Turn your class notes into a quiz game you can study with
DeckOwl doesn't run live game rooms or join codes. It builds flashcards and quizzes from the material you already have, with an explanation for every quiz answer.
Playing a quiz game with your own material
Most people searching for a join game link want to play a quiz with a class right now, which depends on a live host you may not have. DeckOwl does not run live game rooms. What it does is turn your own lecture slides and notes into a question set you can drill on your own schedule.

Quizzes with explanations
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
Spaced repetition
Cards come back at the intervals you need, so your review time goes to the material you forget.

Study in the browser
The free plan includes 3 generations a month. Plus adds exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV.
Each quiz question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the correct one holds. Flashcards use spaced repetition to bring back the terms you miss most, which usually helps more than replaying the same game.
The free account starts without a credit card and includes three generations a month. Plus removes that limit and adds exports to Anki and CSV so you can study in other tools.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a cell biology unit?
Aim for one card per term or process, which usually means 40 to 80 for a single unit. Split long lists into smaller decks so each session stays short.
How do I study cell organelles effectively?
Quiz yourself on function first, then location, and test with blank recall instead of rereading. Spacing the review over several days builds memory that lasts.
Does DeckOwl host live games with join codes?
No. DeckOwl generates flashcards, quizzes and mind maps for studying in the browser, and it does not run live game rooms.
Are exports included in the free plan?
No. The free plan is for studying in the browser. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are on Plus, which costs $39 a year or $7.99 a month.
