Turn your own notes into a free quiz game for review
Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations. The free plan includes 3 generations a month and needs no credit card.
Building a quiz game from the material you studied
Review day works best when the questions come from the material you actually studied, so a free quiz game built from your own slides or notes beats a generic question bank. Upload the file and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations you can check against the source.
- Questions drawn from your own PDFs, slides, notes or page photos
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer, each with an explanation
- Free plan: 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
- Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Questions from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and get questions drawn from that content.
Three question types
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer, each with an explanation of the correct answer.
Export when you need it
The free plan studies in the browser. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or photo of a page.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, and generate a set from your own content.
Run the review
Read the questions aloud in class or work through them alone as a timed self-test in the browser.
The game format is up to you: read questions aloud to a class, split a room into teams, or work through the set alone as a self-test. Free accounts get 3 generations a month and study in the browser, so you can test the idea before you decide whether exports are worth paying for.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a review game include?
Around 10 to 20 questions usually fits in one class period with room for discussion. Shorter sets also make it easier to repeat the round later in the term.
How should I phrase game theory questions for review?
Ask for one definition or one outcome per question, such as what a dominant strategy is. Use plausible wrong answers, like a near-miss concept, so students have to reason rather than guess.
Can I run this as a Kahoot-style game for free?
DeckOwl does not include a live game mode, so you run the round yourself with the questions. The free plan gives you 3 generations a month, and exports are paid features.
Is the free plan enough for a class review?
The free plan includes 3 generations a month, which covers a few review sets. Plus removes the monthly limit and adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
