Proven Step-by-Step: Share a Blooket Question Set With Another Teacher

You’ve built the perfect review set for tomorrow’s chemistry quiz. The questions are tight, the images are clear, and you’ve play-tested it with your toughest fourth-period class. Now the biology teacher across the hall wants a copy. How do you actually get it to them?

In my first year of using Blooket, I spent a frustrating 20 minutes clicking around the dashboard trying to find the share button, only to realize my set was private and the “Link” option was completely hidden. That’s the wall most teachers hit.

This article covers the exact steps to share a Blooket question set with another teacher, including the 2026 Solo Links feature, privacy setting fixes, and a collaboration workflow that my department now swears by. No fluff, no filler.

The Two Core Methods for Sharing a Blooket Question Set

Blooket gives you two paths to get your content into another teacher’s hands. Both are simple once you know where to look.

Method 1: The Direct Link (Private but Shareable)

This is the method I use for department collaboration. Your set stays private—meaning it won’t appear in Blooket’s Discover tab for random users—but anyone with the link can view and copy it.

Workflow:

  1. Log into your Blooket account and navigate to your My Sets dashboard.
  2. Locate the question set you want to share.
  3. Click or hover over the Gear/Cog icon to the right of the set (next to the trash icon).
  4. A small menu opens above the icon. Click the “Link” option.
  5. Blooket copies the shareable URL to your clipboard. Paste it into an email, Slack DM, LMS announcement, or wherever your team communicates.

The recipient can preview every question and answer but cannot edit your version. They’ll need to hit the Copy button to make their own editable duplicate—like sharing a Google Doc with “view only” permissions.

⚠️ Note: If the “Link” option doesn’t appear in that gear menu, your set is set to Private. Jump to the privacy settings section, switch your set to Public, and the Link button will return immediately.

Method 2: The Public Discover Route

Want your set to be found by teachers across the country? Make it public. Public sets appear in Blooket’s Discover tab and are searchable by topic, grade level, or keyword. Anyone can find, copy, and use your content without needing a direct link from you.

To make a set public:

  1. Open the set from your My Sets library.
  2. Click the pencil icon to edit the set, then click Edit Info, or look for a three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
  3. Change the privacy setting from Private to Public and save your changes.

I only make sets public after they’ve survived two rounds of student testing and a thorough proofread. Once a public set is copied by another teacher, they keep their copy—even if you later switch yours back to private.

2026 Game-Changer: The New Solo Links Feature

Blooket’s 2026 update introduced Solo Links—a feature that lets you generate a direct URL that drops students straight into a self-paced game mode like Tower Defense or Café with zero navigation required.

Workflow for teacher sharing:

  1. Select your set in My Sets or find a public one in Discover.
  2. Choose the Solo option and preview the available game modes.
  3. Pick your preferred mode and adjust settings (question count, timers, etc.).
  4. Generate the shareable Solo Link directly from the host interface.

The recipient clicks the link and starts playing instantly. This approach supports flipped classroom models where students preview material independently before a group discussion. For teacher collaboration, I share Solo Links alongside standard set links in our department’s shared spreadsheet.

Collaboration Workflows That Actually Work

One teacher in my building created a shared Google Sheet called the “Blooket Library.” Every teacher who creates a quality set drops the share link into the spreadsheet, along with the set name, subject, grade level, question count, and a one-sentence description.

Workflow:

  1. One teacher creates a base set covering core content and shares the link.
  2. Each teacher copies it into their own library and adds 3–5 questions specific to their class or resources.
  3. Reconvene and compare versions, pulling the best additions into one comprehensive master set.

Everyone contributes, and no one wastes time reinventing the wheel. Always note changes made when sharing modified versions to provide clarity to colleagues.

What to Include When Sharing a Set Link

Don’t just paste a URL. Give context. A good sharing message looks like this:

“Here’s my Unit 3 Photosynthesis review—30 questions, medium difficulty, tested successfully with three 7th-grade classes. Covers light-dependent reactions, Calvin cycle, and chlorophyll function. I removed two questions that confused students during testing.”

Best Practices for Department-Wide Sharing

  • Use a naming convention that makes sets findable, e.g., “Unit # – Topic – Creator Last Name – Year.”
  • Always copy before editing to create your own version.
  • Add attribution when appropriate to note original creators.

Common Mistakes That Waste Your Time

  • Publishing Half-Finished Work: Keep sets private until fully tested and proofread.
  • Forgetting That Copies Are Permanent: Once copied, other teachers retain their version permanently.
  • Sharing Without Explaining: Always include a brief description.
  • Assuming the Link Icon Works the Same on Mobile: Use a laptop or desktop if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why don’t I see the “Link” option when I click the gear icon?
A: Your question set is set to Private. Edit the set, switch to Public, and the Link button will appear immediately.

Q: Can another teacher edit my shared question set?
A: No. Recipients must click the Copy button to create their own editable version.

Q: How do I make my set discoverable to all Blooket users?
A: Change the privacy setting from Private to Public. Your set then appears in Discover, searchable by topic and keyword.

Q: If I make a set private again, do people lose their copies?
A: No. Copies remain permanently.

Q: What’s the difference between sharing a set link and sharing a Solo Link?
A: A set link sends a static preview; a Solo Link drops students directly into a self-paced game mode with one click.

Q: Can I share a set I didn’t create?
A: Only public sets’ URLs can be shared, but the gear icon with the Link option only appears on sets you own.

Q: Is there a bulk sharing option for multiple sets?
A: No. Each set must be shared individually using the gear icon method.

Your Next Step

Sharing a Blooket question set with another teacher takes under a minute once you know the flow: My Sets → Gear Icon → Link → Paste. Check privacy settings if the Link option is missing. Generate a 2026 Solo Link alongside your next set share to let colleagues experience your content exactly as students will.
