Study for a Gimkit game with quizzes built from your own notes
DeckOwl doesn't host live games or issue join codes. It turns your PDFs, slides and notes into multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations, so you can review before your class game starts.
What DeckOwl can and can't do for a Gimkit game
Students who search for a Gimkit join game usually want to take part in a live review with classmates, and DeckOwl does not host that. It has no live lobby, no join code and no connection to Gimkit.
- DeckOwl does not host live games or provide join codes.
- Questions are generated from your own PDFs, slides, notes or photographed pages.
- Every question includes an explanation of the correct answer.
- Free plan: 3 generations a month, study in the browser, no exports.
Questions from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page, and get practice questions drawn from what your teacher actually covered.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question includes an explanation, so you learn why an answer is right, not just which letter to pick.
Study in the browser
The free plan gives you 3 generations a month with browser study. Paid plans add spaced repetition and file exports.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add the slides, PDF or notes your class game will cover. No credit card is needed to start.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a quiz from your own material.
Review and repeat
Work through the questions, read the explanations, and come back to the ones you missed before the game.
What it does provide is a way to prepare. Upload the material your teacher covered and DeckOwl generates multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations, so you arrive at the review game already knowing the content.
Quizzes made this way work well alongside a Kahoot-style review. Study the questions alone first, then play the live game with your class.

Frequently asked questions
How do I study for a live biology review game?
Start with the cell structure topics your teacher listed and quiz yourself on each organelle's function. Repeat the questions you miss until you can explain the answer in your own words.
How many practice questions should I work through before a review game?
Aim for enough questions to cover every topic on the review list, then go back over the ones you got wrong. Spacing out short sessions usually works better than one long cram.
Can DeckOwl join me to a Gimkit game?
No. DeckOwl does not host live games, provide join codes or connect to Gimkit, so you will still need your teacher's game code for the live session.
Which export formats are included in paid plans?
Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export along with unlimited generations. Pro ($14.99/month) adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
