How a Gimkit QR code game fits with your notes

Teachers searching for a Gimkit QR code usually want students to join a live game from their phones without typing a long code. The QR code is only the entry point. The quality of the game depends on the questions, so start with the material you already teach.

Make questions from your own lecture notes, not generic lists.
Check every explanation before students see the game.
Keep a printed QR code large enough to scan from across the room.
Use the free plan to test a set of questions before you upgrade.

Example QR code study questions

What do the three large squares in the corners of most QR codes help a scanner do?They locate the code and show its orientation, so it can be read from any angle.

Which QR error correction level can restore up to about 30 percent of damaged data?Level H, because it adds the most redundancy, so it still scans when part of the code is covered by a logo.

What is the quiet zone around a QR code?A blank margin of at least four modules, which helps scanners separate the code from nearby content.

Can a QR code hold data other than a web link?Yes, it can hold plain text, contact details or Wi-Fi login information, because the data is simply encoded in the pattern.

How does a dynamic QR code differ from a static one?A dynamic code points to a redirect that can be changed later, while a static code stores its data permanently in the pattern.

Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes the correct answer and a short reason, so you can check what students are learning before the game starts.

Export when you need it

Save as PDF or DOCX on Plus. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports for learning platforms.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add the slides, handout or study guide your class is covering for the QR code game.

Generate and review

Pick the question types you want, then check each question and explanation against your course material.

Run the game in your quiz tool

Use the questions in Gimkit or another tool, and use Gimkit's own join screen to create the QR code for students.

DeckOwl helps with that first step. It reads your notes and produces quiz questions with explanations, which you can review and edit before the class plays. Keep the questions tied to what you taught, and students will get more out of the game and the review afterward.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a QR code that is easy for students to scan?

Print it large, leave a blank border around it, and test it with a phone from the back of the room before class. Avoid placing it over busy images or patterns.

Which QR error correction level should I choose for a printed code?

Level H tolerates the most smudging or a logo over the center, while level L fits the most data in a smaller code. For a classroom printout, level M or Q is usually a good balance.

Can I send DeckOwl questions straight into Gimkit?

DeckOwl does not import directly into Gimkit. Plus includes PDF and DOCX exports, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports for other platforms.

Is there a free plan to try this?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports, and no credit card is needed to start.
