The “Copy” button is the single biggest time-saver in Blooket. A recent analysis of teacher workflows found that copying and customizing sets rather than building from scratch can cut content creation time by up to 60%. You find a public set that’s 80% perfect and need to tweak the rest for your class. Or you want an exact backup before making major edits. In this guide, I’ll walk you through four reliable methods to duplicate questions in a Blooket set, covering both free and Blooket Plus workflows. I’ll also share troubleshooting fixes, organizational strategies, and answers to the most common questions.
What Does It Mean to “Duplicate Questions in a Blooket Set”?
Duplicating a Blooket question set means creating a new, independent copy of an entire set—including all questions, answers, images, time limits, and point values. This copy lives in your “My Sets” library, where you can edit, rename, or delete it without altering the original. Whether you’re adapting a single set for differentiated instruction or combining content from multiple sets, duplication gives you complete editorial control.
The Complete Guide to Duplicating Blooket Questions
Method 1: Copy Your Own Set (Free for All Users)
The simplest workflow starts with sets you’ve already created.
- Go to “My Sets” on your Blooket dashboard.
- Locate the set you want to duplicate and click to open it.
- Click the three-dot menu (or gear icon) in the top-right corner. Select “Copy” or “Duplicate” from the dropdown.
- Confirm by selecting “Yes” when prompted.
- Blooket instantly creates an exact copy with “(Copy)” appended to the name.
Expert Tip: Immediately rename your copy using a consistent naming convention like “Unit 4 Quiz – Period 2 Modified” or “Fractions Review – Honors Version.” A clear naming structure prevents confusion when you have a dozen similar-looking sets.
Method 2: Copy a Public Set (Blooket Plus Only)
Public sets made by other educators are a goldmine—but copying them requires Blooket Plus.
- Navigate to the “Discover” tab and find the set you want.
- Open the set and look for the “Copy” or “Make a Copy” button near the top right, next to “Host.”
- Click “Make a Copy”—Blooket creates an exact duplicate in your “My Sets” library.
- The set opens automatically for you to edit and customize.
Key Insight: According to Blooket’s official Plus feature page, copying public sets also unlocks access to verified expert-curated content—giving you high-quality material that’s already aligned with curriculum standards.
Method 3: Copy via Merging (Blooket Plus)
Merging is a powerful technique when you want to combine or duplicate content between sets.
- Navigate to “My Sets” and click the settings icon on the first set.
- Select “Merge” from the dropdown.
- Choose the second set you want to merge into the first. Blooket copies all questions from the second set into the first set.
- Confirm by clicking “Yes” to start the merge.
Power Workflow: If you want to keep your original set intact, copy the set before merging. Merging is a destructive edit—it modifies the base set permanently. Always duplicate first if you need a backup.
Method 4: Import from Quizlet and Then Duplicate
Many of my own best Blooket sets started as Quizlet imports.
- Click “Create” in Blooket and select “Import.”
- Choose “Import from Quizlet” as your creation method.
- Paste the full Quizlet URL (e.g., quizlet.com/12345678/biology-terms).
- Blooket pulls in the term-definition pairs. Review the auto-generated wrong answers and adjust the question text.
- Once the set is in your library, use Method 1 to duplicate it as many times as you need.
Important: After importing, always check the auto-generated distractors. I’ve found that Blooket occasionally creates wrong answers that are technically correct—especially with vocabulary terms that have overlapping definitions. Spend five minutes reviewing; it makes a huge difference in game quality.

Practical Examples and Expert Editing Tips
Here’s how I personally use these duplication techniques in my teaching practice. These scenarios have saved me countless hours and improved learning outcomes across multiple subjects.
Scenario A: Differentiated Instruction for Multiple Periods
I teach five periods of the same biology course, each with different ability levels. My workflow:
- Create a comprehensive “Unit 3 – Photosynthesis Master” set (50 questions).
- Duplicate it five times using Method 1.
- Name each copy: “Photosynthesis – Period 2 (Honors),” “Photosynthesis – Period 4 (ELL),” etc.
- Edit each copy: Period 2 gets extra challenge questions; Period 4 gets simplified vocabulary and additional images.
