Turn your class notes into a game-style quiz you can play
Upload a PDF, slides or notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations, ready to practice.
Why a game format helps with review
Students who want a video game feel for review usually stop when practice feels like a chore. Turning your own notes into short, scored rounds gives you that rhythm while keeping the content tied to what your class actually covered.
- Short rounds fit between classes or during a commute.
- Explanations show why each wrong answer was wrong.
- Missed questions can be reviewed again in the next session.
- Free plan includes 3 generations per month, studied in the browser.
Built from your own material
Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or a photo of a textbook page and the quiz is written from that content.
Explanations for every answer
Each multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question comes with an explanation, so wrong answers become study moments.
Three question formats
Mix multiple choice, true/false and open questions to test recognition and recall in the same session.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, text notes or a photo of pages.
Pick a question type
Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate the quiz.
Play and review
Work through the questions in your browser and read the explanation after each answer.
Quick rounds work because they force retrieval, which is more effective than rereading. Explanations after each answer close the gap between a guess and the right idea, and repeating missed questions helps the material stick.

Frequently asked questions
How can I use a game-style quiz to study for an exam?
Start with the topics your teacher emphasized and play short rounds on one section at a time. Review every explanation, then retest the questions you missed later in the week.
What makes a good game-style study question?
A good question asks you to apply or explain an idea, not just recognize a term. Test one concept per question, and use plausible wrong answers so you have to think.
Can I export the quiz to other tools?
Exporting is a paid feature, so the free plan lets you study in the browser without exports. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No, you can start on the free plan without entering a credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
