Turn your notes into team trivia rounds with AI
Upload a lecture deck, a reading or your own notes and get trivia questions your teams can answer, each with a short explanation.
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
Questions from your material
Trivia comes from what you upload, so the facts match your PDF, slides or notes rather than a generic list.
Mixed question types
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or open questions to vary rounds and keep teams guessing.
Explanations for the host
Each answer includes a short reason, so you can settle disputes and read the right answer aloud with context.
How it works
Upload your source
Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Pick question types
Select multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and how many you want for each round.
Run the round
Review the questions, edit any you want to change, then use them on quiz night from your browser.
Good team trivia has a clear answer for every question and a little variety in difficulty. Mix easy warm-ups with harder questions, and keep true/false items for quick rounds. Check each draft before the event, since the explanations make it easy to catch a wrong or unclear answer.

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.
