Why build a trivia round from your own material

Most Google Forms trivia templates come with generic questions that may not match your class, team or topic. If you already have notes, slides or a reading, you can turn them into a trivia round that tests exactly what you want to cover.

Questions drawn from your own notes or slides
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats
Explanations included so answers are easy to verify
Study in the browser on the free plan

Example trivia questions for a general knowledge round

Which planet is closest to the Sun?Mercury. It orbits the Sun at the smallest average distance of any planet.

What is the largest ocean on Earth?The Pacific Ocean. It covers more area than all of Earth's land combined.

How many bones are in a typical adult human body?206. Babies have more bones at birth, and some fuse together as they grow.

What chemical symbol stands for gold?Au. It comes from the Latin word aurum.

What is the capital of Australia?Canberra. It was chosen as a compromise between Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest cities.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Start from your own PDF, DOCX, slides, plain text or a photo of a page instead of a generic question bank.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation, so the answer key is easy to check before players see it.

Study in the browser

Practice the questions right away in the browser on the free plan, with no credit card needed to start.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or image of your pages.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions for your round.

Review and share

Remove any weak questions, then study them in the browser or export them on a paid plan.

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a page, and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions with an explanation for each answer. Review the list, remove anything you do not want, and study it in the browser.

Trivia works best when each round stays on one theme and every answer can be checked against a source. Generating from your own material makes that easier than copying questions from a template.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a trivia round include?

There is no fixed rule, but a round is easier to run when it covers one theme and fits the time you have. Generate a set, then remove any questions that are too hard or off topic before you share them.

What makes a good trivia question?

A good question has one clearly correct answer that someone could check against a reliable source. Short factual questions with a one-sentence explanation work well for quick rounds.

Can I export my quiz to Google Forms?

DeckOwl does not list a direct Google Forms export. The free plan studies in the browser, Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
