What a quiz show generator can and cannot do

Teachers who search for a quiz show generator usually want two things: sharp questions that fit a lesson and a format that keeps students competing. DeckOwl handles the first part by turning your own material into questions with answers and explanations.

Questions are based on the slides, notes or PDFs you upload
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats are available
Every question includes an explanation for discussion after each answer
Free plan covers 3 generations per month; exports require Plus or Pro

Example biology questions for a review quiz show

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion. It carries out most of the cell's aerobic respiration, which generates ATP.

True or false: prokaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.False. Prokaryotes store their DNA in a nucleoid region that is not enclosed by a membrane.

What does the cell membrane control?The movement of substances in and out of the cell. It is a selectively permeable phospholipid bilayer.

Which process splits glucose in the cytoplasm?Glycolysis. It makes a small net gain of ATP and does not require oxygen.

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?It absorbs light energy, mainly red and blue wavelengths, to drive the light reactions.

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages and get multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes an explanation, so the host can correct a wrong answer on the spot and students learn why.

Export when you need it

Plus exports to PDF and DOCX. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for quiz platforms your school already uses.

How it works

Upload your slides or notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, and how many questions you want for the round.

Run the round and review

Read the questions aloud or import them into your game tool, then use the explanations to discuss the answers.

The second part depends on your classroom. You can read the questions aloud as a game show, print them, or move them into a Kahoot-style tool you already use. Keeping the question writing separate from the live game lets you control the content and the timing.

Because each question comes from your notes, the round tests what you actually taught rather than generic trivia.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a review quiz show have?

Ten to fifteen questions usually fit a 15 to 20 minute round without losing attention. Mix a few easy recall questions with harder application questions so every student gets some wins.

What question types work best for a classroom review game?

Multiple-choice questions with plausible distractors work well for fast rounds. True/false questions suit quick checks, and short answer questions work better when you want students to explain a concept.

Does DeckOwl host a live game like Kahoot?

No. DeckOwl generates the questions and explanations from your material, and you run the game in whatever tool your class uses. Pro exports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for platforms that accept those formats.

Which export formats are included in each plan?

The free plan has no exports and covers 3 generations per month. Plus, at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, adds PDF and DOCX export, and Pro at $14.99 per month adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
