What can be imported

  • Kahoot spreadsheets (the Kahoot quiz template, with the correct answer number in its own column).
  • Gimkit spreadsheets (question, correct answer, incorrect answers).
  • Quizlet exports: in Quizlet choose Export, then paste the text. Each line becomes a term and its meaning.
  • Excel and CSV files with one question per row.
  • Tests from Word or Google Docs: numbered questions with A–D choices and an “Answer: B” line, pasted as text.

Paste instead of uploading

Under Or paste text you can paste a test or a word list directly and press Read the pasted text. This is the quickest way to bring in a test from a Word document.

TipOld .xls files can’t be read. In Excel, choose Save As and pick .xlsx or .csv first. Old .doc files can’t be read either: copy the text and paste it.

Export your list

The ⬇ CSV button downloads your current list as a spreadsheet, so you can keep a copy, edit it in Excel or import it into another game later.

Questions teachers ask

Frequently asked questions

Does importing send my file anywhere?

No. Files are read inside your browser and never uploaded.

My test has no answer key. Can I still import it?

Questions need an answer to be played. Add an “Answer:” line under each question, or use AI questions with the test as your material to write a quiz from it.

Can I import pictures from a Word test?

No, only the text is imported. Memory Match can use image links if your pictures are online.
