You built the perfect review set for tomorrow’s chemistry quiz. The questions are tight, the images are clear, and you play-tested it with your toughest fourth-period class. Now the biology teacher down the hall wants a copy.
Sharing a Blooket question set with another teacher takes under a minute once you know the flow: open My Sets, click the gear icon next to your set, choose Link, and paste the URL wherever your team communicates. That is the entire trick.
Most teachers hit a wall on the first attempt because the Link button hides behind a privacy toggle. When a set is marked Private, that option disappears from the gear menu, and the fix is a two-click switch inside the set’s edit screen.
This guide walks through both sharing methods, the Solo Links shortcut for self-paced play, department workflows that stopped my team from rebuilding the same set three times, and the small mistakes that quietly waste a Friday afternoon.
How do you share a Blooket question set with another teacher?
Sharing a Blooket question set with another teacher works through two built-in options: a direct link that keeps the set private but viewable to anyone with the URL, and a public listing that makes the set searchable inside Blooket’s Discover feed. Both start from the My Sets area of your Blooket dashboard and take about thirty seconds.
The right choice depends on who you trust with the material and how widely you want the set to travel.
The two sharing paths at a glance
The direct link works like a “view-only” Google Doc URL. Your set stays private, meaning it will not appear in Discover for random users, but anyone holding the link can preview and copy it into their own library. This is the everyday method for department collaboration, grade-team planning, or sharing a set with a mentor teacher.
The public route is the opposite tradeoff. Your set becomes searchable inside Blooket for every teacher on the platform, and copies of it can spread further than you can track. It suits polished sets you actively want to contribute to the community, not draft material.
Which method fits which situation
For a shared assessment inside one school, use the direct link. It keeps control tight and lets you unshare quietly if the set changes.
For a resource you want to give to the wider teaching community, publish it publicly and let Discover do the distribution work.
For a one-off exchange with a colleague across town, the direct link is still faster than walking them through a public search.
How to share a set using the direct link method
The direct link method takes four clicks from the My Sets screen. You do not need to change any privacy settings if the set is already Public, and the link stays live as long as the set exists in your account. Recipients open the URL, preview every question, and press Copy to duplicate the set into their own library.
Follow this workflow to share a private-but-linkable set:
- Log into your account through the standard Blooket login page.
- Open the My Sets area of your dashboard.
- Find the question set you want to share in the list.
- Click the gear icon to the right of the set title, next to the trash icon.
- Select “Link” from the small menu that opens above the gear.
- Blooket copies the URL to your clipboard. Paste it into an email, an LMS post, a Slack DM, or a shared spreadsheet.
If the set was created on a phone or tablet, sign in from a laptop first. The gear-icon menu behaves more reliably on desktop, and the Link option can be easier to spot without pinch-zooming.
What the recipient sees after clicking
The link opens a preview page listing every question, answer choice, and image inside the set. Recipients cannot edit your master version. They must press the Copy button, which drops an editable duplicate into their own My Sets library.
That duplicate is fully independent. Any edits they make afterwards belong to their copy, and any changes you make to your master do not sync across.
When the Link button is missing
If the “Link” option does not appear inside the gear menu, the set is marked Private. Blooket hides the sharing URL for private sets to prevent accidental leaks.
The fix takes two clicks. Open the set for editing, find the privacy toggle in the set info panel, switch it from Private to Public, and save. Return to My Sets, click the gear icon again, and the Link option will be back.

How to make a Blooket set public and share it through Discover
Making a set public opens two doors at once. First, the sharing link becomes available inside the gear menu, so you can send it directly to specific teachers. Second, the set appears in Blooket’s Discover feed, where any user can find it by searching a topic, subject, or grade level. Public sets travel further, but you give up quiet control in exchange.
Use this workflow to switch a set to public:
- Open the set from your My Sets library.
- Click the pencil icon or the “Edit Info” button to open the set details panel.
- Locate the privacy setting near the set title.
- Switch the toggle from Private to Public.
- Save your changes and return to My Sets.
I only make sets public after they survive two rounds of student testing and a full proofread. A typo that reaches ten thousand classrooms is a slower embarrassment than one caught in your own fifth period.
