How a Quizizz-style review round works with DeckOwl

Teachers planning a Friday review often want something with fast rounds and a scoreboard. DeckOwl does not run live game rooms, but it can help you create a Quizizz-style game question set from your own material. Upload a PDF, slides, a DOCX or photos of pages, and the AI writes multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations.

Multiple-choice questions with explanations for each answer
True/false questions for quick rounds that check one claim
Short-answer questions for recall without options to guess from
Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on Plus, plus QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Example review game questions for classroom quizzes

What makes a review question useful for checking understanding?It has one clearly correct answer and plausible wrong choices, so a wrong pick reveals a specific misconception.

What is retrieval practice?Recalling information from memory instead of rereading it, which strengthens later recall more than rereading does.

What is spaced repetition?Reviewing material at growing intervals, so recall is tested just before it would otherwise fade.

Why are true/false questions good for a quick review round?They check one specific claim in a few seconds, which makes misconceptions easy to spot and discuss.

Why avoid "all of the above" choices in a review quiz?Students can guess correctly by spotting one right option without knowing the others, so the question measures less.

Generate the full set

Questions from your files

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

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation you can show as the reveal after students answer, so wrong picks become teaching moments.

Flashcards and mind maps too

Turn the same material into spaced repetition flashcards or a mind map for quick review between game rounds.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the PDF, slides or notes for the topic you want to review.

Pick question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions to mix into your round.

Run the review

Read the questions aloud or share the set in your own game tool, and use the explanations as the reveal.

Group the questions by topic, alternate true/false rounds with multiple-choice rounds, and keep each question tied to one idea from the lesson. Because the questions come from your notes, the game stays close to what students were actually taught instead of generic trivia.

Free accounts get 5 generations a week and study in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are on Pro, so you can move a question set into another tool when you need to.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good review game question?

Test one idea, give one clearly correct answer, and write wrong choices that match common mistakes. The explanation should say why the right answer is right.

Can I export my questions to use somewhere else?

Yes, on paid plans. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
