Write quiz questions for a live review round from your own notes
DeckOwl doesn't host live games, but it writes the multiple-choice, true/false and open questions you'd use in one, drawn from your own material.
Why a live round starts with the questions
Running a Quizizz live style review usually takes less time than writing the questions for it. A round of 10 to 15 good questions can eat an evening, especially when each one needs a plausible wrong answer and a reason the right one is right.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions from one upload
- Explanations written for each answer, including the wrong choices
- Browser study on the free plan, with no exports
- Plus and Pro add exports for PDF, DOCX and learning management systems
Questions from your files
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or a photo of a page, and get a quiz built from that material.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation, so students who miss one learn why before the round moves on.
Study in the browser
Students can work through the same quiz on their own afterward, with spaced repetition on paid plans.
How it works
Upload your material
Add the PDF, slides or notes covering the topic you plan to review.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the set.
Review and export
Check the questions, then export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.
DeckOwl reads your own material and drafts those questions with explanations, so you can edit the wording and pick the best ones. The round itself still runs in whatever tool you use for live play, and the same questions can be saved for independent study afterward.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a live review round include?
Most teachers find 10 to 15 questions fit a 15 to 20 minute round. Mix recall questions with application questions so the results show which ideas need more review.
What makes a good multiple-choice question for review?
Use one clearly correct answer and distractors that reflect common misconceptions rather than obvious jokes. A short explanation helps students learn from the choices they got wrong.
Does DeckOwl host live games where students join at the same time?
No. DeckOwl generates quizzes that students study in the browser, and paid plans export them to PDF, DOCX or, on Pro, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for a learning management system.
What does the free plan include?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, with no exports. Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month adds unlimited generations and exports.
