Why a trivia set starts with your own material

Writing trivia questions for a game night takes longer than most people expect, especially when every question needs a correct answer and a clear reason. A Jeopardy trivia maker works best when it starts from the notes or readings you already have, so the questions match what your players are supposed to know.

Questions come from your PDFs, slides, DOCX files or notes rather than generic lists
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats in one generation
Explanations give hosts a quick answer reason for each question
Free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study

Questions from your material

DeckOwl reads your PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes and photos of pages, then writes questions based on what you actually covered.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so players learn why an answer is right, not just which one it is.

Study in the browser or export

Practice on the free plan in your browser. Paid plans export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for classroom tools.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of a textbook page. No credit card is needed to start.

Choose the question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate a set sized for your round.

Review, edit and run the round

Check the questions and explanations, remove any you do not want, then export or practice in the browser.

DeckOwl does not produce a board game. It generates quiz questions from the material you upload, and each one includes an explanation you can read aloud or print. You decide how many questions to keep and how to group them into categories for your round.

Because the questions come from your own sources, the same set can work for a classroom review, a study group or a family quiz night. Edit anything that is too easy or too obscure before you play.
