What teachers build on Kleveroo
Short answer: different formats. Use both if it helps.
Blooket is solo-device, game-show-mode play. Kleveroo is team-based Jeopardy-style review on a shared screen (with an optional live multiplayer mode). Many classrooms keep both in their toolkit — Blooket for individual practice, Kleveroo for end-of-unit team review.

What a Kleveroo team board looks like
Five categories across, six rows of point tiles down. Project it on the TV, split the class into teams, and run a 20-minute review round. Three team scoreboards with one-tap +/− scoring sit right under the grid.
One board, more ways to play
Classic stays free. Kleveroo+ adds Claim the Grid (claim tiles and connect a line), Wager Mode (game-point balances and steals), Tug of War (answers pull a shared marker), and Roo Reveal (trivia points, letter guesses, and hidden phrases). Reuse a compatible board for different competitions on one shared screen, with one host and no player phones. These four modes require Kleveroo+, not Boards membership.

Frequently asked questions
+Are Kleveroo and Blooket the same kind of tool?
Not quite. Blooket is a solo-device classroom game-show platform where each student joins from their own device and plays through different game modes. Kleveroo's Board Battle offers free Classic Jeopardy-style team review plus four Kleveroo+ board modes — built around one shared screen and one host. Some classrooms use both for different moments in a unit.
+Is Kleveroo a Blooket alternative?
It's an alternative for the review-game use case. If you want students playing in teams against a projected board with categories and point values, Kleveroo is closer to what you want than Blooket's solo-device format. If you want every student answering individually on their own device for the whole game, Blooket is a better fit.
+Can students play Kleveroo on their own devices?
Yes. Kleveroo supports live multiplayer rooms where each player joins from their phone or Chromebook with a 6-character code. The most common classroom flow, though, is the Jeopardy-style team board on a shared screen.
+Is Kleveroo free for teachers?
Yes. The manual builder and host view are free forever, with no credit card. Paid plans (Boards $4.99/mo, Kleveroo+ $9.99/mo) unlock optional AI generation, premium curated boards, larger 8×8 boards, and visual themes.
+How is the format different from Blooket day-to-day?
Blooket's strength is solo, fast-paced, high-volume question play — students grind through many questions individually. Kleveroo's strength is structured group review: you pick categories, reveal one clue at a time, debate as a team, and watch the scoreboard. Different energy in the room.
+Can I make a game about my own lesson content?
Yes. The free manual builder lets you write every category, clue, and answer by hand. With Kleveroo+, the AI generator can take a topic or a PDF lesson plan and produce a draft board you can edit before class.
+When should I pick Blooket instead?
When you want every student to answer every question individually on their own device, or when your students already love a specific Blooket game mode (Gold Quest, Tower Defense, etc.). Those modes don't exist in Kleveroo. Use the right tool for the moment.
