  • Multiple choice, true/false, and open questions in one set
  • Every question includes an explanation for answer review
  • Free plan includes 3 generations a month; no credit card needed to start

Questions from your own material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of pages. Trivia questions are built from what you actually gave it.

Three question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false, or open questions. Mix them to keep a round varied.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so you can settle disputes quickly when players ask why.

How it works

Upload your source

Add slides, notes, or a PDF on the topic you want the round to cover.

Generate the questions

DeckOwl writes questions with answers and explanations. Review them and cut any that are too easy or unclear.

Take them into your game

Copy the questions into your game or export them. Paid plans include PDF and DOCX export.

Good rounds mix difficulty and question type. Use multiple choice for quick recall, true/false for misconceptions, and open questions for ideas that need a sentence to answer. DeckOwl produces all three, so you can pick the ones that fit your group.

DeckOwl creates the questions. It does not list live hosting or player joining as a feature, so run the session in the platform you already use.

Frequently asked questions

How many trivia questions should a join game round have?

Most rounds work well with 10 to 20 questions, which fits a 15 to 20 minute session. Shorter rounds keep energy up, and longer ones suit review sessions.

What makes a good trivia question for a group game?

A good question has one clearly correct answer and a short, specific wording. Multiple-choice distractors should sound plausible but be clearly wrong on review.

Does DeckOwl host the game so players can join?

No. DeckOwl generates the questions and explanations, but it does not list live hosting or player joining as a feature. You would run the round in your own game platform.

Which export formats cost money?

Exports are paid features. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
