How the quiz gets made

Most people searching for online quiz competition software want a way to run a contest where teams answer questions and compare scores. DeckOwl does not host live games. What it does is produce the questions, which is the slow part of setting up a competition.

  • Generate questions from PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages
  • Get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats with explanations
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro
  • Start free with no credit card, then upgrade when you need exports or unlimited generations
Example economics quiz questions on market competition
In perfect competition, does an individual firm set its own price?No, it is a price taker because it sells an identical product and is too small to influence the market price.
What defines monopolistic competition?Many sellers offer differentiated products, which gives each some control over price, and firms can enter or exit fairly easily.
Why do firms in a perfectly competitive market earn zero economic profit in the long run?Profits attract new entrants, which increase supply and push the price down until it equals average total cost.
Why are firms in an oligopoly interdependent?A few large sellers dominate, so each firm's price and output decisions affect rivals, which must anticipate their reactions.
How does a monopoly's demand curve differ from a perfectly competitive firm's?A monopoly faces the downward-sloping market demand curve, while a perfectly competitive firm faces a horizontal demand curve at the market price.

Questions from your material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page, and get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions drawn from that content.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a reason for the correct answer, so players learn from misses as well as wins.

Exports for your own platform

Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro, to bring the quiz into the system you already use.

How it works

Upload your source

Add the lecture slides, reading or notes that the competition should cover.

Choose the question types

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

Review and export

Check the questions and explanations, then export the quiz in the format your platform needs.

You upload the material your contest should cover, and DeckOwl generates multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with explanations. Free accounts can study the quiz in the browser, while Plus and Pro add PDF, DOCX and LMS exports.

For a competition, the explanations matter as much as the scores. They give the winners and the losers a reason for each answer, which makes the review round more useful.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write good questions for a market competition quiz?

Use one concept per question and make the wrong options plausible, such as confusing monopolistic competition with oligopoly. Ask why an answer is correct as well as what it is, since explanations are where most learning happens.

What should a quiz on perfect competition cover?

Focus on price-taking behavior, identical products, free entry and exit, and long-run zero economic profit. Those four ideas explain most of the questions that appear in intro economics courses.

Can DeckOwl run a live multiplayer quiz?

No. DeckOwl generates the quiz from your material and lets you study it in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans let you export the questions to PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML for use in another platform.

Is there a free plan, and what does it include?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports. You do not need a credit card to start.
