## Trivia

* Ben Stewart is a senior at Appoquinimink High School, a Middletown public high school. It's a part of the Appoquinimink School District. located near Delaware, United States. Middletown, Delaware, United States
* Ben mentioned on the Blooket Discord Channel that he built Blooket while in high school because he was tired with existing classroom review games (Kahoot, Quizlet, etc.) and believed he could do better.
* Blooket was difficult for Ben Stewart to create. In fact, when he originally started building Blooket, he had no idea how to code a website.
* Tower Defense, another blooket gamemode, took Ben Stewart a year to develop, however it is unrelated to this site/wiki/fandom because we only discuss about flappy blook.
* Blooket began because Ben is really in love with gaming and passionate about gaming and has always wanted to create a website, game, or something.
* Ben wanted to explore what the bare minimum game he could create with the resources he had.
* Ben was able to make blooks because he saw a free art pack online that looked like these small square creatures and he was brainstorming what to call them, and that is how we got blooks in Blooket.
* Ben came up with the term "Blooket" after seeing a small square that resembled a block and replacing the c with an o, which resulted in Blook, which sounded incredibly fantastic, and so "Blooket" was born.
* Ben wanted to reward kids that played blooket more, so he and his team produced various rarities of blook and other items, which is how we came to where we are now.
* So, when he was 17 or 18, Ben was in high school and, like other students who use the site now, he was playing a lot of kahoot and all those other games that he thinks are amazing. But then he grew weary of it and believes it's lacking something; he's also tired of the same students constantly winning and points and answer streaks, so he felt they could do more with gamification stuff and began looking into coding.
* Ben had a few tries in making blooket
* "Racing Mode," another blooket gamemode, irritates Ben. He believes it's horrible since it just throws you random points regardless of how quickly you replied anything, which isn't very entertaining.
* Ben got the idea of adding other gamemodes after attempting to divide it up and conduct other games, and that is when he began to get the idea for different gamemodes, rather than simply copying principles from some famous things and seeing how they function in the classroom.
* Ben likes playing the ''Battle Royale'' game mode.
* Story of why Ben removed the referral program: ￼ Ben removed the Referrer Program because people began to get referrers in the year 2040-2050. When Ben found out, he was like okay how is this happening and partially it was happening because people were just spam creating accounts and then giving themselves a fur, you know basically anyone could get plus by just creating a bunch of accounts, so Ben and his team addressed that issue by making it more secure to get accounts. But they also had to go through the people and look at the years, so in particular he had forgotten how long but those people have blooket plus for like the next 10 years and Ben was like there's no way this guy has referred that many people and he accidentally removed that guy's plus and so they had to remove it from a couple of people but they are planning to kind of bring some things back in the future. If you've spent any time in Blooket, you'll note that Ben and his team are constantly introducing new features while also removing some. Almost every function that they've removed has been abused. And exploited in some way. They want to put it back since they took away a lot of things in some manner and so they didn't take them all away.
* Ben created flappy blook because he was inspired by the flappy bird game and wanted to create it. The flappy blook is a character in the flappy bird and phaser games.
* Ben mentioned that the blooket site was incredibly unsecure and unreliable for the first two years, crashing all the time, thus no one was actually utilizing it at that time.
* Ben spent the whole summer at the beginning of the year of 2022 creating four new gamemodes before the year gold quest, tower events, and the most popular gamemodes were published.
* Alot of earlier blooks that Ben and his team made were mainly just kept in square shape.
* Ben's favorite blooks are usually the rare ones, such as the Ghost and the new one that they're releasing for the winner of the PAC event (Tim the Alien). Ben's favorite common blook is Bear.
* Ben's username in Blooket is ''Bot''
* Ben has a few accounts that are for testing. ￼