When to keep sets private versus public
Keep a set private while it is in draft, when it contains any student names or class-specific references, or when it uses images you are not sure you have rights to distribute widely.
Make a set public when the content is generic enough to help teachers outside your school, when you have proofread it end to end, and when you would be comfortable seeing a stranger use it without any credit line.
What happens to copies if you switch back to private
Once another teacher copies your set, that copy belongs to them permanently. Switching your master back to Private hides your version from Discover and disables the direct link, but existing copies stay in every recipient’s library untouched.
This detail matters. Publishing a set publicly is close to a one-way door for the copies already made. Treat “Public” as a real publication, not a preview.
What are Solo Links and how do they help teacher-to-teacher sharing?
Solo Links generate a direct URL that drops students straight into a self-paced version of your set inside a chosen game mode, with no join code and no host screen in between. For teacher collaboration, they let a colleague experience the material exactly the way students will, not just read a static preview.
I share Solo Links alongside the standard set link whenever a colleague is picking material for a flipped-classroom lesson.
Follow this workflow to generate one:
- Open the set from My Sets or from a public listing you have copied.
- Choose the Solo option instead of Host.
- Pick a self-paced mode such as Café, Tower Defense, or Factory.
- Adjust the question count, timer, and any mode-specific settings.
- Generate the Solo Link and copy it from the host interface.
Send the Solo Link alongside a short description. Recipients open it, play a full round, and see how pacing and difficulty land in a real game before deciding to use the set in their own class.
Solo Links versus standard set links
The two link types solve different problems. A set link is best for review; a Solo Link is best for demonstration. Most teachers benefit from sending both.
| Feature | Standard set link | Solo Link |
|---|---|---|
| What opens | Set preview page | Live self-paced game |
| Recipient action | Reads and copies | Plays through |
| Editing | Copy first, then edit | Not applicable |
| Best for | Copying into a library | Testing the feel of the set |
| Requires public setting | Yes | No |
| Ideal audience | Teachers building resources | Teachers previewing before adoption |
Sending both takes two extra clicks. It also cuts the follow-up email chain by roughly half, because your colleague already knows how the set plays.
Collaboration workflows that actually work in a department
Sharing one link at a time works for small favours, but a department of six teachers producing sets weekly needs a system. The workflows below come from three years of trial and error inside a middle-school science team that now runs about forty shared sets per semester.
Pick whichever fits your team’s size and comfort level, and standardise on one before adding a second.
The shared library workflow
One teacher creates a shared Google Sheet, Notion page, or LMS folder labelled the “Department Blooket Library.” Every teacher who creates a quality set drops the direct link into the library along with five columns: set name, subject, grade level, question count, and a one-sentence description.
Everyone contributes, no one rebuilds the same photosynthesis set twice, and new hires get a full curriculum’s worth of review material on day one.
The base-and-branch workflow
One teacher builds a base set covering the core standards for a unit. That base link goes to the team. Each teacher copies it into their own library and adds three to five questions specific to their class, resources, or intervention groups.
At the end of the unit, the group meets, compares versions, and pulls the strongest additions into an upgraded master set for next year. The base grows with every cycle, and no single teacher owns the whole workload.
What context to send with every link
A raw URL creates work for the recipient. A short note turns the link into a decision they can make in ten seconds.
A useful sharing message names the topic, the difficulty, the question count, the classes it was tested with, and any known weak spots. For example: “Unit 3 photosynthesis review, thirty questions, medium difficulty, tested with three seventh-grade classes. Covers light-dependent reactions, the Calvin cycle, and chlorophyll function. I pulled two questions that confused students during testing.”
That level of context takes twenty seconds to write and saves the recipient a full preview pass.

Common mistakes teachers make when sharing sets
Most sharing problems come from four repeatable mistakes. Fixing them takes minutes and saves hours of downstream cleanup work with colleagues who received something half-baked.
Watch for each pattern before you send the next link.
Publishing half-finished work
Sending a draft set as a “quick share” almost always creates rework later. Colleagues copy the version they received, edit it inside their own libraries, and never pick up the fixes you made afterwards.
Keep sets private until they have survived one round of live play and one careful proofread. Then share.
