Turn your own notes into a game-style quiz
If you want a game-style quiz website for studying, DeckOwl turns your own course material into practice questions you answer in the browser. It does not host live class games.
Practice quizzes from your own material, not a live game
If you came looking for a game quiz website, the closest fit is a tool that turns your own course material into quiz questions you practice alone. DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain notes and photos of pages, then writes multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions with explanations.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question types
- Explanations for every answer so you learn from mistakes
- Study in the browser on the Free plan, with 3 generations per month
- Plus or Pro exports for PDF, DOCX, Anki, CSV, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML
Questions from your files
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages, and the text is read with text recognition.
Explanations on every answer
Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions show why the correct answer is right, so wrong picks teach you something.
Flashcards that come back
Flashcards use spaced repetition, so cards you miss return more often than the ones you already know.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document or set of notes for the topic you are studying.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, and generate the set.
Practice and retry
Answer in the browser, read each explanation, and retry the questions you missed.
The quizzes are built for study rather than classroom competition. Each answer comes with a reason, and the Free plan lets you practice everything in the browser with 3 generations per month. Paid plans remove the generation limit and add exports for offline review or your learning platform.

Frequently asked questions

How should I study game theory concepts?
Work through one classic example, such as the prisoner's dilemma, before moving on to equilibria. Then test yourself on definitions and on finding best responses in a payoff matrix.
