Generate the full set

Multiple-choice and true/false

Get quiz questions with explanations for each answer, so every round teaches something as well as scoring points.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of pages, and the questions come from what you provided.

Short answer too

Open-ended questions with explanations work well for tiebreakers and harder rounds.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or a photo of a page. You can start without a credit card.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false, or short answer, then generate your set of questions.

Run the round

Study in your browser on the free plan. Exports to PDF or DOCX are part of the Plus plan.

Quiz nights work best when the questions come from sources you trust. Upload your own notes, slides from a general knowledge class, or material you have the rights to use, and DeckOwl writes multiple-choice, true/false, and short answer questions, each with an explanation for the correct answer.

Writing questions yourself takes time, and the same facts tend to repeat. Generating a set from your material lets you cut the weakest questions and keep the ones that suit your table.
