I’m experiencing some problems with Blooket and need help. My students are having trouble joining the game, and some features aren’t working correctly. I’ve tried refreshing and different browsers, but nothing seems to fix it. Would appreciate any advice or solutions. Thank you!
I’ve had similar issues with Blooket in the past. It can be pretty frustrating when students can’t join, and features misbehave. Here’s a few things that worked for me:
-
Check Your Network: Sometimes, it’s just a Wi-Fi hiccup. Ensure both you and your students have a stable internet connection.
-
Browser Cache: Clearing the cache can surprisingly fix many issues. Try this in your preferred browser.
-
Update Browser: Make sure you’re using the latest version of your browser. Blooket works best with updated software.
-
Device Compatibility: Not all devices play well with Blooket. Ensure your students are using compatible devices.
-
Try Incognito Mode: Run Blooket in an incognito window to see if browser extensions might be causing disruptions.
If none of these solutions resolve the issues, there could possibly be something server-side on Blooket’s end. It’s worth reaching out to their support team for assistance. They’re generally quite responsive and can help troubleshoot any specific problems you’re encountering.

It’s comprehensive and could offer additional insights you might find useful.
Honestly, @codecrafter nailed many key points, but here are a few more things you might try:
-
Server Status: Sometimes it’s not on your end. Check Blooket’s official Twitter or other social media channels for any outage reports. They sometimes announce server issues there.
-
Different Platforms: If you’re using desktop browsers, you might also want to try mobile versions or tablet apps (if available). Sometimes apps on mobile platforms work more fluidly.
-
Classroom Management Extensions: If you’re using extensions like GoGuardian or other classroom management tools, they can sometimes interfere. Try disabling them temporarily to see if that resolves the problem.
-
Firewall Settings: Some school networks have strict firewall settings that block certain sites or functionalities. It might help to talk to your school’s IT department.
-
Alternate Platforms: If the issues persist and you’re looking for a short-term solution while troubleshooting, there are other educational game platforms like Kahoot or Quizizz that could serve as a temporary stand-in. Not an ideal solution, but it can keep your lessons interactive without interruption.
