Pirate Pool is a Blooket game mode which is avilable for Solo and Homework play. It was released on June 2, 2025, and was first available to selected players. In this mode, you can use you own Blooks to hit doubloons across the board and send them into pirate pockets to earn points. The gameplay is inspired by cue-based games such as pool and carrom, which match the pirate theme of the mode. It has a normal difficulty level. A full game usually takes more than 10 minutes to complete. Just like most of the game modes, questions appear at a normal frequency, and you must answer them correctly to keep playing. Pirate Pool comes with two main play modes. First one is survival Mode which will let you play for as long as possible by answering questions and scoring points until you run out of shots. You can replay levels to beat their own high scores and learn each layout.
On June 3, 2025, this game mode was temporarily removed from the Solo mode selection screen. It returned on July 21, 2025, and became available to all players without beta access.
After the mode was removed, a glitch allowed some players to continue playing it. Players could do this by selecting Plushie Panic or Study mode and then changing the word “bubble” or “study” in the game URL to “carrom.” This method worked for a short time. The issue was later fixed, and the glitch no longer works in any game mode.

Game Mechanicsm
When you start the game, you can choose between Survival mode and Level Master mode.
Survival Mode
In Survival mode, you are placed in a level with a limited number of shots. The number of shots depends on the level difficulty. Your goal is to knock all doubloons into the pirate pockets before you run out of shots. If you hit doubloons into pirate pockets in a row, you earn a star. After the level ends, the star gives you bonus points. You also earn extra points based on how many shots you have left. Each new level increases the number of doubloons. The minimum number of doubloons is 4, and the maximum is 32.
Level Master Mode
In Level Master mode, you also start with a limited number of shots based on the level difficulty. Unlike Survival mode, you can choose any level to play. There are currently 7 levels available in this mode.
Doubloons List
Following is the list of all Doubloon featured in Pirate Pool:
Bronze Doubloon
Bronze Doubloon gives you 100 points. To score, you need to hit it using your Blook ball and knock it into one of the pirate pockets. It behaves like a normal doubloon and does not have any special effects.
Silver Doubloon
Silver Doubloon is worth 150 points. You score by hitting it with your Blook ball and sending it into a pirate pocket. It works the same way as a normal doubloon but gives more points than the Bronze Doubloon.
Gold Doubloon
Gold Doubloon gives you 200 points. You must hit it with your Blook ball and land it in a pirate pocket to earn points. It is a normal doubloon and rewards you with the highest points among standard doubloons.
Ice Doubloon
Ice Doubloon is worth 150 points. Unlike normal doubloons, it slides faster and travels farther across the board when hit. This makes it harder to control but useful for long shots.
Jewel
Jewel gives you 250 points. You do not need to knock it into a pirate pocket. If your Blook or any doubloon touches it, you immediately earn the points and the Jewel disappears.
Cannonball
Cannonball gives points based on the doubloons it hits. When you hit it, the Cannonball bounces around the map for about 5 seconds. Any doubloon it touches is automatically collected and gives its normal points. Each doubloon it hits uses up one charge. The number shown on the Cannonball tells you how many uses remain.
