Why start with questions you can check

A good host game starts with accurate questions, and writing them by hand from a long slide deck can take an evening. DeckOwl builds the question set from the material you upload, so you spend your time checking it instead of typing it.

Example review game questions for a classroom host

Should a host reveal the correct answer before every player has answered?No. Waiting until everyone has answered keeps the round fair and avoids giving late players the answer.

Why should wrong answer choices be plausible?Plausible distractors make players think about the concept instead of guessing, which gives the round more teaching value.

What should a host do when most players miss the same question?Pause and explain the answer, because a shared miss usually points to a concept the class has not yet understood.

Why check generated questions against the source before class?AI-generated questions can contain errors or misread a diagram, and a quick check against your notes catches them first.

What is a good way to end a review round?Go over the missed questions briefly, since reviewing the errors is where most of the learning happens after a game.

Generate the full set

Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or a photo of a page, and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions drawn from it.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation, so the host can correct a wrong guess on the spot and players learn from the round.

Export for your class

Paid plans export questions to PDF or DOCX, and the Pro plan adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning platforms your school already uses.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add the PDF, slides, document or photos you plan to review in class.

Generate and check questions

Choose question types and review the output against your source before the game.

Run the game where your class plays

Take the finished questions into your game platform or print them for a paper round.

Every question includes an explanation, which helps when a round ends with several players missing the same item. Check the set against your source first, then use the explanations to talk through the answers as a class.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good questions for a classroom review game?

Keep each question to one idea and make the wrong answers plausible so students have to think. Check every answer against your source before the class plays.

How long should a review game run?

Most hosts keep it to one class period or less so students stay focused. Shorter rounds leave time for a debrief on the questions most players missed.

Can DeckOwl run the game live for my class?

No. DeckOwl generates the questions and explanations, and you run the game on whatever platform your class uses.

Which export formats do I get, and what do they cost?

Exports are paid features. Plus includes PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, while the free plan gives you 3 generations per month and study in the browser.
