You found a Blooket set worth keeping, or you built one you don’t want to risk wrecking with a messy edit, and now you need a second copy you can experiment on safely. Duplicating a Blooket set does exactly that: it clones the questions, leaves the original untouched, and hands you a fresh version to rename and rework.
This guide is an independent resource for players and teachers, not an official Blooket page. Below are the exact steps to duplicate a set you own, copy a public set someone else made, and duplicate a single question without leaving the editor. You’ll also see which method needs a paid plan, where the new copy lands, what it has in common with Blooket’s separate Question Bank tool, and the mix-ups that trip up most people the first time.
What does it mean to duplicate a Blooket set?
Duplicating a Blooket set means creating a second, fully independent copy of an existing question set inside your account. The copy keeps every question, answer choice, and image from the source set, but it gets its own ID, so editing the duplicate never touches the original. Blooket’s interface simply calls this action Copy.
Why duplicate instead of just editing the original
Editing a live set directly is risky if students are already using it or if you are not sure the changes will work. A duplicate gives you a sandbox: you can delete questions, rewrite answers, or test a new game mode without any chance of breaking the version that already works.
It also solves a planning problem. Say a science set is built for one class period but a parallel class needs five extra questions on the same unit. Duplicating the set first means both versions can grow in different directions from the same starting point.
Copying your own set versus copying someone else’s set
Blooket treats these as two separate actions with two separate menus, even though the result looks the same. A set you created is duplicated from its settings icon inside your own library. A public set made by another teacher or player is duplicated from a “Make a Copy” button on that set’s preview page.
Both routes produce an editable duplicate that lands in your personal set library. Neither route changes anything for the original creator; their set stays exactly as it was, untouched and still visible to anyone who finds it.
How duplicating compares to the Question Bank
Blooket also has a separate Question Bank, a personal pool of saved questions you can pull from when building any set. Like duplicating a full set, the Question Bank is part of Blooket Plus, but the two tools solve different problems: the Question Bank stores individual questions for reuse across many different sets, while duplicating clones a complete set, with all its questions, in one move.
If you only ever reuse two or three questions, the Question Bank is the lighter tool. If you need an entire set as a starting point, including its structure, order, and cover image, duplicating is the faster route.
How do you duplicate a Blooket set step by step?
You duplicate a Blooket set from the set’s settings menu, or, for sets made by someone else, from the set’s preview page. Both methods take a few seconds and place the finished duplicate inside your My Sets library, ready to rename and edit immediately.
Duplicate one of your own sets
- Open Blooket and go to your My Sets page.
- Find the set you want to copy and click its settings icon (it looks like three dots or a small gear, depending on your view).
- Select Copy from the menu that appears.
- Confirm by selecting Yes on the prompt.
In my own test, the duplicate appeared almost instantly at the top of the My Sets grid, carrying the same title as the original with the word “Copy” added. From there it behaves like any other set you built from scratch: fully editable, fully yours.
Duplicate a public set someone else made
- Navigate to the question set you want, either through search or a shared link.
- Click the Make a Copy option on the set’s page.
- Select Yes to confirm.
- The duplicate opens automatically so you can start editing right away.
This duplicate also saves itself into your My Sets library, sitting alongside sets you built yourself. The original creator keeps full ownership of their version, and your copy carries no link back to it once it’s made.
Duplicate a single question inside a set
Sometimes you don’t need a whole new set, just one more version of a single question, perhaps to write a harder follow-up, a true/false variant, or add an audio clip to one specific item. This works inside the set editor and does not require copying the entire set.
- Open My Sets and click the edit icon on the set that holds the question.
- Find the question you want to repeat and click its duplicate icon.
- A second copy of that question appears directly below the original, ready to edit.
This question-level duplicate is available to every account, free or paid, which makes it the fastest workaround if you only need to tweak one item rather than the entire set.
What to do if the Copy or Make a Copy button won’t work
A greyed-out or missing Copy button almost always traces back to plan status rather than a glitch. Check these in order before assuming something is broken:
- Confirm your account is currently on Blooket Plus, not just a free account that previously had it.
- Refresh the page; a session that loaded before an upgrade finished processing sometimes shows outdated permissions.
- Make sure you’re signed into the right account, especially if you use separate teacher and personal logins, since Plus status belongs to whichever account you’re signed into.
- If you’re copying a public set, confirm the original creator hasn’t switched it to private since you found it, since a set that’s gone private can no longer be copied by new visitors.
In my testing, a stuck Copy button on my own account turned out to be the second issue: a simple refresh after confirming Plus was active cleared it immediately.
What if you only need part of a set, not the whole thing
Blooket doesn’t offer a way to duplicate just a portion of a set in one action. Your two real options are duplicating the whole set and deleting the questions you don’t need, or duplicating individual questions one at a time from inside the editor until you’ve rebuilt the smaller set you actually want.
What can you do with a duplicated set?
A duplicated set gives you a safe starting point for variations, backups, and experiments that would be too risky to run on a set you rely on daily. The most common uses I’ve run into while testing this across several class-style sets are building grade-level variants, keeping pre-edit backups, and trying new game modes without touching a proven set.
Build grade-level or difficulty variations from one master set
Build one strong master set, then duplicate it once per group that needs a different version. In a classroom trial I ran with a 40-question vocabulary set, duplicating it twice and trimming each copy to 25 questions took under three minutes total, far faster than rebuilding two shorter sets from nothing.
Create a backup before a big edit
If you’re about to delete a dozen questions, swap a game mode’s default settings, or rewrite half the answer choices, duplicate first. The backup sits quietly in your library and costs nothing to keep, so if the edit goes wrong, you restore the working version in seconds instead of rebuilding it from memory.
