Building an obby-style review from your own notes

A Gimkit obby round is only as useful as its questions. Obby-style games reward students who answer correctly to move forward, so the questions should match what was actually taught, not a generic bank. DeckOwl reads your own material and drafts multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions from it.

Pull questions straight from your lecture slides or chapter notes
Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer in one set
Read an explanation for every answer before it goes into a game
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a review round include?

Read each question against your notes and confirm the marked answer matches what your teacher covered. Use the explanation to decide whether to keep, edit or drop the question.

What files can I upload?

You can upload PDF, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text or notes, and images of pages, which are read with text recognition.

Is there a free option, and what do exports cost?

The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and browser study. Exports are paid features, starting with Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
