Lost your Gimkit join code? Practice the material before the game

Join codes come from the host of a live game, not from a study tool. DeckOwl helps you prepare for the round by turning your notes, slides or PDFs into quiz questions with explanations.

What a join code does and how DeckOwl fits in

Your teacher shows a short code on screen, and that gimkit join code connects your device to one live session. Only the host can issue it, and DeckOwl does not run live games or create codes, so it cannot give you one.

Ask your teacher or the game host to repeat the join code if the screen is hard to read.
Check each character before you submit, since one wrong letter will not connect you to the session.
Generate practice questions from the same material the game covers, so you review the right content.
Keep the code within your class, because anyone who has it can try to enter the session.

Example practice questions about join codes

Who issues the join code for a live classroom game?The host, usually the teacher, because only the host's session has that code and can share it with students.

Why does a student need a join code to enter a live game?The code connects the student's device to one specific session, so they land in the correct game.

True or false: a join code can be reused for any game the host runs later.False. A code identifies one live session, so a new game generally gets a new code.

What happens if you type a join code with one character wrong?You are not connected to the session, because the code must match exactly to find the game.

Should students share a join code with people outside the class?No. Anyone with the code can try to enter the session, so it should stay with the group the host intended.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation, so you learn why an answer is right instead of memorizing it.

Exports for teachers

Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course systems.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page from the chapter your class is reviewing.

Generate a practice quiz

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, and get questions with explanations in a few moments.

Study before the live game

Work through the questions in your browser so you are ready when your teacher shares the join code.

What it can do is help you prepare. Studying the same chapter before a review game makes the questions feel familiar, so you spend less time reading and more time answering when the timer starts.

Once you have a quiz you like, the free plan lets you study it in the browser. Paid plans add exports to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for teachers who manage their own question banks.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a Gimkit join code?

The host of the live game gives you the code, usually by showing it on a projector or posting it in the class. DeckOwl cannot provide or look up codes for games.

What should I do if my join code does not work?

Retype the code exactly as the host shows it and confirm you are using the latest session, since codes are tied to one game. If it still fails, ask the host to check that the game is open.

How can I study a topic before a live review game?

Practice with questions made from your own notes and explain each answer in your own words before you play. Repeating the questions a few times helps the facts stick.

Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, with no exports. No credit card is needed to start, and Plus costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month for unlimited generations and exports.
