Turn your own notes into trivia questions for friends
Upload the material you already have, such as a book summary, a lecture deck or a hobby guide, and get multiple-choice, true/false or open questions with answers ready for your next night in.
Why write trivia from your own material
Trivia night stalls when nobody wants to write the questions, so a trivia maker for friends can do the drafting for you. DeckOwl reads your own PDFs, slides, notes or photos of pages and drafts questions with a correct answer and an explanation for each one.
- Write questions about a topic your group already knows well, so the round feels like a challenge rather than a test.
- Mix easy warm-up questions with a few hard ones to keep everyone in the game.
- Check each answer against your source before the round starts, especially for dates, names and numbers.
- Keep the explanations handy so the scorekeeper can settle close calls quickly.
Questions from your files
Upload PDFs, DOCX files, slides, plain notes or photos of pages, and the questions are drafted from that content.
Answers and explanations
Each question comes with a correct answer and a short explanation, so you can settle disputes at the table.
Three question formats
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, and mix them within one round.
How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document or set of notes about the topics your group likes.
Choose the question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and review the drafts before anyone else sees them.
Run the round
Read the questions aloud, keep score, and use the explanations when someone wants proof.
Questions built from material you already care about tend to be more fun to answer. A fan can upload a season recap, a team can use its playbook, and a book club can turn chapter summaries into a round that only the people who read the book can win.
DeckOwl is a study tool, not a library of ready-made party questions. Read every draft before the game, because the AI works from what you upload and can misread a source or miss context.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write good trivia questions for friends?
Pick one specific fact with a single clear answer, and avoid trick wording so nobody can argue the point. Mix easy warm-ups with a few harder questions so the whole group has a chance.
What makes a trivia question fair?
A fair question has one answer that anyone can verify from a reliable source. Multiple-choice options should be plausible but clearly wrong, so the right answer is not obvious from the wording.
Can I export the trivia questions?
Exports to PDF and DOCX are part of the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
