A Blooket alternative for classic live quizzes, up to 500 players

Blooket is a classroom review-game platform run by Blooket LLC, a privately held US company. Teachers pick or create a question set, choose a game mode and share a Game ID; students join at play.blooket.com, by QR code or by link, with no account, and answer questions on their own devices while the game plays out. It's known for arcade-style modes such as Gold Quest, Crypto Hack, Battle Royale and Claw Mania, collectible characters called Blooks, a generous free plan and newer additions like Blooket Curriculum with Mastery Mode and a solo Arcade hub.

Best for: Elementary and middle-school teachers who want varied, game-heavy review sessions and homework games, often on a free plan.

• The free Starter plan stops at 60 players per game, and detailed reports are Plus-only.
• Plus lifts the cap to 300 players, but not in every mode: Racing and team modes are excluded.
• Luck and stealing mechanics in modes like Crypto Hack frustrate some students and can overshadow the questions themselves.
• Students can host their own games or slip into solo modes during class, and Blooket's help center explains how schools can block both.
• The lowest Plus price means paying for a year up front; month to month, Plus Flex is listed at $9.99.
• Its arcade modes are aimed at elementary and middle-school classes rather than adult trainings, company quizzes or large events.

• 500 players in every game

  Quizzo takes up to 500 players in any game. Blooket stops at 60 on Starter and at 300 on Plus, except in Racing and team modes.

• Points come from answers

  A correct answer earns 500–1,000 points depending on speed, with no stealing or luck mechanics. The leaderboard shows who knew the answers and how fast.

• One question, the whole room

  Everyone answers the same question at once, then an answer chart shows how the room responded — a natural moment to explain the right answer.

• Fits adults and events

  The quiz-show format works for staff trainings, conferences and trivia nights as well as classrooms, with no characters to collect.

• Turkish and English interface

  Hosts and players can use Quizzo in Turkish or English — handy for Turkish schools and mixed-language groups.

• Dozens of game modes

  Gold Quest, Crypto Hack, Battle Royale, Claw Mania and more keep the tenth review of the same set fresh. Quizzo has one game format.

• Homework and mastery tracking

  Homework games with deadlines (14 days on Starter, up to 365 on Plus), solo play and Blooket Curriculum with Mastery Mode. Quizzo runs live games only.

• Typed answers and set import

  Typing-answer questions, a large public library of question sets, Quizlet and spreadsheet import, and AI sets via Khan Academy's Khanmigo. Quizzo is multiple choice with no import.

• Free plan, cheaper annual Plus

  Starter costs nothing for up to 60 players, and annual Plus (about $59.88) costs less than seven months of Quizzo.

As of October 2026, Blooket's Starter plan is free for up to 60 players per game. Plus is listed at $59.88 a year ($4.99/month) and Plus Flex at $9.99 month to month in 2026 third-party reviews; both raise the cap to 300 players in most modes and unlock detailed reports and Plus-only modes. Seat-based school plans are reported from $550 a year for 10 teachers. Quizzo has one plan: $9/month, billed monthly, with 500 players per game. Month to month, Quizzo costs slightly less than Plus Flex; if you'd keep a plan all year, Blooket's annual Plus is cheaper.

Stay with Blooket if your students are hooked on its game modes, you assign homework games or your classes fit within the free 60-player limit. Switch to Quizzo if you want one straightforward live quiz that everyone understands, need more than 300 players, run sessions for adults or events, or would rather pay month to month for a single plan with no tiers.
