is enough) to confirm creation tools work.

If you’re a teacher: do one “pilot run”

Teachers often benefit from running a short test game (even solo) to see the flow from start to finishhosting,
getting a game code, and viewing results afterward. Many educators use Blooket reporting and history-style features
to spot which topics students mastered and which ones need a re-teach.

Common problems and quick fixes

“My school email won’t work.”

Some school-managed student emails can’t receive outside mail, which breaks verification-code sign-ups. If that’s the
case, try Google sign-in (if allowed) or use an email account that can receive messages.

“I never got the verification code.”

• Check spam/junk and any “Focused/Other” inbox tabs.
• Search your inbox for “Blooket” and “code.”
• Make sure you didn’t close the sign-up tab mid-processsome flows require restarting if interrupted.

“I forgot my password.”

Use the Forgot Password option on the login page and follow the reset-code steps. Keep the reset
page open while you retrieve the code, then set a new password.

“I want to change my email later.”

Blooket’s settings may allow you to change your email through a confirmation-code process that verifies both your
current email and the new one.

FAQ: Creating a Blooket account

Do students need a Blooket account to play?

Often, no. Students can usually join live games and homework assignments with a game code, QR code, or link and just
enter a nickname. Accounts are more useful for saving progress and personal settings.

Is “Sign up with Google” better than email?

It depends. Google sign-in is usually faster and avoids email verification delays, but some school accounts restrict
third-party sign-in. Email sign-up works well when you have reliable access to your inbox.

What’s the difference between a teacher account and a student account?

Teacher accounts are designed for hosting, assigning, organizing sets, and reviewing performance. Student accounts
focus more on participating and building personal content, depending on allowed features.

Final thoughts

Creating a Blooket account is simple, but doing it smoothly comes down to two things: choosing the right
sign-up method (Google vs. email) and making sure you can complete verification without getting blocked by school
settings. Once your account is active, you’ll have an easier time saving sets, hosting games, and keeping everything
organizedso you can spend less time clicking around and more time actually learning (or at least winning).

500-word “real-life” experiences: what it’s like when you actually do this

Here’s the part nobody tells you: creating a Blooket account is easy… unless you’re doing it five minutes before
class starts with a room full of students staring at you like you’re the pilot and the plane is making a weird
noise. The sign-up steps are short, but the experience tends to follow a familiar storylineespecially in
schools.

A common teacher moment goes like this: you click Sign Up, pick Teacher, and think,
“Great, I’ll just use my school email.” Then the email verification code takes a dramatic pause like it’s starring
in a soap opera. You refresh your inbox. Nothing. You refresh again. Still nothing. You check spam. You check
promotions. You wonder if email, as a concept, was a mistake. This is usually when Google sign-in becomes the hero of
the storyassuming your school allows it. Many educators prefer that route because it’s fast and skips the “Where is
my code?” scavenger hunt.

Students often have a different first impression. A lot of them meet Blooket as a guest first: the teacher posts a
code, everyone joins, and there’s a small wave of nickname creativity. (Some nicknames are hilarious; some are
definitely not making it past the teacher’s “rename that right now” filter.) In that setting, students learn the
platform before they ever create an account. Then later, when someone wants to host their own review game or save
sets, the account sign-up becomes the “level up” moment.

The biggest speed bump for students is often the school email restriction. Some student accounts
can’t receive outside emails, so an email-based sign-up may fail even if everything looks correct. That leads to the
classic confused question: “But I typed it rightwhy isn’t it working?” The honest answer is that it’s not always
about typing; sometimes it’s about what the school system allows. In those cases, the smoothest path is asking a
teacher/parent what sign-in method your school expects (or using guest play when that’s all you need).

Once you’re in, the experience usually flips from “setup stress” to “okay, this is actually fun.” Teachers often
report that the dashboard helps them quickly find pre-made sets or create their own, and then the results/history
view makes it easier to spot patternslike a question everyone missed (which is either a teachable moment… or a sign
the question is worded like a riddle written by a sleepy raccoon). Students, meanwhile, tend to remember Blooket as
“that review game where class got loud,” whicheducationally speakingis not the worst legacy to have.

If you take one lesson from these real-world moments, make it this: do a tiny test run once your account is created.
Log out and back in, favorite one set, and confirm you can host/join the way you expect. That 60-second check can
save you from the most annoying classroom problem of all: having a great activity planned and spending half of it
troubleshooting sign-in while everyone slowly turns into a chorus of “Is it working yet?”
