How a team trivia maker fits into quiz night

If you want a team trivia maker that writes rounds from your own material, DeckOwl reads your PDFs, slides or notes and drafts questions with answers and explanations. You choose the topic by what you upload, so a biology unit or a company training deck becomes a themed round.

  • Turn lecture slides or training decks into themed rounds
  • Mix multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one set
  • Read the explanation aloud when teams ask why an answer is right
  • Study the same material with flashcards and mind maps afterward

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a team trivia round have?

Most rounds work well with 8 to 12 questions, so teams can finish in a reasonable time. Shorter rounds of true/false items suit warm-ups, while open questions need more time to discuss.

What makes a good trivia question for a team?

A good question has one clear, checkable answer and a fact teams could reasonably know or work out. Avoid questions that depend on wording tricks, and check each explanation before you read it out.

Can I export the questions to PDF or DOCX?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month and does not include exports.

Does it work with PowerPoint slides?

Yes, you can upload PPTX files along with PDFs, DOCX files, plain text notes or photos of pages. Questions are generated from the text in those files.
