Community Q&A

Question: How do you get a Chroma blook?

ADVERTISEMENT

Answer: By luck. You can’t get it using other ways. Play a lot of Blooket games and get enough money to keep purchasing from Blooket boxes. Some incredibly lucky people have been able to get a Chroma blook. Unless you hack the website (which is probably illegal) there aren’t any easy ways to get the extraordinary rare Chroma blook.

Question: How do you play by yourself in a Blooket game?

Answer: Sign in to Blooket. Go to the “Discover” tab. It is next to the “Play” button on the Blooket homepage. It is at the top of the screen. Click on a game set you want to play, and click the button that says “Solo”.

Question: What happens when there are more players than characters/blooks on a given Blooket game?

Answer: This will probably not happen, but in the rare case that the players outnumber the blooks, Blooket will provide plain color blooks for the remaining players to join.

Question: How do you make a custom blook?

Answer: Go to your stats page, then click on the + button. This allows you to use different custom attributes to make a Blook, depending on your Class Pass level.

Question: How to equip new blooks to play with?

Answer: Spend the tokens gained from playing games on boxes in the market tab. Once you unlock new blooks, you can select them to use in games.

Question: What do I do if the game says it is on solo but it is not?

Answer: That might never happen. But in case it does, go back to your account again and click discover to find the game you were playing earlier. It gives you an option to play Solo or to Host a game. Click Solo and choose the game mode.

Question: How do I save a game in Blooket?

Answer: In some game modes, like Tower of Doom, when you load a new game, it automatically saves it for you to play later. But this only happens in case you haven’t completed that game. Games that have been completed cannot be played again. And, if you want to continue playing you unfinished game, click ‘Load game’ and select the game you were playing.
