No Gimkit game code needed: quiz yourself from your own notes
DeckOwl doesn't run live games or issue join codes. It builds multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions from the material you already have, with explanations for every answer.
Practicing without the live game code
Waiting on a Gimkit game code from a teacher can stall a study session before it begins. DeckOwl doesn't host live games or join codes, but it can build a practice quiz from the same notes or slides your class is reviewing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I study for a live review game in class?
Start by writing down the key terms and definitions from the lesson, then quiz yourself on them without looking at your notes. Repeat the questions you missed until you can answer each one from memory.
How many practice questions should I make from one chapter?
Twenty to thirty questions per chapter is a practical range for a focused session. Mixing multiple-choice and short answer questions helps you check both recognition and recall.
Can I export my quiz?
Exporting to PDF, DOCX and Anki is available on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Is DeckOwl free to start?
Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to begin. Plus is $99.90/year or $9.99/month and Pro is $14.99/month.
