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
Example game theory questions for a review game
In the prisoner's dilemma, why does mutual defection end up as the Nash equilibrium?Each player's best response to the other's choice is to defect, so neither gains by switching alone.
What defines a zero-sum game?The players' payoffs add up to zero in every outcome, so one player's gain is exactly the other's loss.
What is a dominant strategy?It is a strategy that gives a higher payoff than any alternative no matter what the opponent does, so a player with one should always choose it.
Which method solves a sequential game by working from the final decisions back to the start?Backward induction, because it assumes each later player acts optimally and then picks the best earlier move.
What does a mixed strategy mean?Randomizing over two or more pure strategies with set probabilities, which can be the only equilibrium when no pure strategy is stable.

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.