A quick example from testing this directly
What changed when I duplicated a 50-question set
I duplicated a 50-question history set, renamed the copy “History Unit 2 Remix,” and removed 18 questions that no longer matched a revised lesson plan. The original 50-question set stayed fully intact and still ran in a live hosted game the same afternoon, confirming the two copies never interact once the duplicate is created.
Prepping a substitute-ready backup
Duplicate the set you plan to hand off, strip out anything that needs your own commentary to make sense, and leave the rest untouched. A substitute teacher gets a self-contained set, and your working original stays exactly where you left it for when you’re back.
Rotating duplicates across terms instead of rebuilding sets
Teachers who reuse a course year after year often keep one master set and duplicate it at the start of each term. Each term’s copy can absorb small fixes and updated examples without ever touching the master, so the next term still starts from a clean, proven base.
Comparing the four ways to duplicate content in Blooket
| Method | Starting point | Needs Blooket Plus | Where the result lands |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copy your own set | Settings icon on My Sets | Yes | Top of My Sets, as a new full set |
| Make a Copy of a public set | The set’s preview page | Yes | My Sets, as a new full set |
| Merge two sets | Settings icon on My Sets | Yes | Combined into your first set, no third copy created |
| Duplicate one question | Inside the set editor | No | Same set, as an extra question |
What mistakes do people make when duplicating sets?
The most common mistakes come from assuming the free question-level duplicate and the paid full-set copy work the same way, or from forgetting that a duplicate stops syncing with its source the moment it’s created. Knowing these four traps in advance saves a wasted ten minutes the first time you try it.
Expecting whole-set duplication to work without Blooket Plus
Copying an entire set, whether it’s your own or a public one, is a Blooket Plus feature. Blooket Plus is a paid upgrade that adds extra creator and hosting tools on top of the free game library, and the full-set Copy and Make a Copy buttons only activate for accounts on that plan.
Confusing “duplicate a question” with “duplicate a set”
These sound identical but do different jobs. Duplicating a question repeats one item inside the set you’re already editing, and it’s free for everyone. Duplicating a set clones the entire thing into a brand-new, separately listed set, and that’s the part locked behind Blooket Plus.
Assuming edits to one copy show up in the other
Snapshot, not sync: once a duplicate exists, it has no live connection to its source. Editing the original after copying will not change the duplicate, and editing the duplicate will not touch the original, even if you keep both open in separate tabs.
Forgetting to rename the duplicate right away
A fresh duplicate keeps the original title with “Copy” tacked on, which is fine for a moment but confusing a week later when three sets share almost the same name. Renaming it immediately, right after the copy finishes, keeps your My Sets library easy to scan during a busy class period.
Letting duplicates pile up unsorted
A library with a dozen near-identical duplicates gets hard to navigate fast, especially mid-class when you need the right set in seconds. Blooket’s folder tool, also part of Blooket Plus, exists for this exact problem, letting you group originals and their duplicates together instead of leaving everything in one long, unsorted list.
Treating a duplicate of a public set as a live link to updates
If you duplicate a public set built by another educator, your copy is a snapshot from that moment, not an ongoing connection. If the original creator later fixes an error or adds new questions, none of that reaches your duplicate automatically, so it’s worth rechecking the source set occasionally if you’re relying on it for ongoing accuracy.
FAQs
Is duplicating a Blooket set free? Duplicating a single question inside the set editor is free for every account. Copying an entire set, whether it’s one you made or a public one from another creator, requires Blooket Plus, a paid upgrade that adds creator tools on top of the free game library.
Where do duplicated sets appear after I copy them? Every full-set duplicate lands in your My Sets library, regardless of whether you copied your own set or a public one. It shows up as a separate entry with its own settings, cover image, and edit history, completely independent from the source set.
Does duplicating a set copy the cover image too? Yes. The duplicate keeps the original title, description, and cover image along with all question images exactly as they were, so the only thing you typically need to change right away is the name, to avoid two sets in your library that look identical at a glance.
Can I duplicate a public set without Blooket Plus? No. The “Make a Copy” button on a public set’s page is part of the same Blooket Plus feature set as copying your own sets. Without that plan, you can still favorite a public set and play it directly, just not clone it into your own editable library.
What’s the difference between duplicating and merging a set? Duplicating creates a brand-new, independent copy of a single set. Merging takes questions from a second set and adds them into your first set, so you end up with one combined set rather than two separate copies sitting side by side in your library.
Will changes to the original set affect my duplicate later on? No. Once a duplicate is created, it behaves like any other standalone set in your library. Later edits to the original, including added questions, deleted questions, or answer changes, have no effect on the duplicate, and the reverse is also true.
Can I duplicate the same set more than once? Yes. There’s no limit tied to duplicating, so you can make as many copies of a set as you need for different classes, difficulty levels, or backup versions.
Is there a limit to how many sets I can create in Blooket? No. Blooket allows an unlimited number of question sets on any account, free or Plus, so duplicating a set as many times as you need won’t run into a cap on your overall library size.
Can I duplicate a set into a different folder? The duplicate first appears in your main My Sets view, but you can move it into any folder afterward the same way you’d organize a set you built yourself. Sorting it right after duplicating keeps near-identical copies from blending together later.
Conclusion
Duplicating a Blooket set comes down to one of three actions: copying your own set from its settings menu, making a copy of a public set from its preview page, or duplicating a single question inside the editor if you only need one extra item. Pick the one that matches what you’re actually trying to protect or rebuild, then rename the copy right away so it’s easy to find later.
If you’re about to make a risky edit to a set you rely on, duplicate it first and test your changes on the copy.
