Blooket Host: How to Host a Game in 7 Steps (Complete Guide)

To Blooket host a live game, you pick a question set, choose a game mode and share a join code with your class. The whole thing takes about a minute once your set is ready. This guide walks through each click, and if you have not built a set yet, start with how to create a Blooket set.

Before You Host a Blooket Game

• A Blooket account and at least one set (browse the Blooket dashboard to find one).
• Students with any device and a browser.
• A projector or screen so everyone can see the Game ID.

How to Blooket Host a Game, Step by Step

Step 1: Open a set

Log in at Blooket and open any set from Discover or My Sets.

Step 2: Click Host

On the set page, click the teal Host button next to Solo.

Step 3: Choose a game mode

Scroll through the Select a Game Mode screen and click the one you want, for example Tower Defense 2. If you are unsure which to pick, read Blooket game modes explained first.

Step 4: Click Host on the mode page

Each mode shows a short description, the player limit (60 on the free plan) and a suggested number of players. Click Host.

Step 5: Click Host Now

Choose how the game ends, for example Time, then click Host Now.

Step 6: Share the join link or Game ID

Blooket shows a Game ID at the top. Students can type it at play.blooket.com, or you can click Copy Join Link and paste it into your class chat or LMS. Our Blooket play guide explains what students see on their side.

Step 7: Wait in the lobby, then start

The lobby shows how many players have joined. When everyone is in, start the game. Blooket displays the Game ID and a QR code until you do.

Tips for Smooth Hosting

• Open the lobby a few minutes early so slow devices can join.
• If you want students to play later instead, use Blooket homework.
• Ask students to pick appropriate names.
• Do a solo test of the set first.
