What “Create” actually produces
A question set is the reusable core of the platform. Write it once, and the same deck runs Gold Quest, Tower Defense solo, Factory live, or a homework deadline without re-touching a single question. That one-to-many relationship is the reason Blooket feels lighter than building bespoke activities — see what Blooket is, defined for the full picture. The builder itself lives behind the Create button on the main site.
Starting a set in 5 steps
- Open Create. The Create button takes you to the set creator page. Students signed in see it as “Set Creator” in the left column.
- Add a title and description. Use descriptive terms — grade level, topic, or unit — so future-you and other teachers can find it in search. “Gr7 Cells Unit 2” beats “Science stuff”.
- Optionally add a cover image. Upload a file, paste a URL, or browse Blooket's built-in gallery.
- Choose public or private. Public (the default) lets other users discover the set and lets you share its link. Private means only you can see it — and private sets can still host live games.
- Hit Create. You land on the Set Edit page, where questions get added.
The two question types
Blooket keeps question types deliberate rather than sprawling: every question is one of two kinds, and both can carry media.
| Type | How it works | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice | 2 to 4 answer options; at least one marked correct — tick more than one if the question calls for it | Review, recall, test-prep |
| Typing answer | Students type a response; matching is “is exactly” (strict) or “contains” (flexible) | Spelling, terminology, short answers |
Media support
Media support scales with tier: every user can add text, and questions can carry images or math equations. Audio clips are a Plus feature on questions. Multiple choice questions about spelling someone's name are the exact wrong use of this format — that's what typing questions are for.
The True/False trick most guides skip
There's no separate True/False question type. You build it inside the multiple choice editor: True in Answer 1, False in Answer 2, the other two slots blank. Then uncheck Random Order at the top of the editor. With random order off, True always sits on the left and False on the right — so option placement never gives away (or contradicts) the answer. The same Random Order toggle stays checked for ordinary multiple choice, where shuffled options prevent positional cheating.
Import 1: Quizlet (the fastest start)
If your material already lives in Quizlet, don't retype it. The official flow takes under two minutes:
- On the Create page (or the Set Edit page for an existing set), choose Quizlet Import.
- Pick Your Quizlet or Search Quizlet — a new tab opens and asks you to log into Quizlet if needed. Your exportable sets live in Your library → Flashcard sets.
- In Quizlet, click the three dots under the set name and choose Export. Public sets that aren't yours must first be copied via Make a copy.
- Keep the export settings at Tab between term and definition and New line between rows, uncheck Random Order for True/False content, then Copy text.
- Paste into Blooket. The left column becomes answers, the right column questions — use Flip questions and answers if they're swapped.
- Select Add Questions, then edit or hit Save Set.
Expect two Quizlet-side gotchas. Sets built with Quizlet Plus features often refuse to copy unless you also subscribe. And long text can look messy in the paste preview even though it imports correctly.
Import 2: Spreadsheet (CSV)
Bulk content comes in through a spreadsheet template — handy when a department shares question banks. Download Blooket's CSV template (or copy it into Google Sheets), fill your questions, and upload from the Set Creator page.
- Never edit the colored template cells — only the question, answer, and time-limit fields.
- The Correct Answer(s) column takes position numbers: if the right answer sits in column 2, enter
2. Two correct answers are comma-separated (1,3). - Add typing in column J to convert a question into a typing-answer question — imported answers become “is exactly” options.
Publishing and reuse
Save Set locks in your edits; nothing else ships on your side. From a saved set you can host immediately, assign it as homework with a deadline, or keep editing — the Set Edit page stays one click away. Sets you didn't build can be duplicated into your library and remixed (Copy & Duplicate), which is the fastest way to inherit someone else's good work. If your sets keep disappearing off your mental radar, our dashboard tour shows where My Sets, folders, and favorites live.
Frequently asked questions
Is Blooket Create free to use?
Yes — the full set builder is on the free plan. Writing multiple choice and typing questions, importing from Quizlet or a spreadsheet, and hosting games with your set all work without a subscription. Audio questions are the one builder feature tied to Blooket Plus.
How many questions should a Blooket set have?
More sets fail from being too short than too long. As a practical floor, aim for at least ten questions in live games so repeats cycle manageably. Also remember the homework goal mechanic: if the goal you assign is higher than the question count, players simply see questions again as extra review.
Can I import questions from Quizlet?
Yes — that's the fastest start. In Quizlet, open your set, use the three-dot Export menu, keep Tab and New line as separators, copy the text, and paste it into Blooket's Quizlet Import box. Sets in someone else's library need a copy made first, and Plus-locked sets may refuse to copy.
What's the difference between 'is exactly' and 'contains' in typing questions?
'Is exactly' demands a perfect match — spacing, punctuation, wording. 'Contains' accepts any answer that includes your phrase, which suits vocabulary where students might phrase things differently. Use exact matching for spelling and terminology, contains for open phrasing.
How do I make a True/False question in Blooket?
Use the multiple choice editor and put True in the first answer slot and False in the second, leaving the other slots blank. Then uncheck Random Order above the editor — that keeps True on the left and False on the right, so the answer isn't spoiled by positioning.
Can my set stay private?
Yes. New sets default to public so others can discover them, but the privacy toggle at creation makes the set private — visible only to you. Private sets still host live games and can be assigned as homework; the setting can be flipped later on the edit page.
