What a self-made review game needs

If you want to make your own game for class review, the hard part is usually writing good questions, not setting up the round. DeckOwl writes the questions from your own notes, so the game tests what you were actually taught.

Start from your own lecture slides or notes so questions match what was taught.
Include a mix of multiple-choice and true/false questions to keep rounds quick.
Read the explanation after every miss, then retry the question later in the set.
Check each generated question against your source before using it in class.

Example biology review questions for a game-style quiz

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out cellular respiration, which generates most of the cell's ATP.

True or false: DNA replication is semiconservative.True. Each new double helix keeps one original strand and one newly made strand, as shown by the Meselson-Stahl experiment.

In which phase of mitosis do sister chromatids separate?Anaphase. Spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids toward opposite poles of the cell.

What is the net ATP yield of glycolysis per glucose molecule?2 ATP. Glycolysis uses 2 ATP and produces 4, so the net gain is 2.

Which enzyme unwinds the DNA double helix during replication?Helicase. It breaks the hydrogen bonds between base pairs so the two strands can separate.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Questions come from the PDFs, slides, notes or page photos you upload, so the game covers your course rather than generic content.

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions

Mix question types in one set and check each answer against an explanation that says why it is right or wrong.

Flashcards and mind maps too

The same material can also become spaced-repetition flashcards or a mind map for the topics that need more practice.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Generate the questions

Choose question types and let DeckOwl write them with explanations. Edit anything that does not match your lesson.

Run the review

Study the set in the browser, or export it on a paid plan to bring into your own game or class tool.

DeckOwl creates quiz questions, not a live multiplayer game. Each question comes with an explanation, which helps when students answer wrong and need to know why. Once the set is ready, you can study it in the browser or export it on a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions work best for a classroom review game?

A focused set of about 10 to 20 questions covering one unit usually works well for a single round. Shorter sets keep the pace up and make it easier to review explanations afterward.

How do I study game questions without just memorizing the answers?

Pay attention to the explanation for each answer, not only the correct letter. Retry missed questions after a break so you have to recall the idea rather than recognize the answer.

Can I export the questions to another tool?

Export is a paid feature: Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Does DeckOwl run a live game like Gimkit?

No. DeckOwl generates quiz questions with explanations that you study in the browser or export on a paid plan. It does not host a live multiplayer game.
