Three modes no longer appear on Blooket’s game mode selection screen: Imposters, which never actually launched, Snowball Fight, retired after one lukewarm season, and Pirate’s Voyage, retired exactly two years after release. Each disappeared for a different reason, and only two of the three left behind a confirmed successor.

Why Was Imposters Never Released?

Imposters never made it past development. The concept placed one player as a secret Imposter tasked with “eliminating” Crewmates who answered questions and voted to identify who among them was lying, built around a spaceship setting and social-deduction voting rounds.

Blooket scrapped the mode for three stated reasons: its slow, discussion-heavy voting format didn’t fit Blooket’s fast quiz pacing, its violent themes around eliminating classmates and finding dead bodies clashed with a school-safe platform, and it sat too close in concept to the well-known social-deduction game it drew inspiration from. Because it never released publicly, no token rate, exact date, or live gameplay footage exists for it.

What Was Snowball Fight and Why Was It Retired?

Snowball Fight launched December 10, 2019, during Season 1’s “Blizzard Blast” event as a team-only mode with no Solo option. Every three correct answers unlocked a choice between Attack, which cost the opposing team 5 HP, or Defend, which added 2 HP to a player’s own team, repeating until one side hit zero HP or time expired.

The mode drew a lukewarm community reception and never returned for Season 2. Blooket replaced its seasonal slot directly with Santa’s Workshop, which has run every winter since. Snowball Fight’s attack-and-defend structure closely resembles the shield system in Blook Rush, though Blooket’s own records only describe this as a likely inspiration rather than a confirmed mechanical transfer between the two modes.

Why Was Pirate’s Voyage Retired?

Pirate’s Voyage released September 26, 2023, and stayed Plus-exclusive for its entire two-year existence, the only retired mode that never went free. Players rolled two dice for a value between 2 and 12, moving their ship across 22 islands, including a Treasure Island that doubled a player’s doubloon count and a Wreckage tile that triggered a 3×3 grid steal mini-game called the Pirate Heist. Regular islands paid out more doubloons on each repeat visit, scaling from a few hundred on the first stop into the millions by a sixth return.

Blooket retired the mode on September 26, 2025, exactly two years to the day after launch, citing a need to free up development resources for newer modes. Blooket’s own statement pointed to Plus subscriber attention shifting toward releases like Laser Tag, Cocoa Cottage, and Mini Mine, and named Pirate Pool as the intended pirate-themed successor going forward.

Did Any Mode Directly Replace Imposters?

Not in a mechanical sense, since Imposters never launched publicly and had no live system for another mode to inherit. Deceptive Dinos filled the thematic gap Imposters would have occupied instead, carrying a detection-and-deception layer through its excavate-and-investigate loop rather than reusing any of Imposters’ actual spaceship or voting mechanics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Imposters ever playable by the public? 

No, Imposters was scrapped during development and never released to any Blooket users outside of internal testing.

Can you still play Snowball Fight? 

No, Snowball Fight has been unavailable since the end of Season 1 in 2019 and is considered lost media, since almost no gameplay footage exists from its short run.

Is Pirate’s Voyage the same mode as Pirate Pool? 

No, Pirate Pool is a separate, currently active mode that Blooket introduced as Pirate’s Voyage’s successor after retirement, not a renamed version of the same game.

Which retired mode had the longest run before being removed? 

Pirate’s Voyage lasted exactly two years from its September 26, 2023 release to its September 26, 2025 retirement, longer than Snowball Fight’s single-season run.

Did any retired mode get a confirmed direct successor? 

Yes, two did. Santa’s Workshop replaced Snowball Fight in the seasonal rotation, and Pirate Pool replaced Pirate’s Voyage. Imposters has no confirmed direct successor since it never released.
