How an MCQ game maker fits into review

Review rounds feel like a game when every question comes from the material you have to know, which is why an MCQ game maker should start from your own files rather than a generic question bank. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes and photos of pages, then writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations.

Example multiple-choice questions on game theory

In game theory, what is a Nash equilibrium?A strategy profile where no player can do better by changing only their own strategy, because each choice is a best response to the others.

In a zero-sum game, what must the players' gains and losses add up to?Zero, because one player's gain is exactly the other player's loss, so the total payoff never changes.

In the prisoner's dilemma, why do rational players often end up at mutual defection?Defection is a dominant strategy for each player, so it gives the best payoff whatever the other player chooses.

What is a dominant strategy?A strategy that gives a player a higher payoff than any alternative, no matter what the opponents do.

What does a game tree show in a sequential game?The order of moves and the possible outcomes at each decision point, read from the root down to the final payoffs.

Questions from your material

Every question comes from the file you upload, so the review round covers what your course actually teaches.

Explanations for every answer

Each multiple-choice item shows why the correct answer is right, so missed questions become lessons.

Export when you need it

Plus exports PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for running the set in a learning system.

How it works

Upload your file

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.

Run the review

Work through the questions in the browser, check the explanations, and repeat the ones you missed.

DeckOwl does not add a game board, timer or leaderboard, so you will not get a live round like Kahoot-style play. What you get is a set of practice questions you can work through in the browser on the free plan, with every wrong answer explained.

Teachers who want to run the set in class can export to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on the Pro plan, and students on the Plus plan can export PDF or DOCX copies for printing.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a review game round include?

Most rounds work well with 10 to 20 questions so players can finish in a single sitting. Shorter sets are easier to repeat, and you can generate a new set from the same notes when you want fresh questions.

What makes a good multiple-choice question for review?

Good questions test one idea, have plausible wrong options, and avoid giveaway words like always or never in the correct answer. Explanations matter as much as the question, because they show the reasoning behind the right choice.

Does DeckOwl include a game mode?

DeckOwl generates questions and browser study modes, but it does not include a game board, timer or live leaderboard. The free plan is for studying in the browser, and exports are part of the Plus and Pro plans.

Can I export the questions?

Yes, PDF and DOCX exports are included on Plus at $39 a year or $7.99 a month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are on Pro at $14.99 a month. Students with a school email get 40% off.
