Building the question bank for your game

A good review game starts with questions that match what you actually studied. Knowing how to make a Gimkit game mostly means having a question bank ready before anyone logs in, and writing that bank by hand is the slow part. DeckOwl generates multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations from your own material, so you spend your time checking them instead of drafting them.

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations
Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study

Example biology questions for a review game

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out cellular respiration, which generates most of the cell's ATP.

True or false: Enzymes are used up in the reactions they catalyze.False. Enzymes are not consumed, so they can catalyze many reactions over and over.

What is the role of the ribosome?Ribosomes read mRNA and link amino acids into a polypeptide chain, which is where protein synthesis happens.

Which phase of mitosis separates sister chromatids?Anaphase. Spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids toward opposite poles of the cell.

What gas do plants release as a product of photosynthesis?Oxygen. It is released when water is split during the light-dependent reactions.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a review game have?

Most classroom rounds work well with about 20 to 30 questions, mixing quick recall with a few application questions. Start with the terms your teacher stressed, then add questions from each section of your notes.

How do I write good wrong answers for multiple-choice game questions?

Good distractors are plausible mistakes, such as a related term or a common misconception from class. Avoid obviously silly options, because they let students guess without studying.

Can I export the questions to use in another tool?

Yes, on paid plans. Plus includes 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 studying in the browser, but exports require a paid plan. Students get 40% off with a school email.
