How to merge Blooket question sets is the organization hack that cleaned up my entire content library.
I had three different sets on the American Revolution scattered across my dashboard.
Each one covered different aspects, but using them separately was a pain.
Merging them into one comprehensive set changed everything.
Why Merge Question Sets
Here’s the scenario: you’ve got a 15-question set on photosynthesis and another 12-question set on cellular respiration.
You want one big unit review covering both topics.
Merging combines them instantly instead of copying questions one by one.
I merge sets constantly for:
- Unit reviews pulling from multiple smaller quizzes
- Comprehensive finals combining semester content
- Spiral reviews mixing old and new material
Finding the Merge Feature
Go to “My Sets” in your Blooket dashboard.
Click on the question set you want to merge INTO (this becomes your base).
Look for the three-dot menu or settings icon.
Select “Merge Sets” from the dropdown options.
Selecting Sets to Combine
A popup shows all your available question sets.
Check the boxes next to every set you want to merge into your base set.
You can select multiple sets at once—I’ve merged five sets in one go before.
Hit “Merge” or “Combine” to execute.
What Happens During Merge
Blooket takes all questions from the selected sets and adds them to your base set.
The original separate sets stay intact (they don’t get deleted).
Your base set now contains everything.
Takes about 10 seconds regardless of how many questions you’re combining.
Order of Merged Questions
Questions appear in the order you merged them.
Base set questions stay at the top.
Newly merged questions get added to the bottom.
If you merged three sets, they’ll stack in the order you selected them.
Reordering After Merge
The default order usually isn’t perfect.
Click and drag questions to rearrange them however you want.
I like to:
- Mix topics so students can’t predict patterns
- Alternate difficulty levels to keep engagement high
- Group related concepts for scaffolding

Removing Duplicate Questions
Sometimes merged sets have overlapping questions.
Blooket doesn’t auto-detect duplicates (annoying, I know).
Manually scan through and delete repeats.
I keep a checklist while merging to catch duplicates before they become a problem.
Merging vs. Copying Then Combining
You could manually copy questions from one set to another.
But why waste 20 minutes when merging does it in seconds?
The only time I manually copy is when I want just 2-3 specific questions, not entire sets.
Strategic Merging for Different Classes
I create base sets for different ability levels, then merge accordingly.
For advanced students: merge the hard sets.
For struggling students: merge easier foundational sets.
Same content, different difficulty tiers.
Merging Imported Content
This feature is clutch after importing questions from Quizlet or importing from spreadsheets.
Import your Quizlet vocabulary.
Import your spreadsheet application problems.
Merge them into one killer review set.
Preserving Original Sets
The original sets don’t disappear after merging.
They stay in your library untouched.
This means you can:
- Merge the same sets multiple times for different purposes
- Keep modular sets for quick mini-reviews
- Maintain flexibility in how you use content
Naming Your Merged Set
After merging, rename your set immediately.
Don’t leave it as “Photosynthesis Quiz (merged).”
Use something descriptive: “Unit 3 Complete Review – Cellular Processes – 45 Questions.”
Future you will appreciate the clarity.
Maximum Set Size Considerations
Technically you can merge sets into massive 200+ question behemoths.
But should you? Probably not.
I cap my sets at 50 questions max for playability.
Students lose focus after that, and games drag on forever.
Using Merged Sets for Differentiation
Create three versions of a merged set:
Version 1: Basic questions only (merge two easy sets).
Version 2: Mixed difficulty (merge one easy, one medium).
Version 3: Challenge mode (merge medium and hard sets).
Assign different versions based on student needs.
FAQ
Can I unmerge sets after combining them?
No, there’s no unmerge feature. But your original sets remain separate, so you’re not losing anything.
Is there a limit to how many sets I can merge at once?
No official limit, but merging 10+ sets at once gets unwieldy. I stick to 3-5 at a time.
Do merged sets take up extra storage?
Free accounts have unlimited question sets, so storage isn’t an issue.
Can I merge sets from other teachers?
Only sets in your “My Sets” library. Copy public sets first, then merge your copies.
