With this new school year, students are finding new activities to keep them entertained during free time in class. One of the games being the online game, Block Blast. Students have become obsessed with the game, playing it any opportunity they have. The game was created on April 3, 2022, but has just recently become popular.

Users of this game try to beat their high score, but can only think to themselves that there is a secret way to beat this game, some not being able to pass a high score of 2000, most not being able to pass 7000, and a very few that make it very high up there.

Block Blast to some can easily be shown as a negative thing, but the game is also an IQ booster. It allows for problem solving, strategy, and attention to detail. Recently students have been drawn to the game because of its increased reviews on TikTok.

“Everywhere I go, especially in the hallways, I turn and look at peoples phone and Block Blast is on the screen,” Hailey Krampe, a student at HC, said.

Block Blast is seen on students’ screens all around the school and other places. After downloading, the game becomes addictive, yet frustrating. Block Blast has taken over the internet and has become one of the most popular games at this time during the year..

Students are focused on beating their high score, or their friends’ high score. Even though it is an online game, Block Blast can be used in good ways. It challenges students’ brains and creates something that needs to be beaten.

Over 200 Million people have been recorded to be on this app. There are a variety of educational video games available to help students study core concepts and develop problem-solving skills, and teachers can use popular video games as a window into what students care about, building on their interests to create bridges to history, STEM, literature, and more.
