Why custom questions beat a ready-made set

Students searching for a knockback game usually want questions that match the unit they are studying, not a generic set written for someone else's class. Generic question banks often skip the terms your instructor emphasized, and that gap shows up when the round starts.

Mix multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations
Keep each set short enough to finish in one class period

Example knockback game review questions (cell biology)

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out cellular respiration, which releases energy from glucose to make ATP.

True or false: plant and animal cells both have a cell wall.False. Only plant cells have a cell wall, which is made mainly of cellulose.

Which structure controls what enters and leaves the cell?The cell membrane. It is a selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer that regulates transport.

What is the main function of ribosomes?Protein synthesis. They read messenger RNA and link amino acids into polypeptide chains.

Why does the nucleus matter during cell division?It holds the DNA, which is copied and divided so each daughter cell receives a full set of genetic instructions.

Questions from your material

Start from your own lecture slides, notes or textbook chapter so the questions match what your class actually covered.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so students learn why an answer is right or wrong between rounds.

Multiple formats in one set

Mix multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions to keep a review round varied and challenging.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a set sized for one class period.

Review and run the round

Check the questions and explanations, then use them for your knockback-style review with students.

Building your own set from the notes or slides you already have keeps the review focused. A short set of 15 to 25 questions from one chapter is usually easier to run in a single session than a long bank you have to sort through.

You can read the questions and explanations before the game starts, remove anything inaccurate, and add terms you want to revisit. Exports to PDF or DOCX are available on the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are on Pro.
