How a zombie-themed quiz fits into class review

Teachers who want a Gimkit-style zombie game for review usually already have the material: a unit slide deck, a chapter PDF or a page of handwritten notes. DeckOwl builds the questions from that material, so the game tests what students were actually taught.

  • Questions pulled from your own PDF, slides or notes
  • Explanations on every question, so wrong answers get corrected
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month, studied in the browser
  • Students get 40% off Plus or Pro with a school email
Example zombie-themed review questions for a class
In a timed review game, why do teachers often limit how long students have to answer?A time limit encourages retrieval from memory instead of searching notes, which strengthens recall.
Why does immediate feedback after each answer help learning in a review game?Students learn right away whether they were correct, so mistakes are fixed before they stick.
True or false: a single review game session can replace spaced practice over several days.False. A game gives a burst of retrieval practice, but spaced review over days improves long-term retention.
What does a question-level results report show a teacher after a class game?Percent correct for each question, which shows which topics to reteach. It helps target review time.
What makes a wrong answer choice useful in a zombie-themed quiz?It is plausible but clearly incorrect, so it tests real understanding rather than guessing from wording.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a review game round be?

Keep each round to the core ideas of one lesson so students stay focused and the timer still feels meaningful. Short rounds also make it easier to review missed questions right after.

How should students study after playing a review game?

Go back over the questions they missed and read the explanations, then retake those questions a few days later. Spacing practice over time builds longer-lasting memory than one game session.

Can I export the quiz to a learning management system?

PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in the Pro plan.

Is there a free way to make a quiz from my notes?