Before I found the duplicate feature, I would edit my original set and then realize I had ruined the version I needed for a different class. Copying eliminates that mistake entirely.
Scenario B: Creating a “Greatest Hits” Review Set
At the end of a unit, I merge the best questions from multiple sets:
- Copy Set A (topic 1) and Set B (topic 2).
- Open the copy of Set A and select “Merge”.
- Choose the copy of Set B as the second set.
- Rename the merged result “Unit 3 – Comprehensive Review.”
I’ve used this technique to build 50-question cumulative reviews from five smaller topic sets. Students love the variety, and I avoid the tedious work of retyping questions.
Scenario C: A/B Testing Question Order
A teacher hack I swear by: test different question progressions to see which improves learning.
- Duplicate a 30-question set twice—name one “Copy A (Hard Start)” and the other “Copy B (Easy Start).”
- In Copy A, front-load the hardest questions. In Copy B, ease in with simpler concepts.
- Run the activity with two different classes and compare the game analytics.
I tried this with a polynomial factoring unit and found that students who started with easier problems performed significantly better on the end-of-unit assessment.
Expert Editing Tips After Duplicating
Once you have your copy, try these practical edits:
- Delete questions for shorter game modes: A 40-question set can be overwhelming for Tower Defense. I often cut it down to 20 questions for that mode.
- Adjust time limits: For ELL students, I increase the per-question time to reduce pressure.
- Add images: Drag and drop diagrams or photos into questions to boost engagement.
- Rewrite questions: Change vocabulary terms into full-sentence questions. Instead of “Mitochondria,” use “What is the powerhouse of the cell?” It makes the game much more interactive.
- Check wrong answers: If you imported from Quizlet, manually review every auto-generated distractor.
Common Mistakes to Avoid (and How to Fix Them)
Even experienced Blooket users hit snags. Here’s how to sidestep the most frequent issues.
| Mistake | What Happens | The Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Not Renaming the Copy | You end up with 12 sets all labeled “…(Copy)” and waste time hunting for the right one. | Rename immediately using a consistent format. I use “Topic – Period – Year.” |
| Assuming Copy = Backup Automatically | You edit the copy, then realize you overwrote the changes. | Use the merge feature to combine versions or label one “Archive – 2025.” |
| Copying Without Checking Privacy Settings | Your copy inherits the original’s public/private setting. A private copy you meant to share stays hidden. | Manually adjust the privacy setting after copying. |
| Believing the “Duplicate Not Working” Myth | You think the site is broken, but the Copy button is simply missing because of your account tier. | Understand the feature difference: Copying public sets is a Plus feature, while copying your own sets is free. |
| Ignoring Auto-Generated Distractors | Quizlet imports or merged sets may have wrong answers that are technically correct, confusing students. | Always spend 5–10 minutes reviewing answer choices after any import or merge. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I duplicate questions in a Blooket set for free?
Yes—copying your own sets is free using the “Copy” button in “My Sets.” Copying public sets created by other teachers, however, is a Blooket Plus feature.
Q: What’s the difference between “Copy” and “Duplicate” in Blooket?
They mean the exact same thing. The official help docs use “Copy” and “Make a Copy,” while the community often says “Duplicate.” All three create an identical copy of your set.
Q: Can I copy just one question from a set, not the whole thing?
Not directly. Blooket’s copy feature duplicates the entire set. To get individual questions, create a new set and manually copy-paste the text, or use the Question Bank (Plus feature).
Q: My “Copy” button is missing on a public set—why?
Copying public sets requires Blooket Plus. If you see no “Copy” or “Make a Copy” button on a Discover set, that’s the reason. You can still copy your own sets for free.
Q: Can I merge two sets without losing the originals?
Absolutely. Copy both sets first, then merge the copies. Direct merging modifies the base set, so working with duplicates saves your originals and prevents permanent loss.
Q: How do I organize all my duplicate sets so I don’t get lost?
Use folders (Plus feature) and stick to a naming convention. I create folders like “Active Sets – Current Year” and “Archives – Previous Years”, plus always rename copies immediately.
Q: Will my copy automatically update if the original creator changes their set?
No. Your copy is independent. If the original creator updates their set, you’ll need to manually re-copy the new version or edit your own copy to match.
