How to copy a public question set in Blooket is the skill that changed everything for me. I used to use other teachers’ sets as-is, even when half the questions didn’t fit my teaching style.
Then I learned I could copy and customize them. Game changer.
Why Copy Instead of Just Using
Here’s the thing: public sets are awesome, but they’re never perfect for your exact class.
Maybe the difficulty is off.
Maybe you want to add a question about yesterday’s lesson.
Copying gives you full control to edit without messing up the original.
Finding Sets Worth Copying
Go to the Discover tab and search for your topic.
Look for sets with high play counts and good reviews.
Those are your goldmine sets—proven content that just needs your personal touch.

The Copy Button Location
Once you’ve opened a question set, look for the “Copy” button.
It’s usually near the top right, next to the “Host” button.
Can’t miss it.
Clicking Copy: What Actually Happens
Hit that Copy button.
Blooket creates an exact duplicate in your “My Sets” library.
The original stays with the creator. You now have your own version to demolish and rebuild however you want.
Editing Your Copied Set
Click into “My Sets” and find your newly copied question set.
Now you can:
- Delete questions that don’t fit your curriculum
- Add new questions specific to your lessons
- Change answer options to match your teaching
- Adjust point values for harder questions
I always edit at least three or four questions to make it feel more “mine.”
Renaming Your Copied Set
The copied set keeps the original name plus “(Copy)” at the end.
Change it immediately so you remember it’s yours.
I use naming conventions like “Unit 3 – Photosynthesis – Smith Class 2025.”
Makes it way easier to find later.
When to Copy vs. Favorite
Copy sets you plan to customize.
Favorite sets you’ll use exactly as they are.
I copy about 70% of what I use and favorite the rest.

Copying Multiple Sets at Once
Bad news: you can’t bulk copy.
You have to copy each set individually.
Takes an extra few minutes, but it’s worth it for the customization power.
Merging Copied Sets
Here’s a pro move: copy two related sets, then merge them.
I copied a set on “adding fractions” and another on “subtracting fractions,” then combined them into one mega review.

Giving Credit to Original Creators
This isn’t required, but it’s good practice.
I add a note in my set description like “Based on [Creator Name]’s original set.”
Teachers appreciate the recognition, and it helps you remember where good content came from.
What You Can’t Copy
You can only copy public sets.
Private sets won’t have a Copy button visible.
If a teacher hasn’t made their set public, you’re out of luck.
Copyright and Fair Use
Blooket’s whole model is built on sharing and remixing.
When someone makes a set public, they’re giving implicit permission to copy and customize.
Still, don’t copy a set and then sell it or claim you created it from scratch. That’s weak.
Keeping Copied Sets Updated
The original set might get updated by the creator.
Your copy won’t automatically update.
If you find out the original has been improved, just copy it again and merge the best parts.
Building Your Library
After a semester of copying and customizing, you’ll have an amazing personal library.
I’ve got like sixty customized sets now that are perfectly tailored to my students.
Way better than starting from scratch every time.
