VERDICT

Should I use Blooket?

Blooket is an exciting new take on the modern classroom review game. It aims to match action with education to create the ultimate learning experience! - blooket.com

Worth it. K-8 teachers who want lively, free review games should start with the free tier immediately. Skip it if you need rigorous assessment, older students, or audited privacy guarantees.
