Why write trivia questions from your own material

Turning lecture slides or a fact sheet into video trivia questions usually means reading the source twice, once to find the facts and once to phrase a question that has one clear answer. DeckOwl does the first pass for you and returns questions tied to the text you uploaded.

Questions are based only on the file or notes you upload.
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats are available.
Each question comes with an explanation you can read aloud.
Free plan includes 3 generations per month with no credit card needed.

Example trivia questions for a video quiz segment

What is the largest planet in our solar system?Jupiter. It is more massive than all the other planets combined, which is why it stands out in most space trivia.

Which element has the chemical symbol Au?Gold. The symbol comes from the Latin word aurum, which means gold.

How many bones are in a typical adult human body?206. Babies have more bones at birth, and many of them fuse together as the body develops.

In what year did Apollo 11 land the first humans on the Moon?1969. The landing took place on July 20, which is why that date is often celebrated.

What is the hardest natural mineral on the Mohs scale?Diamond. It is rated 10, the top of the scale, because it resists scratching by every other mineral.

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages and get trivia questions drawn only from what you provided.

Three question formats

Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer so the quiz fits a fast-paced video or a slower explainer.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so your narration can say why the answer is right, not just what it is.

How it works

Upload your source

Add the document, slides or notes that contain the facts you want to quiz viewers on.

Pick a format and count

Select the question type and how many questions you want, then generate the set.

Review and use in your video

Check each question and explanation, then copy them into your script or export them on a paid plan.

DeckOwl does not render or edit video. It produces the question text and explanations, and you bring them into your own recording, slideshow or live quiz. That keeps the facts accurate to your source while you control the pacing and presentation.

Frequently asked questions

How many trivia questions should a video quiz include?

Five to ten questions usually suit a short video, because viewers can keep track of the answers without losing the thread. Longer segments can use more if you pause between them.

What makes a trivia question work well on video?

Use one clearly correct answer, wording a viewer can follow by ear, and wrong options that are plausible but clearly incorrect. Short questions are easier to read on screen.

Can I export trivia questions to use in a video script?

Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning platforms.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and you do not need a credit card to start. Exports require a paid plan.