Forgetting that copies are permanent
Once a teacher clicks Copy, that duplicate belongs to them regardless of what you do next. Switching your master to Private, editing it, or deleting it does nothing to the copies already in other libraries.
Treat the Copy button as a publication event. If a set has any material you might want to pull back, share it as a Solo Link demo first and hold the standard set link until you are sure.
Sharing without any context
A URL with no message forces the recipient to open the link, scan every question, and guess whether the set fits their class. That is a five-minute chore per link, and it is why most shared sets go unused.
Send the note with the link, every time. Topic, difficulty, question count, and known limits are enough.
Assuming mobile behaves like desktop
The gear-icon menu, the Link option, and the Solo Link generator all work more reliably on a laptop or desktop. If you are on a phone and the sharing button seems missing, do not assume the feature is gone. Open the set from a computer and try again.
Best practices for department-wide sharing
The habits below turn one-off shares into a repeatable system. None of them require a plugin, a paid tool, or an admin sign-off. They are naming conventions and small courtesies that compound quickly.
Adopt them as a team, not just as an individual.
Use a consistent naming convention
A set named “Unit 4 Review Final” is invisible three weeks later. Use a naming format that carries subject, unit, topic, and creator, such as “Bio – Unit 4 – Genetics Review – Ahmed.” Every set becomes searchable inside anyone’s My Sets library without opening it first.
Copy before editing
Never edit a set you received directly on the master link. Copy it into your own library first, then modify the copy. This keeps the original creator’s version intact for everyone else and avoids awkward “who changed question seven” conversations.
Add attribution when appropriate
If you rebuild a colleague’s set for a public share, add a short note inside the set description crediting the original creator. It costs nothing, it protects working relationships, and it makes future collaboration easier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Link option not appear when I click the gear icon on my set?
The set is marked Private, and Blooket hides the sharing URL for private sets. Open the set for editing, switch the privacy toggle from Private to Public, and save. Return to My Sets, click the gear icon, and the Link option will appear immediately in the small menu above the icon.
Can another teacher edit my shared Blooket question set directly?
No. Recipients open the shared link and see a read-only preview of every question and answer. To make changes, they must click the Copy button, which drops an editable duplicate into their own My Sets library. Your master version stays untouched no matter what they do with their copy.
How do I make my Blooket set discoverable to every teacher on the platform?
Open the set, click the pencil or Edit Info button, and switch the privacy setting from Private to Public. Save the change. The set will appear in Blooket’s Discover feed, where any user can search for it by topic, subject, or grade level and copy it into their own library without needing your link.
If I make a public set private again, do other teachers lose their copies?
No. Copies made while the set was public remain in every recipient’s library permanently. Switching back to Private removes your set from Discover and disables the direct link for new users, but existing duplicates stay in place. Treat any public release as a one-way decision for the copies already made.
What is the difference between a set link and a Solo Link?
A set link opens a static preview page where the recipient reads the questions and decides whether to copy the set. A Solo Link drops the user straight into a self-paced game round using your set, so they experience the material the same way students will. Set links are for building; Solo Links are for previewing.
Can I share a Blooket question set that I did not create?
You can only generate the direct link from the gear icon on sets you own. To recommend someone else’s public set, send the Discover URL you land on when you open it, or copy the set into your own library first and share your version. Give credit to the original creator inside the set description.
Is there a way to share several Blooket sets at once?
No built-in bulk-share tool exists inside Blooket. Each set must be linked individually from the gear icon. The workaround most departments use is a shared spreadsheet or LMS folder that lists every set with its link, subject, grade level, and description, so a colleague can pull twenty resources in one visit.
Do I need Blooket Plus to share question sets with another teacher?
No. The direct link method and the public Discover route are both available on free accounts. Blooket Plus is a paid subscription that adds extras like detailed reports and early access to new blooks, but standard set sharing does not require it.
Final thoughts
Sharing a Blooket question set with another teacher is a four-click flow once the privacy setting is right: My Sets, gear icon, Link, paste. If the Link option is missing, flip the set to Public inside Edit Info and try again. Send a Solo Link alongside the standard link when you want a colleague to feel the set, not just read it.
Build the department library, use one naming convention, and copy before you edit. The moment sharing stops being a favour and starts being a system, planning time drops and the quality of every set on the team goes up.
