Trivia rounds built from the material you already have

Trivia rounds stick when the questions are about something real. If you want a Quizizz-style trivia round, upload your own slides or notes and DeckOwl writes questions that tie back to your material instead of a generic list of facts.

  • Write questions from your own slides or notes, not from a generic bank
  • Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer in one round
  • Read explanations after each answer so misses become lessons
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Questions from your material

DeckOwl reads your PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photo of a page and writes trivia questions only from what it finds there.

Mixed question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer so your round moves quickly and keeps players guessing.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so the round teaches the why as well as the answer.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of notes. Images are read with text recognition.

Pick a question type

Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then set how many you want for the round.

Run or export the round

Study the questions in the browser on the Free plan, or export to PDF or DOCX on Plus. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

A good round usually has 10 to 20 questions, with a mix of multiple choice and true/false so the pace stays up. Because each question comes with an explanation, players who miss an answer still learn the reason behind it.

Run the round live with your class, or hand out the questions as a study set before the next test. Either way, the questions match what you are actually learning.
